End Game isn't even the best Marvel movie.

Goodfellas might be a top 20 movie of all time regardless of genre.

Seen trailers for all 3 unfortunately.

And Arteta should be gone by then lmfao. Marvel saving cinema and Christmas at the same time . martin scorsese in the mud, It’s time for him to stop yelling at clouds lol.


Eternals looked dull at first in the teaser but their latest trailer is pretty fire, I think its going to be a good one.

Yeah I was Unimpressed by the first Eternals trailer. I know its me saying this and I am probably the biggest comic book geek of all time , but I never much cared for The them in the comics tbf. Not back in the day, anyway. But I haven't read the latest iteration though . My cousin use to like them though Image Image. But Marvel don't often put a foot wrong, so fingers crossed.

Avengers: Infinity War Is close but End Game was just too good though. Goodfellas is in my top 40 but not top 20. Preferred Godfather tbf.

I think Iron Man and Infinity War are both better.

It's amazing that Iron Man kicked off the MCU, they perfected the formula in their first attempt and right from the get go it's clear no one will ever embody a superhero better than Robert Downey Jr.

I think Godfather 1 and 2 are both better than Goodfellas.

The Godfather is the greatest American mainstream movie of all time. No questions asked. Screenplay, cinematography, editing aside, the way Marlon Brando obliterated everyone with his performance... When you think of the Godfather, you think of Brando. And, it's not even his finest performance.

The Godfather has two sequels but when you hear or read about it, all you do is imagine Vito Andolini Corleone as eulogized by the one, Marlon Brando.

How are you gonna have a Great Value Morpheus instead of bringing Laurence Fishburne back? For shame.

In the midst of watching the DC universe films in order which I've never done before.

Up to justice league. Should I watch 2017 version or Snyder cut?

Not going to lie that looks poor, like its substituted story telling and intrigue that the original had for just special effects and action rather than using it to serve the story.

Can't say I'm suprised.

Goodfellas > Marvel tbh


The two genres are so different you can't even really compare them.

Depends what I'm in the mood for but as a statement I disagree.

Both are top quality in their own genre.

Blasphemy. The story of the first Matrix is amazing. It's a classic even without the fact that it revolutionized action movies at the time.

In all honesty I would have preferred an entire new cast and a brand new plot. Mainly because I don't really rate Keanu Reeves as an actor and while he was serviceable as a completely clueless guy who's supposed to be green, I'm not sure he has the depth to deliver as this older Neo.

The entire thing feels like a reboot where we're going to have the same exact same storyline of the first movie - Neo is clueless again and has to go through the same process of having an awakening and becoming "the one" but this time It's filled with Easter eggs from the first movie.

Let's be real It's nothing but a cashgrab but I'd rather have this than nothing I guess.

My personal opinion is that Al Pacino's performance in The Godfather was very close to Brando's. But Brando was absolutely superb.

Also some great performances from James Caan and Robert Duvall.

My favourite film ever. By some way.

I thought De Niro's performance as young Vito was better than Al's.

He had the almost impossible task of interpreting Brando's performance as Don Corleone and translating it to a younger version and he did it perfectly.
