I feel the practical effects lent a certain amount of gravitas to the movie.<br /><br />I read your post on those Jackie Chan movies and made me wish I wasn't heads down on a deadline right now so I could do a Jackie deep dive on his older movies.Simon MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14749383583517044214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294499213897153104.post-17920377851933955182019-02-23T02:15:38.538-06:002019-02-23T02:15:38.538-06:00Well, certainly by the time you hit Infinity War, ...Well, certainly by the time you hit Infinity War, the movie is 75% CGI. But I agree that there's something really cool about real-world visuals paired with our superheroes. Once they're wandering around Titan, it's still enjoyable, but it loses the feeling of possibility. I also just watched two Jackie Chan films, so I may be on a high for what IS possible in film if they stick to practical effects right now.The Leaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836241071795980225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294499213897153104.post-55401208635361534782019-02-23T00:56:54.219-06:002019-02-23T00:56:54.219-06:00My favourite Marvel movie and go to movie when stu...My favourite Marvel movie and go to movie when stuck on long plane rides. It never feels old to me. There is so much to love in this flick.<br /><br />By the way, Batroc was played by UFC fighter and fellow Canadian, Georges St. Pierre. Georges retired from fighting on Feb 21st of this year. I absolutely loved the fight between Batroc and Cap as it seemed to be all practical effects. Honestly, that's one of my favourite things about this movie is there are a lot of practical effects and CGI is used more sparingly then most super hero slugfests.Simon MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14749383583517044214noreply@blogger.com
