00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: am your host Movie Mike. We have a new Marvel

Speaker 1: movie out this week, so in honor of that, I

4
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: want to tell you, in my opinion, what I think

5
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 1: are the five most important superhero films of all time.

6
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: In the movie review, we'll be talked about that Marvel movie,

7
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: Captain America, Brave New World? Is Marvel back? Is Marvel

8
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: taking a backstep? Is this just the filler movie? Are

9
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: we gonna get to something great soon? We'll talk about that.

10
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 1: And in the trailer park we'll break down Jurassic Park

11
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: Rebirth and why I both love and hate this trailer.

16
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: movies from the Nashville Podcast Network and this is Movie

17
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 1: Mike Movie Podcast. I came up with a list of

18
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: what I think are the five most important films in

19
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: superhero history. These are not my five favorite, they're what

20
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: I believe to be the most important to the development

21
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: and history of the genre. And I feel that these

22
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: movies are the stepping stones that paved the way. Without

23
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: these movies, we would not be where we are today.

24
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: They not only influenced the comic book genre, but also

25
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,279
Speaker 1: I feel most of these influence movies as a whole

26
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 1: in creating big spectacles and blockbusters. So let's get right

27
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: into this list at number one, going back to nineteen

28
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 1: eighty nine. I'm gonna do these in order, by the way,

29
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: so in order that they came out in order of

30
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: their history. To get to one, you got to get

31
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: to the other. These I feel are the most influential,

32
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: and number one is Batman nineteen eighty nine. Why I

33
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: believe this is the first most important superhero film is

34
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: it created a new public perception of Batman and it

35
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: legitimized the genre and took Batman from being a comedic

36
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: character to a greedy character even by nineteen eighty standards.

37
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: And this was a big deal, more so than Superman

38
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: that came the decade before it. This is the one

39
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: that I feel, without its success would not have led

40
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: to any other superhero movie being made. Before this, Batman

41
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: hadn't been a gritty character. And even if you look

42
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: at nineteen eighty nine. Now it's not as gritty as

43
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 1: what we know to be now as a gritty Batman,

44
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 1: But at the time it was revolutionary because everybody associated

45
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: Batman with Adam West's depiction of him, which was great

46
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: at the time, but that show was a comedy. It

47
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: made him really zany. It made the fight scenes overly

48
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: cheesy with the bam zap Powell. It made Robin a

49
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: very just one dimensional character. And for the longest time

50
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: this movie was trying to be made in this way.

51
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: Michael Uson, who is somebody who was fighting for this.

52
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 1: He had the rights to Batman for a decade, maybe

53
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 1: even longer than a decade, and he was fighting for

54
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: the depiction of the character that he knew was out there.

55
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: He was a fan of Batman from when he was

56
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: a kid, and he was the person whenever that TV

57
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: show debuted he was like, Oh no, this is wrong,

58
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: this is bad, this is not the Batman I love.

59
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: So he bought the rights for such a little amount

60
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: and kept trying to find producers, kept trying to get

61
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: a movie like this Green Wit, And it wasn't until

62
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty nine's Batman that his love of Batman, his

63
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: complete Nerdom actually came to life and he was able

64
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: to do it. So he was this driving force trying

65
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: to bring this darker, more serious version of the character

66
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: to life. And then you combine that with Tim Burton

67
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: and we finally got it, and it changed the public

68
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: perspective of not only what Batman could be, but what

69
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: superhero movies could be as a whole. Now, even in

70
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty nine, these movies were still being geared towards kids,

71
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: with the idea of being you put out a movie

72
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: and then you sell a bunch of merchandise, which has

73
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: always been the model. Star Wars was the one who

74
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: really made that a thing, like, oh, you put out

75
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: the movie, then you sell a buttload of toys. That

76
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: was the model. So we weren't there quite yet, but

77
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: it did show that you can make something for kids

78
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: because it is a superhero movie, but also that would

79
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: appeal to the older audience. If you look at this

80
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: one at times, it doesn't feel like a kid's movie.

81
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 1: This movie moved on to Batman Returns, and that one

82
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: you had a public outcry from parents saying, this is

83
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: not a kid's movie. Whatsoever. You have penguin biting at

84
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: people's noses causing them to be all bloody, and there

85
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: was a big problem with that. But the reason I

86
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: believe that this movie was so important is because it

87
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: was the first movie to really usher in this new

88
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: era of superhero film and say, a movie like this

89
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: can be made and you can change what everybody believes

90
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 1: these characters to be. And you're gonna see this theme

91
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: throughout my list because whenever you set a standard, everybody

92
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: starts following that and then it almost takes somebody else

93
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: to break that mold yet again to re revolutionize the genre.

94
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: But this movie did that. It gave us not only

95
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: the gritty hero, but also the gritty villain. Jack Nicholson

96
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: set the standard for creating a villain like this made

97
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: everybody who played the Joker after him have some really

98
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: big shoes to fill. So at number one, I have

99
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: Batman nineteen eighty nine. At number two, it would come

100
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: almost ten years after this in nineteen ninety eight. My

101
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: next most important superhero film of all time is Blade

102
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: from nineteen ninety eight. Why this movie is so important

103
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: one I feel it's underappreciated, it's underrated, and how revolutionary

104
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: this movie was and how important it was for Marvel's success.

105
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: It proved that you could make a superhero movie a

106
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: comic book character for adults. Because this movie is R rated,

107
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: it's bloody, it's violent, and it's cool. And at the time,

108
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: Blade wasn't even a popular character were in the comic books.

109
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: Even after this movie came out, his comics still struggled

110
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: and they readapted them to fit the movie character. More so,

111
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: he wasn't even a top tier character, not even the

112
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: second stream character. Even now, the character of Blade isn't

113
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 1: as popular as all these other Marvel characters, and you

114
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: look at their model now, and this is what later

115
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: Marvel would bank on because there had been attempts to

116
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: make other character movies before this be successful. You had

117
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: pretty much made for TV movie with Captain America Spider Man,

118
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: and those just never quite worked out. This was the

119
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: first successful Marvel movie ever. It was the second one

120
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: because before this, back in nineteen eighty six, they made

121
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: a Howard the Duck movie. I don't know why they

122
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: decided to go with Howard the Duck first, but that

123
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: movie was awful, terrible, and it was a long time

124
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: until Marvel had success. So this movie was important, not

125
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: only for Marvel because without its success, it was right

126
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: there at the brink of bankert It had been fighting

127
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: bankruptcy for so long because they just didn't have a

128
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 1: successful movie. This was their first big hit, their first

129
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: big taste of success, and it also inspired and was

130
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: the stepping stone for a lot of R rated movies

131
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: to come. If there wasn't Blade, we would have never

132
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: got Deadpool, we would have never got Logan, we would

133
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: have never got other comic book movies outside of Marvel,

134
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: like Watchmen and kick Ass or even Suicide Squad. All

135
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: of those movies' success had to come from proving that

136
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: you could make an R rated superhero movie, even more

137
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: so that you could do it without a popular character. Now,

138
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: at the time, Wesley Snipes was a very popular actor,

139
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: so that brought in some fans. Vampires in the nineties

140
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: were all so hot as well, so that helped. And

141
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: I believe this is what Marvel started to do whenever

142
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: they sold all the rights to their main characters to

143
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: Sony and to Fox, and later when they're trying to

144
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: build things, they decided, okay, okay, well we can't use

145
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: our most popular characters. Let's build a team of all

146
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: of our second string and third stringers and see if

147
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,239
Speaker 1: we can make something out of this, and that proved

148
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: to be successful, So it's working with what you have

149
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: and also ahead of its time because you had a

150
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: black lead in this movie in a superhero film. He

151
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: was the first successful black superhero in mainstream cinema. Paved

152
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: the way for Black Panther. And I know X Men

153
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: was already in development that would come out in the

154
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: year two thousand, but if it wasn't for the success

155
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: of Blade, that wouldn't have set up the X Men.

156
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: And it made one hundred and thirty one million dollars

157
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: worldwide on a forty five million dollars budget, and Wesley

158
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 1: Snipe said it best in Dead Pull and Wolverine. There

159
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: will only be one Blade, so hopefully they still bring

160
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: this character back to life at number two from nineteen

161
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: ninety eight, I have Blade at number three. We're moving

162
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: forward just about four years. I have two thousand and

163
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: two's Spider Man. And this movie solidified what Blade started

164
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety eight, dropping a flag into the modern

165
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: era and saying superhero films are here to be a thing.

166
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: Without the success of this movie, Marvel would have fallen off.

167
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: It was also the first big budget superhero movie. It

168
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: cost one hundred and thirty nine million dollars to make,

169
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 1: which was a lot of money at the time to

170
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,959
Speaker 1: spend on any blockbuster movie, let alone a superhero movie.

171
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: But it went on to make eight hundred and twenty

172
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: one million dollars at the box office. It made a

173
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: star of Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunns, who was already a

174
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: star made or an even bigger star, and then it

175
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: brought Willem to foe in the mix as one of

176
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: the best villains of the modern era in the two thousands.

177
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: It also was the first Marvel movie to be nominated

178
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: for an oscar. It got a nomination for Sound and

179
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: Visual Effects, which these visual effects were cutting edge at

180
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: the time and a big problem with every Spider Man

181
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: movie and TV show that was attempted to be made

182
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: before this is they never got the web swinging downright.

183
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: And if you don't get that downright, if it looks

184
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: awkward for Spider Man to be climbing and scaling buildings,

185
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: it just doesn't work. But Sam Raimi got it down

186
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: in this one, so it looked great. It also brought

187
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: the comics to life in a way that no other

188
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: superhero movie had done before this, because with Batman and

189
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 1: Blade being more dark and gritty, and of course you

190
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,599
Speaker 1: had the other not so great Batman movies of the

191
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,479
Speaker 1: nineties happening before this, but it was bright and colorful

192
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: and it really popped. And not only did you have

193
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: the great action and the great web swinging, you had

194
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: a true love story and a very relatable character, which

195
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 1: is something we hadn't had before this, and it's something

196
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: that Spider Man has always been that he has been

197
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 1: the most relatable character. Somebody who is just a nerd,

198
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: doesn't have things go his way, can't get the girl.

199
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,719
Speaker 1: You truly believe in this story and you're truly right

200
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: there with him all throughout. Spider Man one as one

201
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: of the best kissing scenes in cinema of all time,

202
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: and even looking past my bias of Spider Man being

203
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: my favorite character, I feel this was the catalyst to

204
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: create that superhero film explosion of the two thousands. It

205
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: laid the groundwork for not only the MCU which would

206
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 1: come later, of course, but also for the X Men

207
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: series that was already happening at the time. It's also

208
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: obviously important for laying the groundwork for all the Spider

209
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: Man movies to come. Which the reason we've had so

210
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: many Spider Man movies is because of the film rights.

211
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: They have to make a movie in a certain amount

212
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 1: of time or else they have to surrender the film rights.

213
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: So that is why we have so many projects coming

214
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: out at any given time. But we've had Toby maguire

215
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: Spider Man, Andrew Garfield's Tom holland Miles Morales on the

216
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: animated side, But neither of those would have existed if

217
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: it wouldn't have been for the success of this movie

218
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: that was also so relevant in pop culture. You had

219
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: the music videos connection. It was a big deal to

220
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: get your song into a Spider Man movie. So that

221
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: is why I have it at number three. At number four,

222
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: I could have gone a couple of different ways here,

223
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 1: and I had to think about the two thousands as

224
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: a whole and which movie really was the most important.

225
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 1: So I'm going with two thousand and fives. Batman begins,

226
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: and it's again going back to what I was stating earlier.

227
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: It's all about breaking the mold. And even back in

228
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: the two thousands, we started to get into a little

229
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: bit of a formula when it came to what we

230
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: thought about superhero movies as an audience, and Batman Begins

231
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: totally broke the mold, and it was a bit of

232
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: a risk. Yeah, Christopher Nolan, who was relatively unknown as

233
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: a director at the time. He had done movies like

234
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: Memento and Insomnia, which were both the great movies, but

235
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: him taking on a Batman movie was an interesting choice.

236
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: And you have to think about the fall off of

237
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: Batman in the late nineties with movies like Batman and

238
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: Robin Batman forever. When you think about these movies, I

239
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: enjoyed them as a kid. I wasn't thinking about plot holes,

240
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: thinking about cheesy things that the older critics at the

241
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: time I feel would point out and rip these movies

242
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: to shreds. To me, I still enjoyed these movies, But

243
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: when you look at how they kind of fit in

244
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: with all the other ones. They were fun, they were colorful,

245
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: they were for the most part, comic book accurate, at

246
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: least when it came to the costume design. I think

247
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: overall it was the plot of these movies that maybe

248
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: make them not the most rewatchable. Maybe they got a

249
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: little bit too campy and goofy, which was kind of

250
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: reverting what Batman was. And now we just keep getting

251
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: darker and darker and darker. So it's all sick, little baby.

252
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: But when Batman Begins came along, it saved Batman, changed

253
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 1: his perception yet again, and it introduced this new realm

254
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: of realism which all the other superhero movies of the

255
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: two thousands didn't really have. They were still very fantastical,

256
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: still not really say in reality, you didn't really have

257
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: that base level crime. You were always fighting still over

258
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: the top villains with very supernatural powers. But then comes

259
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: Batman Begins, and suddenly the crime feels a little bit

260
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: more real. When you think of these villains, you think

261
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: they are actually people that could exist in some world.

262
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: Even though it is Gotham, it still feels like New

263
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: York City, it feels like Chicago, it feels like Pittsburgh.

264
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: Ushering in of what DC as a whole would try

265
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: to hold on to. This movie walked so the Dark

266
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: Knight could run. Because I remember when this movie came out,

267
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: I didn't entirely love it. I thought it was a

268
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: little bit boring. I was fourteen years old at the time,

269
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: and I didn't fully get it. It felt so different

270
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: to me. I was like, what do you mean. These

271
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: characters aren't colorful and they're not running around causing a muck,

272
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: And it took a little bit for me to appreciate

273
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: Batman Begins. The Dark Knight I loved instantly in two

274
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: thousand and eight. But if it wasn't for the success

275
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: of Batman Begins laying that groundwork and changing the perception,

276
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: that movie wouldn't have been as successful. You couldn't have

277
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: started with The Dark Knight. You had to have this

278
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: one to usher it in and to set it up,

279
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: and it began what other movies would try to emulate,

280
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: where if you take out all the superhero elements at

281
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: its core, it is still a good movie. Batman Begins

282
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: did that. The Dark Knight was an even better example

283
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: of that. But if you peel away the fact that

284
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: he's Batman and you just look at the story and

285
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: the characters, that on its own is a recipe for

286
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: a great movie. And it started to change the way

287
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: yet again that we thought about superhero movies, where this

288
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: was the first time that it didn't feel at all

289
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: that these movies were made for kids. It started to

290
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: become that you thought about the kid back in nineteen

291
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: eighty nine who watched that movie as a kid now

292
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: is much older and you kind of age with your fan.

293
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: This was the first time you really had that, and

294
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: now that's something we see happening a lot more. It

295
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: also set the new standard for playing Batman, which before

296
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: this it was kind of like, all right, you get

297
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: the best looking actor that you can find and you

298
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: throw them in the Batman suit. Now you really had

299
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: to have acting chops. You couldn't just be Val Kilmer

300
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: or George Clooney to give a very sometimes flat performance.

301
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: Just because of your name doesn't mean you have the

302
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: right to wear that suit. Christian Bale is a top

303
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: tier actor, a method actor, a dude who goes to

304
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: extreme links to be the characters that he portrays on

305
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: the big screen, and he gave that to Batman. Was

306
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: he the best overall Batman? No? Was he the best

307
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: Bruce Wayne? I think so. Much like Jack Nicholson did

308
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: with The Joker, Christian Bale did that with the character

309
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: of Bruce Wayne. This movie is important because you start

310
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: looking at the biggest superhero movies to fail. A lot

311
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: of those came on the DC side. A lot of

312
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: those would still come from the DC side, But when

313
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: it came to anything Christopher Nolan touched and later anything

314
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: that James Gun touched on the DC side, those proved

315
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: to be successful. And I think all of the successes

316
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 1: of those movies comes back and lands into the hands

317
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: of Batman begins. That's why I have it at number four,

318
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 1: and finally we arrive at number five. I'm going back

319
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: to two thousand and eight. It is Ironman. This movie

320
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: started the MCU. If Ironman wasn't successful, the entire MCU

321
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: just wouldn't have happened. And again, Marvel was not yet

322
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: what it is today at the time that Ironman came out.

323
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: But Kevin Figy had this plan, Let's start making these

324
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: movies that all start to interconnect. You create this synergy

325
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: among your films, and eventually we are going to build

326
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 1: up to the Avengers, which is something you said early

327
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: on at a comic con. He's like, you know, there's

328
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: a possibility we can make the Avengers. And that was

329
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: before there was any success of any of these Marvel movies,

330
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: which they were only working with the rights of the

331
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: characters they had left. Of course, we were talking about

332
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: the success of the Spider Man movies. Sony owned those rights,

333
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 1: they couldn't do anything with Spider Man. Fox owned the

334
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: rights to X Men the Fantastic Four, So this was

335
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: them trying to build their own studio. And even these

336
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: early films weren't distributed by Marvel. They had partnerships with

337
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 1: Paramount and Universal Pictures before they were the Marvel we

338
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 1: know today. And it was this movie that laid the

339
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: groundwork for the entire phase. One you had Ironman. Then

340
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 1: you had The Incredible Hulk, which didn't do as well

341
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: as they wanted to. The Incredible Hulk as a whole

342
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 1: on the big screen just hasn't been well received, and

343
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 1: I don't understand it. He is one of my top

344
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: five Marvel characters. And the fact that he doesn't have

345
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 1: a film that truly defines him that people love, oh,

346
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: that hurts me and my soul. But then you had

347
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: Iron Man two, so Captain America, the First Avenger, all

348
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 1: leading up to The Avengers in twenty twelve. But if

349
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: it wouldn't have been for the success of this movie,

350
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: none of that stuff would have mattered. This was the

351
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: movie that kickstarted a multi billion dollar success of the mcu.

352
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 1: Ironman had a budget of one hundred and forty million

353
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: dollars went on to make five hundred and eighty five

354
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: million dollars worldwide, which was a lot of money. Wasn't

355
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: quite what we know today to be the standard of

356
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: a billion dollars. But what led to the success of

357
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: that the charisma of Robert Downey Junior as iron Man,

358
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: because before him, iron Man wasn't that beloved of a character. Again,

359
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: it is Marvel dipping back into the second stringers. If

360
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 1: you look at the sale of Ironman comics before this,

361
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: it wasn't like he was a bestseller overall. Tony Stark

362
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: wasn't seen as the best guy on his own. But

363
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: then you have Robert Downey Junior playing them. That brings

364
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,360
Speaker 1: a whole new life to the character. It makes them

365
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 1: more relatable. Of course, it gives them that smugness that

366
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 1: we all grew to love him. But it truly defined

367
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: the character unlike anything we had seen before, much like

368
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: Wesley Snipes did with Blade back in nineteen ninety eight.

369
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: You see a theme here how important casting is. It

370
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: could have been Tom Cruise, which was rumored to have

371
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: been the person who was gonna be playing iron Man.

372
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: It all comes down to who you pick on these roles,

373
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: and if you look at some of the successful and

374
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,919
Speaker 1: unsuccessful superhero movies in time, a lot of times it

375
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: comes down to casting. You could say Robert Downey Junior

376
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: was one of the most successful casting stories of all time,

377
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 1: and people had doubts about him. He had gone through

378
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff, a lot of legal troubles leading

379
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 1: up to this that it was a bit of a

380
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: risk just to pick him to be Tony Stark. And

381
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: again in two thousand and eight, Marvel was still struggling.

382
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: They were working with a loan that they would get

383
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 1: to make these movies, which is how the first phase

384
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: of the MCU was funded, and they were just trying

385
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 1: to stay afloat. They were clawing, just trying to have

386
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,360
Speaker 1: something that would resonate with fans. And finally we had

387
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: that with iron Man. And it still wasn't a golden

388
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: paved road from here because they still had to set

389
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 1: up all these movies to lead up to The Avengers.

390
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 1: And even though Ironman did really well and was successful,

391
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 1: it didn't instantly make every Marvel movie you hit. I

392
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: would say it wasn't until the Avengers came out that

393
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 1: people really took notice of everything and sometimes went back

394
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: and rewatched those movies for the first time, and that

395
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: is really what I feel started it. But you wouldn't

396
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 1: have had that if it wouldn't have been for the

397
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: success of Iron Man, who was essentially the mascot for

398
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: Marvel all the way leading up to Endgame. If it

399
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been for Tony Stark, a lot of those

400
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: movies wouldn't have been as successful. And it was this

401
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 1: movie that put the idea into everybody else's heads, not

402
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 1: just DC but anybody with ip like this, that you

403
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 1: got to create your own cinematic universe. You have to

404
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 1: have why not these movies that interconnect, because the great

405
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: business model if you can get one person to see

406
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 1: one movie and then also see all these other three

407
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: four five movies leading up to another one, that is

408
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: how you create a very profitable franchise. So not only

409
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: did it impact comic book movies, but it impacted movies

410
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 1: like Fast and the Furious, all the teen dystopian novels

411
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 1: adaptations to come into twenty tens, which you also had

412
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: Harry Potter. Obviously, before this Twilight was happening around the

413
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 1: same time, but this proved how successful that could be.

414
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 1: And even now with Robert Downey Junior coming back as

415
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: Doctor Doom, the influence of this movie continues to this day.

416
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 1: That is why I have it at number five. A

417
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: couple honorable mentions. One I mentioned at the very beginning

418
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: of this episode. Superman nineteen seventy eight. Some would say

419
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: this movie created the mold. Did it really create the mold?

420
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: Or was it just the first movie? And maybe it's

421
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: because I've just never been the biggest fan of the

422
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 1: Superman character. He has always felt like quote unquote generic

423
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: superhero to me, the one everybody knows. He's a little

424
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 1: two boy, scoaled, he fly, he does all these noble things,

425
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: but he doesn't have any flaws. That's why I've always

426
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: been drawn to the Marvel characters who do have flaws,

427
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 1: who feel more like real humans that happened to have superpowers.

428
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: Superman just always felt too polish to me. And the

429
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: movies of the seventies and all the sequels that came

430
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 1: were a little bit ahead of my time, and they

431
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: are great for what they are. But when it comes

432
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: to what I enjoy about superhero characters, what I enjoy

433
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: about my comic book films. It just isn't in the

434
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,360
Speaker 1: dna of those first movies, And I feel that if

435
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 1: those movies wouldn't have happened, we still could have had

436
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,360
Speaker 1: Batman nineteen eighty nine and got to where we are

437
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: today because Superman came out in seventy eight and nothing

438
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: else really significant came out until Batman nineteen eighty nine.

439
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: So in a way, did that movie actually hurt comic

440
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: book films? Was it groundbreaking at the time to see

441
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,679
Speaker 1: Superman fly? Yeah? Was it a serious, compelling and commercially

442
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: successful movie. Yeah, But I still think we could have

443
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 1: got to where we are today without that movie. Someone

444
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: else just would have been first. First. Other honorable mention

445
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: was one I just touched on was The Avengers. The

446
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: idea of synergy. It made The Avengers a household name,

447
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: leading to other movie franchises wanting to create a team

448
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 1: of heroes, whether it be DC or whether it be

449
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: anybody else. It's that idea of making a team. The

450
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,959
Speaker 1: Avengers was Marvel's first billion dollar movie. You had all

451
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: the sequels leading up to Endgame, which is the highest

452
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:31,360
Speaker 1: grossing Marvel movie. My only thing with The Avengers is

453
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: it was a great run from twenty twelve to twenty nineteen.

454
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: But if you think about Marvel now and what they

455
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: continue to chase, is it also a bad thing what

456
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 1: they did because they had so much success with creating

457
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: all of these crossovers, all of these movies that you

458
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: have to watch, is it now kind of a hard

459
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: thing to replicate and still be chasing because it was

460
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 1: so successful and now I feel audiences have kind of

461
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: grown tired of that. You don't have people as invested

462
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: in wanting to watch every single Marvel movie, and when

463
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,959
Speaker 1: they do continue to connect, it feels like everybody has

464
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 1: to do a lot of homework in order to do so.

465
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: Even hearing that now with the new Captain America movie

466
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,239
Speaker 1: of people who didn't watch the TV show and are

467
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: a little bit lost. So by creating something so great

468
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: that they want to hold on to, is that more

469
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: now detrimental to their health? Should we get rid of

470
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 1: that altogether, throw that out the window and just create

471
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: singular movies? Will that model even work anymore? So? While

472
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 1: I do feel it is an important movie, I think

473
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,360
Speaker 1: even without the Avengers we could have still had successful

474
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 1: singular movies. The movie Landscape would have looked much different,

475
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: maybe for the best or maybe for the worst. Maybe

476
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: if we didn't have The Avengers, all the other sequels

477
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: that followed, if they didn't interconnect, wouldn't have worked. Maybe

478
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: it's just me looking back on history now and what

479
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: everything continues to be that I think, oh man, maybe

480
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 1: it was good while it lasted, but now it's hurting

481
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: us a little bit more than it should. So that

482
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: is my list, my opinion. If you have a different

483
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: opinion on one that should have been included, one that

484
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 1: shouldn't have been on this list, let me know. Hit

485
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: me up on socials at Mike Destro or you can

486
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: always email me Moviemike d at gmail dot com. Let's

487
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: get into it now. A spoiler free movie review of

488
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: Captain America Brave New World. I feel like Jim Brewer's

489
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 1: character in Half Baked, where he's like, I'm not gonna

490
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: do what everybody thinks I'm gonna do. I'm not gonna

491
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 1: freak out with any Marvel movie. The hate is gonna

492
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: be real right now. And I try to avoid any

493
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: other reviews going into any movie just because I don't

494
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 1: want to be influenced with this. When it was hard

495
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: to do. It was everywhere, and whenever a Marvel movie

496
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 1: comes out now, or even a DC movie, any superhero movie,

497
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: unless it's top tier, it's gonna get ripped to shreds.

498
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: And you always have to kind of look through all

499
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 1: the things that people are saying and are people really

500
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: mad because the movie is bad or are people just

501
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: looking for that hate for that rage clickbait. I'm here

502
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: to tell you I am not in any way good

503
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: a rage bait. In this review. I'm gonna give you

504
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: my fair, honest opinion as a Marvel fan. If you're

505
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 1: watching on YouTube, you can see behind me all of

506
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: the influence I have with every review that I do.

507
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 1: I have an Incredible Hulk comic right next to me.

508
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 1: I have the first appearance of Wolverine in a whole

509
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: comic right here behind me. I'm a huge fan of

510
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 1: the Incredible Hulk, and his portrayal on the big screen

511
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 1: just hasn't been up to expectation. And this movie was

512
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 1: using a lot of the Red Hulk and its marketing.

513
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,199
Speaker 1: If you look at the poster, the first teaser we

514
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 1: got is the Red Hulk hand holding the Captain America shield.

515
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: Just now, I just got home from the gym after

516
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 1: watching this movie, and I'm still seeing the trailer and

517
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: that's all embedded in there. It is Harrison Ford turning

518
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 1: into the Red Hulk fighting Sam Wilson, and this is

519
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 1: what that is. It is Sam Wilson's introduction as a

520
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: lead in the MCU going into this. I love what

521
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,199
Speaker 1: Anthony Mackie had to say in the press tour on

522
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: a red carpet. Somebody asked him and he said, this

523
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 1: feels amazing to me because it is the first time

524
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: audiences are going to see my movie, not just his

525
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: first movie in the MCU, but him as an actor.

526
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:26,919
Speaker 1: That is a big deal. As I was rooting for

527
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 1: Anthony Mackie, as I was rooting for the Incredible Hulk

528
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: Red Hulk in this there were a lot of problems.

529
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 1: There were a lot of things that this movie drew

530
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: influence from and drew inspiration from. That was kind of

531
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: like picking off the good pieces of something you burned

532
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: in the oven, like, oh no, I could still manage it.

533
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: I could still make a meal out of this. Let

534
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: me pick off some things from two thousand and eighth

535
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 1: Incredible Holk, which I love, but a lot of people

536
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: hate that movie. I will defend that movie as being

537
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: a great Marvel movie, But I don't think you should

538
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: be going back to that movie to pick apart the

539
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: pieces from it to sell your new Captain America. That's

540
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: what they did. You have Thunderbolt Ross from that movie.

541
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 1: Now the actor who played him in that original movie

542
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: has passed away, so they recast them with Harrison Ford.

543
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: There's a lot of disconnect there because in order to

544
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: get his whole story arc, you have to know that movie.

545
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: Otherwise they don't really do a good job in selling

546
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: you what is going on with his character. And not

547
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: only that, they go to one of the worst Marvel

548
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 1: movies of all time, I would say the worst ever,

549
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: The Eternals, and they pick apart the little piece that

550
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: we were all asking about the end of the Eternals.

551
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: This it's like this big white thing in the middle

552
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: of the ocean, and then we haven't talked about it since.

553
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 1: You know what, Let's pull apart that little bird piece

554
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: and put it in this movie. And what is going

555
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: on here? It is still Sam Wilson struggling with can

556
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: I be Captain America without have taken the serum Do

557
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: I have what it takes? The themes we already kind

558
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: of discussed and went over in the Disney Plus show

559
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 1: are still at the forefront of this movie, which I

560
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: found to be weird. We've already been there. I just

561
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: want to see you being Captain America. I don't want

562
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: to see you questioning it anymore. Like, just put on

563
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: the suit and do the thing, because that is a

564
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: hero we need. The other really hard part about getting

565
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: over the marketing of this movie. In that trailer, it

566
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: is Thunderbolt Ross telling them I want you to rebuild

567
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: the Avengers, and he's like, all right, let's rebuild the Avengers.

568
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be them working together. Then something goes

569
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: down where his inner circle has been compromised, and all

570
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: of a sudden, somebody tries to kill the president, and

571
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 1: now he doesn't see eye to eye with Captain America

572
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 1: anymore so doing the Captain America thing. He wants to

573
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: do what is right. Even though the US government doesn't

574
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: want him a part of this. He is still going

575
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: to lead this investigation and try to figure out who

576
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: was pulling the strings here, who was behind this attack,

577
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: and who is trying to stop Thunderbolt Ross's plan of

578
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: signing this treaty to make them look like a good president.

579
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: That is essentially the plot of this movie. I won't

580
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: get into any other details because I don't want to

581
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: reveal too much about what exactly happens. But there was

582
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: so little action in this movie that it made it

583
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: hard to watch. And not only that the action there was,

584
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: it was very slow. The choreography just isn't there. The

585
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: Captain America movies, out of all the MCU movies, always

586
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: had the best action. That was their bread and butter,

587
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: Quick fast paced action, amazing fights, shootouts, chases. That is

588
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: what I went to Captain America for. Think back to

589
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: Chris Evans running barefoot down the street. Those are the

590
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: moments I think about. Not only were they great superhero movies,

591
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: but they were great crime thrillers. And the biggest problem

592
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: I had with Brave New World is it's just uninteresting.

593
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: It doesn't get your heart rate up. There's no Marvel magic.

594
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: It's not a bad movie, it's just why is this

595
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: happening right now? Why are we trying to rehash all

596
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: this old stuff? And why don't I believe in Sam

597
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: Wilson as a superhero? And I found myself to be

598
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 1: entertained for the most part, but nothing really exciting happened.

599
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: And when you think about it, was like the Captain

600
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: America Shield is a bigger star than Anthony Mackie is

601
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: right now as Captain America, so much so that I

602
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: found myself just questioning all these minor details because of

603
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: how uninteresting the plotline was. It was not only cliched

604
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: for a Marvel movie, it was just riddled with cliches

605
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 1: from every Spice thriller that has come out in the

606
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: last five years, and all of the superhero elements were

607
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,239
Speaker 1: just kind of sprinkled in there and everything that they

608
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: teased and the trailer, all the marketing. Not only was

609
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: that pushed all the way to the third act, a

610
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: lot of it was the last ten minutes before the

611
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: ten minute epilogue. That was it. That's all you got.

612
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: So it kind of felt like a bait and switch,

613
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: and it was Marvel to me, felt like they knew

614
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: what they had, They knew they didn't have a whole lot,

615
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: so let's sell what is coming at the end of

616
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: it and just get the butts into seats, and that's

617
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: what they did. They made one hundred million dollars over

618
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,959
Speaker 1: President's Day weekend, They got the butts in the seats.

619
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: They will break even on this movie probably and it

620
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: will do what it needs to do to advance the

621
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: MCU right now. But it's just leaving a lot of

622
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,959
Speaker 1: people feeling ugh, kind of underwhelmed, and I think that

623
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: is what has led to such poor reviews from audiences. Again,

624
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: it's not that it's all out terrible, it's just that

625
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: we've come to expect a lot from the MCU. We've

626
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: come to expect a nice tailored suit, and what we

627
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: got out of this movie was something straight off the

628
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: racket Zaras And if we have to keep going back

629
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: talking about that, the visual effects aren't there, What are

630
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: we doing here? This movie costs two hundred million plus.

631
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: But God'szilla minus one, with the budget of about fifteen

632
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: million dollars had much better action sequences at sea than

633
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: this movie did. It was more believable. So they need

634
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: to just find a different way to make these movies

635
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: look more appealing. That should be basic, be day one. Things.

636
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: We should not be questioning a movie with this budget

637
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: of it having CGI anymore. And there was a scene

638
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 1: in particular that happened towards the end of the movie

639
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 1: where you see Harrison Ford and you see Sam Wilson

640
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: standing there and it just looked like a big green

641
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: or blue screen that they were looking at. There was

642
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 1: it was like two dimensional, no depth whatsoever, and it

643
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: makes the scenes just not connect. There's nothing there. You

644
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 1: don't get a performance out of them because they're just

645
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 1: obviously standing in front of this blue or green screen

646
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: and there's no connection. There's no emotion, and a movie

647
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:42,280
Speaker 1: like this needs that. I never felt invested in Sam's story.

648
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: I never believed him as Captain America. At times, I

649
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: felt I could probably beat him up, and I can't

650
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 1: beat up many people. I was so uninterested with the plot.

651
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: At a certain point, I found myself questioning what shoes

652
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: he was wearing. I was so upset about the shoes

653
00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: Sam Wilson was wearing that I was like Captain America.

654
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: I wouldn't wear those shoes, those elevated, cool, expensive sneakers

655
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 1: like he would wear those. He would always be ready

656
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: to go have to chase somebody down if we needed to.

657
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: He couldn't do that in that bomber jacket and those shoes.

658
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 1: It is unbelievable to me, and his character is so

659
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 1: reliant on the technology of the suit. And maybe that's

660
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: another thing I'm kind of getting tired of in the

661
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: MCU is the stark influence that all the suits have

662
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: this technology where they don't have superpowers, they have super technology.

663
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: All the people with superpowers have kind of gone on.

664
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 1: We don't have those people anymore. It almost feels like

665
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 1: all the seniors have graduated and now we're left with

666
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: that freshman class that are still trying to push this narrative.

667
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 1: But they're still talking about their acts, still talking about

668
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,320
Speaker 1: the person who saved the world and questioning whether or

669
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 1: not they can do that. Just forget about your ex

670
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: stop talking about them, and move on and show me

671
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 1: why you can save the world. The question comes down

672
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: to do you need superpowers to be a hero. That

673
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: is what this movie is trying to say. Did we

674
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 1: need a two hour movie to say that. I don't

675
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 1: think so. I think we got that in the series

676
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 1: before this. There's nothing really brave. There's nothing new about

677
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: Brave New World. It just feels like a bunch of

678
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: rehashed plotlines slapped together. At times, it feels like I

679
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 1: was watching one of the parody movies that they do

680
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 1: on the Boys, the TV show. Whenever they're making their

681
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 1: superhero movies, it kind of felt like watching one of those.

682
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: We still have a lot of villain problems. This entire

683
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 1: movie just kind of felt like a two hour post

684
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: credit scene. If you look at kind of the pattern

685
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: that we have in the MCU, it's the MCU is

686
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 1: back dead, Pull a Wolverine. Next movie comes out, Brave

687
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 1: New World. Ah, the MCU is dead. But then before this,

688
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: the trailer for Fantastic four played, and we're gonna say

689
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 1: the same thing again. The M two was back. So

690
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: maybe they're just doing this pattern of good movie, mediocre movie.

691
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 1: Good movie, mediocre movie. And I think it's just that

692
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: my standards and all of our standards have become so

693
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: high and expecting every movie to be great, expecting every

694
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 1: movie to be the level of The Avengers. With all

695
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: that said, again, I was entertained enough, but I was

696
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: also irritated a little bit at what this movie could

697
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 1: have been. Am I excited to see more of Captain America?

698
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 1: Not really, not really at all. It was more of

699
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,800
Speaker 1: a Thunderbolt Ross movie than it was a Captain America movie.

700
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,839
Speaker 1: I think if they can get that down right, give

701
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: Sam some confidence. Now, maybe they could do it in

702
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 1: a second movie before Captain America Brave New World. I

703
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: give it three out of five shields. It's time to

704
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:34,320
Speaker 1: head down to movie Mike trailer, Paul, Is it possible

705
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: to like something even though you know it's not gonna

706
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: be that good? Now, that's kind of how I feel

707
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 1: about Jurassic World rebirth. We've all been waiting for a

708
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: glimpse of this. There have been a lot of rumors

709
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: about Jurassic World and it was gonna be R rated.

710
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: It's not R rated. After seeing this trailer, though, I

711
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 1: kind of wish it was R rated because the weird

712
00:37:55,920 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: thing about Jurassic World is this feel like a reboot

713
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 1: of the reboot, which we had the reboot with Jurassic

714
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 1: World back in twenty fifteen with Chris Pratt. It was

715
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 1: a reboot of the original Jurassic Park that we grew

716
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,919
Speaker 1: up with, one of the best, not only sci fi

717
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 1: movies of all time, one of the best movies of

718
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 1: the nineties, spawned a fantastic franchise that got rebooted in

719
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, So a long time in between the last

720
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 1: Jurassic Park movie from that franchise until the end, it

721
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 1: felt like very big and impactful. But now, about ten

722
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 1: years after they rebooted it the first time in twenty fifteen,

723
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, we're getting another reboot. And the thing

724
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: I feel about this trailer after watching it is they

725
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 1: are trying to make it seem so different but also

726
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,479
Speaker 1: so connected to that one and to the original one,

727
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: that they are almost trying too hard. I almost feel

728
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: that I hope that this movie didn't have any DNA

729
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 1: of what we've seen before it, and it's kind of

730
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 1: using that same formula. And while I'm looking at this

731
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 1: trailer and thinking, I don't think this is gonna be good,

732
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 1: I don't really think it's gonna be bad, but I

733
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna be the quote unquote rebirth that

734
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:12,359
Speaker 1: we were looking for that I think this franchise needed this.

735
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 1: I can feel that is already gonna be one of

736
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: those movies you go to the theaters to watch. It's fine,

737
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 1: probably appeals to a mass amount of people, which is

738
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 1: what they go for in these Jurassic Park movies now,

739
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,280
Speaker 1: But I feel as soon as I leave that theater

740
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: and as soon as I record the review for that movie,

741
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna think about it again. And that's a

742
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 1: bit of a bummer. Now with Jurassic World dominion that

743
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 1: we just had most recently, that movie left a bad

744
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 1: taste in my mouth. And that movie banked on a

745
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: lot of nostalgia bringing back the original cast member at

746
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 1: least most of them, to say Okay, they're coming back.

747
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,760
Speaker 1: That felt like an event, and that movie fell flat.

748
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 1: This movie feels like, Okay, we're getting rid of all

749
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 1: those people, we're not connecting it anymore, but we're still

750
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,800
Speaker 1: gonna have a little bit of remnants holding onto things

751
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: that I don't think then to hold on to anymore.

752
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: Let's move past it. I don't need to see the

753
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 1: Jurassic World banner anymore. I don't need references to all

754
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 1: the initial experiments, to Park gone wrong, all that. Just

755
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 1: get away from it entirely and bring us something new.

756
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: And I feel that way on the one end, But

757
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: then on the other end, I watched this trailer. I'm

758
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 1: like dinosaurs running around and attacking people. That's awesome. So

759
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: just from a pure lover of summer blockbusters, this is

760
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,359
Speaker 1: a movie I'm gonna go watch and I'm gonna enjoy it.

761
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 1: But as somebody who wants to see a franchise that

762
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: has kind of been beaten the crab at this point,

763
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 1: Have something new, have something fresh. It's just not doing

764
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: it for me on all those levels. It's just not

765
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: quite what I was expecting it to be. It's almost

766
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: like when your parents say, I'm not mad at you,

767
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: I'm disappointed. That's kind of how I feel about this.

768
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 1: I'm not thinking this is gonna be an awful movie,

769
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 1: but I just wanted something different. It just kind of

770
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 1: feels like it's gonna be a very fast action type movie.

771
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: That being said, get into the trailers talk about what

772
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: is going on here. Before I get into more of

773
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 1: my love and grievances with this trailer, here's just a

774
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: little bit of Jurassic World rebirth. This island was the

775
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:20,280
Speaker 1: research facility for the original Jurassic Park. We need DNA

776
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 1: from the three biggest dinosaurs. Do we have to get

777
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: a sample from an egg? These dinosaurs we're too dangerous

778
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:36,399
Speaker 1: for the original park, The worst of the worst. We're

779
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 1: left here. Come doggad. So what it looks like is

780
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 1: happening in this movie. You still have some dinosaurs that

781
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 1: are living in this very remote island. We've seen that

782
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:57,360
Speaker 1: time and time again. And these creatures, specifically three different creatures,

783
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 1: hold the key to a potentially saving drug. So you

784
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 1: have Scarlett Johansson teaming up with some other scientists, some

785
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 1: other nerds. I love me a good scientist, nerd that

786
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 1: knows a lot about dinosaurs. That is why we love

787
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 1: these movies. She takes them there and they have to

788
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 1: get not one, not two, but three samples from three

789
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:19,839
Speaker 1: different dinosaurs. I can already see this movie playing out

790
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,279
Speaker 1: on my head of like, the first one, oh man,

791
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 1: how are we gonna get this one? They get it.

792
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 1: Second one is a little bit harder, maybe they fail

793
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,839
Speaker 1: a little bit, and they try again. Then they get

794
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,280
Speaker 1: the second one, and then the third one is gonna

795
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,319
Speaker 1: be the Big Boy, the one we all come to see.

796
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 1: It's gonna be the t Rex, because how is it not?

797
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: Really the reason we go to these movies is to

798
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 1: see the raptors, which get referenced in this trailer that

799
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: I just played you, and we go for the t Rex,

800
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 1: the big logo on every single Jurassic Park movie. That

801
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:51,280
Speaker 1: is the big Boy. That is the big one that draws,

802
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 1: that is the star. That is the one we go

803
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 1: to to see. So. Scarlett Johansson plays a character named

804
00:42:56,239 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 1: Zora Bennett. She's a covert operations expert. Essentially, she is

805
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 1: black widow but for dinosaurs. You see her in this

806
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 1: trailer scaling mountains, telling them she can take them there

807
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 1: and can guarantee their safety. That is what she is

808
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 1: to this group of scientists. You'll say, have maherschel Ali.

809
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 1: The problem I have after watching this trailer is the

810
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 1: dialogue feels so bad. It feels like I'm playing a

811
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:25,319
Speaker 1: Jurassic Park video game and this is the dialogue, and

812
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 1: not even a modern video game. I'm talking about a

813
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,439
Speaker 1: video game from the two thousands where their lips don't

814
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,439
Speaker 1: quite match up with what they are saying. I'm talking

815
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:37,359
Speaker 1: about graphics where the guys are basically these big three

816
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,799
Speaker 1: D polygons and there's not a lot going on there.

817
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 1: That is how I feel about this dialogue. It feels

818
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 1: very cheesy, formulaic, almost AI generated at times, so much

819
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 1: so I pull three examples of the three worst lines

820
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 1: of dialogue just from this trailer. Here is bad line

821
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 1: number one. Can you do ready tomorrow? I can guarantee

822
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 1: your safety, I mean more or less, more or less

823
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:03,240
Speaker 1: What is that I guarantee your safety more or less.

824
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 1: It's so tongue in cheek and like, ah, like if

825
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: your grandma on Facebook writing this dialogue, that's bad line

826
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:13,359
Speaker 1: number one. Here's bad line number two. No one's dumb

827
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,720
Speaker 1: enough to go where we're going, Like just by saying,

828
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:17,719
Speaker 1: why do you need to say that? In the trailer,

829
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 1: no one's dumb enough to go where we are going.

830
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 1: We're just the ragtag group of individuals go and chase

831
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:28,360
Speaker 1: the dinosaurs. It just feels like they are over explaining everything.

832
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 1: And finally, here is bad line number three. They're helping

833
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 1: the mostazor defend territory, stalk hunt. None of what you

834
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:39,840
Speaker 1: just said is good that line from Scarlett Johansson all

835
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 1: over dialogue in this trailer, it feels very much what

836
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:47,280
Speaker 1: people hate on superhero movies for being that type of humor.

837
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: They are one step away from saying, oh no, the

838
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 1: dinosaur's right behind me, isn't it so? Overall, when it

839
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 1: comes to the DNA of this movie, I just feel

840
00:44:56,960 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 1: like it has very weak bones. That being said, the

841
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 1: movie itself, the way it looks and the way it's

842
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 1: shot in this trailer, I actually enjoy it feels like

843
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 1: a movie that demands the big screen in the summer. Again,

844
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 1: it's coming out on July second. Any Jurassic Park movie

845
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 1: just has that summer blockbuster feel to me. I still

846
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: get that vibe from this Jurassic Park movies now, to

847
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 1: me are starting to feel more like the Fast and

848
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 1: the Furious movies. And maybe it's a universal thing. There

849
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 1: was a period of time where they were saying, it's

850
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 1: not out of the realm, the possibility that we could

851
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: combine these two franchises, and based upon the ending and

852
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 1: the dialogue I'm seeing in this trailer, I feel like

853
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 1: they're actually not too far off from that. It seemed

854
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 1: like a crazy idea at the time, but I'm kind

855
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 1: of hoping for some bloodshed. I'm even at the point

856
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,359
Speaker 1: where I'm kind of rooting for the dinosaurs take out

857
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 1: a few humans. There are moments, especially in Jurassic Park

858
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 1: Lost World, where the dinosaurs would actually kill humans that

859
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:57,719
Speaker 1: those are the most memorable for me. Sometimes I root

860
00:45:57,719 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: for villains and movies when it comes to the Dress

861
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 1: Park movie, especially right now, I am rooting for the dinosaurs.

862
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 1: Dinosaurs doing nothing wrong, They're just living their life. It's

863
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:08,839
Speaker 1: the crazy scientists who brought them back to life. Now

864
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 1: they have to deal with it. But going back to

865
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:16,399
Speaker 1: that dialogue of them even explaining that this is the

866
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:19,359
Speaker 1: island that they sent all the dinosaurs that weren't cut

867
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:23,919
Speaker 1: out to be in the theme parks, that really makes

868
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 1: no sense to me, because we're any of the dinosaurs

869
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:29,359
Speaker 1: that were in the theme park really supposed to be there,

870
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 1: because we all saw what happened. It all went to

871
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:35,280
Speaker 1: hell in a handbasket. There was total mayhem. You shouldn't

872
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,919
Speaker 1: have had a t rex in a theme park. That

873
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 1: animal species was not cut out to be in a

874
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:43,760
Speaker 1: theme park. They're trying to make it seem like, oh,

875
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 1: we're gonna be really up against something we've never been

876
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,799
Speaker 1: up against before on this island because these are the

877
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:55,279
Speaker 1: rejects on the rejects. All these dinosaurs are hardcore. I

878
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:59,239
Speaker 1: do think the addition of the underwater dinosaurs is pretty cool.

879
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 1: Whenever they're in the boat towards the end of this

880
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 1: trailer and you see all of the dinosaurs swimming towards them,

881
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:07,279
Speaker 1: that is a part where I'm like, how are they

882
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 1: going to get out of that one? Because those dinosaurs

883
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 1: are massive and that boat looks so tiny and The

884
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 1: big question I asked myself is does this feel like

885
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 1: a billion dollar movie? Because pretty much every single Jurassic

886
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 1: Park movie has made a billion dollars. The first one

887
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 1: back in ninety three one point one billion with a

888
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:27,839
Speaker 1: sixty three million dollar budget, which is astonishing. Jurassic Park

889
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:31,240
Speaker 1: The Lost World didn't quite make it. I think people

890
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 1: didn't give this movie a chance. Made six hundred and

891
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 1: eighteen million dollars. Then they kept going down. Jurassic Park

892
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:39,319
Speaker 1: three three hundred and sixty nine. That's probably what they

893
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:41,439
Speaker 1: stopped making these for a while. They stopped becoming as

894
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 1: profitable as that first one. But Jurassic World in twenty

895
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 1: fifteen one point sixty seven billion, We're back Baby Fallen

896
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 1: Kingdom one point three one billion. Even Dominions still crossed

897
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:56,399
Speaker 1: that one billion dollar mark, just barely, just barely, kind

898
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:59,319
Speaker 1: of lipped across that finish line. But that was with

899
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:01,759
Speaker 1: the budget of a hundred and eighty five million, And

900
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 1: if we're looking at the budget of Jurassic World Rebirth,

901
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 1: it is the most expensive one at two hundred and

902
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:12,239
Speaker 1: sixty five million dollars. This trailer does not look like

903
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:15,360
Speaker 1: a two hundred and sixty five million dollar budget movie,

904
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:18,360
Speaker 1: and it does not feel to me like it is

905
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:20,840
Speaker 1: going to be a billion dollar movie. It looks like

906
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna be fun, but it kind of looks like

907
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna be forgettable. Doesn't scream to me like it's

908
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:28,879
Speaker 1: gonna give audiences a reason to go back to the

909
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 1: theater to watch this, because there's not enough time that

910
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: it's passed to make people feel like, oh, this is

911
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 1: something new. It's gonna feel like a continuation of that.

912
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:39,919
Speaker 1: Even the name of it Jurassic World Rebirth, it still

913
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 1: has the world, which they kind of changed a little

914
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:44,840
Speaker 1: bit from calling it a Jurassic Park to calling it

915
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 1: Jurassic World, making it feel bigger. Don't come back to

916
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:51,319
Speaker 1: me until it's Jurassic World outer space. We just need

917
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 1: to go a step further, put them in space, or

918
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 1: even do a movie like Planet of the Apes, but

919
00:48:57,120 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 1: with dinosaurs, where the dinosaurs become sophistic catered and smart.

920
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:03,880
Speaker 1: They're speaking English to each other, and it is the

921
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 1: humans who are the minority. Could you imagine a dinosaur

922
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 1: like a raptor, capturing a human and then putting them

923
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 1: in an amusement park. That is the movie I want

924
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:14,319
Speaker 1: to see. I want to see a human escaping the

925
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 1: park and then all the dinosaurs freak out, like the

926
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 1: human is loose, it's gonna kill us. It has opposable thumbs.

927
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 1: They grab that gun, put that gun down. Human. That

928
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 1: is the movie I want to see. That would have

929
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:28,359
Speaker 1: been Jurassic World Rebirth. But again, this movie is coming

930
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:32,319
Speaker 1: out on July second. I'm still going to watch it.

931
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 1: I'm still gonna enjoy it, but I'm just not as

932
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:38,719
Speaker 1: excited about it. And that was this week's edition of

933
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:42,359
Speaker 1: Movie min Framer par and that is gonna do it

934
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 1: for another episode here of the podcast. But before I go,

935
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 1: I gotta give my listeners shout out of the week

936
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 1: this week. I'm going over to tic Tac and it's

937
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:53,879
Speaker 1: a comment from one of my last posts from last

938
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 1: week's episode, where Kelsey and I talked about Harry Potter.

939
00:49:57,200 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 1: I reranked all of the movies and we got into

940
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 1: a debate over a death in Harry Potter that I

941
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 1: thought was overrated, and maybe I picked the one comment

942
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 1: that actually agreed with me, because man, people let me

943
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 1: have it online last week. So I'm shouting out Henry

944
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:16,280
Speaker 1: Ochoa on TikTok, who said Dobby's death was way sadder

945
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 1: in my opinion, than Dumbledore exactly, Henry, That's what I

946
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 1: was saying, And later in that episode I did say

947
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 1: that that is the death that affected me the most,

948
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 1: poor Dobby, because I feel like Dobby was good the

949
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,799
Speaker 1: entire time. Dumbledore was always like, oh, I forgot to

950
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 1: tell you, Harry. Oh I forgot to tell you this, Harry.

951
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:37,359
Speaker 1: That's right, I haven't told you. Dumbledore was withholding all

952
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 1: this information. Dumbledore kind of set up Harry Potter. So

953
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 1: maybe that's the reason why his death wasn't as impactful

954
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 1: to me. I'd go Dobby and then I'd probably go

955
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:50,400
Speaker 1: Snape after that, But still Dumbledore's death not that memorable.

956
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:52,400
Speaker 1: If you missed that episode, just go back one in

957
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:54,279
Speaker 1: the feed, and if you miss let me have it

958
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 1: on Instagram, TikTok or Facebook or YouTube. Go comment over

959
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:00,880
Speaker 1: there and maybe I'll pick you in next week's Listener

00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:03,360
