It's small too. The "islands" are usually one major ride, and a few small ones. Other than that its just themed gift shops and food stands.
But Spiderman The Ride is the best ride ever. Literally |
I second the Spider-Man ride thought.
The park is not exciting. I mean, it is cool don't get me wrong but don't expect too much. The Hulk and Spider-Man ride are the highlights. Dr. Doom's Tower of terror or whatever is kinda lame. |
but in it's defense it's not a park. It's just one section of a larger park

What's extraordinarily lame about it is that it's a common style of ride, but a really weak version. They have epic versions of the same ride at basically every Six Flags. Why they couldn't make the Dr. Doom one the same size or bigger is beyond me. It's Universal Fuckin Studios not a traveling carnival
|
I love The Hulk's roller coaster
|
I would travel to Dubai for a Marvel Theme Park. Seriously.
|
It would seem Zombieland writers, Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick have been tapped to write the Deadpool movie. Word is they're crazy enough to do it. Hmm...

Well hopefully he pulls out a great movie, because Spiderman 2 is one of the best comic book movies ever.
Unfortunately, these rumors suck. Hopefully they're just that: rumors. Lizard and Black Cat will do |
I wouldn't mind Felicia Hardy just appearing in the movie and saving Black Cat for Spidey 5. We don't want villain overload again.
|
Yea that would be even better. I feel like the villain should just be there to provide conflict. The one villain format worked so much better. Then you can put much more focus on the conflicts in Peter Parker's life and how he balances them with being Spiderman and one well developed villain.

House of Mouse on Marvel:
Disney president Bob Iger spoke about the future of Disney's merge with Marvel. He wants to expand on Marvel's less famous characters and see if some new franchises could come of it. And it would appear that Sony will keep Spidey for a little longer (no cross overs still). It's already clear that Fox will keep all things mutants for at least the next 5 years, so Disney seems to have a 'live and let live' attitude for current deals while reaching out to untapped material. Smart move. Elsewhere, Marvel Comics Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada has seen a rough cut of Iron Man 2. He seems to like it. |
|
Hoping he gets full armor. He may terrorize 'Nascar' Tony but he doesn't look like a challenge for Iron Man.
|
Disney needs to make a Moon Knight movie.
:shifty: |
More likely they're gonna jump on Power Pack like yellow on banana. And to be honest, I'd be for that production.
|
I want another Punisher movie in the style of Warzone.
Get on it Disney! |
I doubt Disney would touch that one. They'd allow it though, as many Marvel characters can still be use by studios as they see fit. What Disney will actually put their hand in is still up in the air.

Not an official poster, but kinda awesome anyway. Gizmo-Duck and Iron Man FTW! |
LOL at Namor with the mermaid.
|
Fucking awesome that The Incredibles is part of Marvel, in a roundabout way. They should really do some stuff with that because The Incredibles are incredible
|
I'd love to see The Incredibles interact with the classic comic book characters that they parody
|
lol find Beauty and The Beast
|
Also, Gizmo-Duck looks badass. Did he always look that cool?
|
lol Stitch on the Silver Surfer's board.
|
Namor and Ariel are going to get it on

OH SHIT!

OH FUCK YES!

I don't know if I can take a villain who looks like he is playing jump rope seriously. I probably can though.
|
Whiplash will kill your ass. Just so you know.

Looks awesome. Iron Man and War Machine fighting side-by-side :drool:

This gets me horny for Avengers. It's gonna be a fiesta of craziness.

Bryan Singer confirms he's directing X-Men First Class.
http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=61682 Why couldn't it just be a regular X-Men movie? |
Yeah FFS carry on the fucking story to bigger and better things. Jesus.
|
Glad to see Singer back, but rather have X4 than a prequel.
|
I can't blame him for not wanting to clean up the mess that X3 left though. I mean 3 of his main characters are disintegrated. Would be tough to get things back on track.
|
Xavier coulda come back through that body on Muir Island that was suggested at the end?
And bring in two other main eventers, actors and characters. But I know what you mean, too much of a mess to clean up. But still, if he doesn't do it now, it will never get done :( |
I think they passed the point of no return. I don't know what possesed them to do that to the franchise, but at this point all they got left is spinoffs and prequels. I'm not a fan of them. They blew the whole thing up for the hell of it. It gave the franchise no real future. They easily could have waited a year or so for Singer to finish Superman.
Plus they're burning through mutants like crazy. What's the point? The way they used major characters like Gambit, Beast, and Collossus was pretty pointless. Juggernaut too. And they just forgot about Nightcrawler? He went back to the Munich Circus I suppose... |
Stop it, you're making me upset.
|
gonna watch X2 today
|
It's clear to see though. You watch a movie like that and you see characters like Stryker and Nightcrawler introduced. They pull their weight in a major way and are well developed. They actually contribute something to the movie.
Then you have the non-Singer sequels. They're just throwing mutants out there. Just an excuse to get them in the trailer and on the toy racks, really. Why's Gambit in Wolverine? Oh yea, he does a few card tricks and then gives Logan a lift. Juggernaut is just randomly on a truck and they adopt him in the brotherhood. No relation to Magneto? Why would they not be after a guy like him sooner? He just kinda tags along. Archangel was pretty terrible too. |
Kelsey Grammer as Beast was a fantastic casting job, but he was very minimal in the plot. He should have been a center-peice of the plot like Wolverine and Rogue were in the first, and Nightcrawler in the second.
|
Nightcrawler didn't stay because the X-Men led a violent life [/X-Men Official Game]. Still pretty lame.
I mean, even after X3 tried it's best to merc the series, there's still ways to go on after that. There's a lot of mutants they could have pooled to rebuild the cast, and even more stories worth adapting. And just like the comics, when in doubt - put Wolverine in it. Although I'd elect to have a new male lead (Josh Holloway as a grown up Gambit, and I'd practically let him write the contract himself) and of course... Sentinels (maybe the government got into the Danger Room's files and made prototypes based on what the mutants considered a challenge). There's a lot of ways I would have taken it from X3, and I'm not a Hollywood writer. I'm assuming it's a not a creativity thing so much as a 'fresh start' thing. Which is weird because to continue the series from a reboot, you'll eventually tread on X1 and X2's territorial timeline... and then what? New Wolverine? Retold stories? Wolverine and by extension, Deadpool spun off the Singer verse. Fox clearly wants these features, their own continuity is looking skewed. Not that the lay man would care, these movies print money. I just feel that if X-Men is to be rebooted at least let Marvel handle it and merge with their Avengers movie-verse. |
There was so much left to do after the Phoenix saga too. As long as they kept Prof X and Cyclops in the game they could have done Appocalypse and Mr. Sinister.
Gambit and Beast obviously could have been introduced properly during this time. And eventually Cable and Bishop could have been big hits. |
X3 was such a fucking mess franchise speaking. It wasn't even that bad a movie, but from a continuity standpoint - it just has weird story decisions. Who would kill Cyclops? They tried too many 'third movie must be epic' beats that they didn't have to, wasting characters and forcing plots (Rogue comes off weak).
|
Yea that's how I felt. I mean it was entertaining. They were just throwing bells and whistles at us, but it was watchable. Nowhere near as good as Singer's movies, but it wasn't Ghost Rider bad or anything. The only problem was there were these shocking moments where Prof X and Cyclops die and it's just like, "why?"
It's not always a good thing. |
I agree with X3...
god..what an epic disappointment. I think the whole X-men movie franchise has been a disappointment. X2 was the most tolerable in my opinion. Nightcrawler was a fucking pussy in the movies. With the exception of a few character portrayals( speaking mostly for Wolverine), the whole thing is a fucking waste of time. I am all for a reboot. By the way..how come the White Queen just looked like some lame ass from Portland, Oregon in Wolverine: Origins? The White Queen has always been hot as hell. |
Being that Origins takes place way back when, I didn't mind White Queen or Gambit. Between then and X3 they could easily have evolved into their comic versions (or as close as they could be).
|
I agree with everything you guys just put.
Thinking about it, yinno what, I actually wouldn't care, would love it, and would see it as a brass yet awesome move if Singer just turned to the fans and said, 'yinno what, X3 was fucking shit, this is how it was supposed to of been done' - I mean its rarely done right, but how cool would it be if he just said 'I'm re-making, re-doing X3' - I'll fuckin pay to see it, and I know I'd prob love it. |
I'd like an X-Men movie with Mr. Sinister
by like I mean I would be incredibly super excited. just throwing that out there |
I made a comic about this guy who was really old and like upwards of 120 and he had been told by a doctor that he wouldn't live if he was struck very hard by a blow again. The doctor emphasizes this because the man is a warrior with many enemies, so his age is particularly intriguing.
The comic was about his last 10 days, but time skips quite randomly so it's interesting to see how it spread across ten comics. Much like my other comic about the guy whose superpowered bioengieneered advancements are found in others chosen by this crime boss. T |
And by much like I mean in length not premise.
|
I think they should carry on the francise. Come on, they got Beast, Collosus, Storm, Iceman, Kitty Pryde, Wolverine, Angel, maybe Phoenix could come back and bring Cyclops with her? My point is that they've got the characters to build up a strong team. Maybe bring back Nightcrawler as well.
I'd love to see X4 with Apocalypse in it. Maybe Phoenix would come back to help the losing X-Men beat the big A, kinda like in Ultimate X-Men. |
Here's a pic I found that someone did on Photoshop. It's 'The Rock' Dwanyne Johnson as Apocalypse. Looks pretty cool IMO.
http://www.khanada.org/casting/TheRockApocalypse.jpg |
james earl jones as apocalypse would be perfect
|
cgi'ing his head ojn the rocks body of course
|
I would hate to have Apocalypse actually look like his comic form.
|
would you rather have him be a shapless cloud?
|
I'm almost certain there's something between his comic form and a fucking cloud. Degrees, people.
|
If he looked more like Apocalypse from the Ultimate universe it'd be pretty cool.

Wow, I've not ever heard of this Kick-Ass movie, but that looks pretty sweet!
|
Apparently the Magneto movie is off..which I don't care about since the whole idea did not sound very interesting to begin with.
|
Seconded.
|
Actually, it sounds like a large chunk of the Magneto movie might end up being covered in the First Class movie.
|
Doubt that.

Ghost Rider 2 Bullet Points:
– Mark Steven Johnson is not directing the sequel – Eva Mendes will not return as Roxanne Simpson – Ghost Rider 2 (or Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance) will be a hard PG-13 – The film is going to take place in Europe – De Luca is open to David Goyer directing the sequel but it all comes down to his very busy schedule – Says the sequel will be like "pushing the reset button" on the franchise (LOL what franchise? it was one movie!) – As you might expect from the success of Avatar, Ghost Rider 2 might be done in 3D – Says Goyer has just delivered his updated outline to the studio – And says Ghost Rider 2 could easily be in front of the cameras this year |
Spidey Speaks:
"Not only do I have specific ideas, but the ideas are evolving on the page," he said. "It's all happening right now. It's all sort of coming together. It's very exciting to me. I think the evolution of the character is really exciting, to be rooted in the history of what we've done already and to have a continuity, yet have a progression or evolution." |
So will Ghost Rider 2 have Nicolas Cage again? I hate seeing the same characters being played by different actors, as far as I'm concerned Nicolas Cage is Johnny Blaze.
|
As far as I know there was no talk of replacing him, and Cage spoke about returning several time before.
|
Sucks tho. Ghost Rider was bullshit. Decent popcorn flick, but my inner nerd was ready to burn down Hollywood.
|
Hugh Jackman says Wolverine 2 may shoot in a year or so - 2011-ish. This would make the movie dropping in the 2012 timeframe (guessing Spring, May specifically if they wanna be historical). The next two years will be a pretty fruitful time for Marvel fans.
|
|
Cool.
