Video explains why Marvel cinematic universe films can sometimes be ugly!!

There is no doubt about it that we all absolutely love the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It's undeniably one of the most impressive achievements in the history of blockbuster filmmaking. That being said, it's not perfect -- particularly when it comes to the visuals. A new video has just hit the web explaining why so many Marvel films look so drab, and it's seriously eye opening. Check it out below for yourself click link!
That video perfectly articulates the main issues that we have with the visuals time and time again in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Although the visual effects in most Marvel movies look amazing, the ugly color grading has a tendency to overshadow beautifully executed cinematography and CGI. The issue first appeared all the way back during Phase 1, when Marvel switched from film to digital technology to shoot its movies. Starting with Captain America: The First Avenger, and continuing all the way until today, Marvel's movies have a lack of "proper black value" which creates a notable lack of contrast, thus flattening and dulling the visuals.
These problems don't necessarily extend from issues with hardware. As the video astutely points out, many recent films have used the same technology as Marvel films -- such as Mad Max: Fury Road, and Skyfall -- and they turned out beautifully. The issue really lies in how the studio treats the film once the footage is in the can. Marvel Studios uses a relatively uniform system for coloring its films, and the negative effect has become increasingly noticeable.
It's not even that difficult to fix some of the major issues that have plagued Marvel movies in recent years. Check out an example of a fixed frame from James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy below to see what a Marvel film could look like if the studio paid more attention to color in post-production.
At the end of the day, however, we have to acknowledge that these complaints are purely subjective. Although many people have voiced concern over the quality of color in Marvel films, plenty of others absolutely love the visuals in movies like Captain America: Civil War, Ant-Man, and Thor: The Dark World. It's simply a matter of preference. There's also the fact that Doctor Strange seems to mark a step away from drab coloration, which means Marvel may have already realized that this represents an issue worth fixing. Let's keep our fingers crossed that such a trend continues.
What are your thoughts? Do you like the visuals in Marvel's movies, or do you think the color needs work? Let us know what you think in the comments section below to keep this conversation going! #CAF #MsaNewsandViews

Paul Thomas Anderson Week: 'There Will Be Blood' Review!

Image
• There Will Be Blood, 2007 • 8.2/10 • Firstly, I would like to start with Daniel Day Lewis' mesmerizing performance as the ruthless oil prospector, Daniel Plainview. The scumbag cons local landowners into selling their valuable land for pittance, and then he comes along like a "straw" and "sucks it all up," leaving him very wealthy and everyone else in his way. Paul Dano, Wow, do you really expect anything less than magic when it comes to him acting, he's a true tour de force. I wish we had preachers like Eli Sunday up at my local church. Johnny Greenwood's score is brilliant, it really gets under your skin, you then combine that with the gorgeous cinematography, smart screenplay and the brilliant acting, you then have yourself a film where even if your not paying complete attention, you will still hate the lead by the end, all the same! Yeah, I did just say that. I'm sorry peeps but it got a little boring at times (it didn't keep me hook...

Some funny news as Seth Rogen criticises Sony on Twitter!

Image
Seth Rogen has criticised a new Sony Pictures initiative to make family friendly versions of its films available to viewers. Sony’s Clean Version initiative allows home entertainment customers to purchase films that have been edited for broadcast television and in-flight entertainment systems. Under the scheme, “scenes of graphic violence, offensive language, sexual innuendo and other adult content” will be censored or removed from some PG-13 and R-rated movies. So far, “clean versions” of 24 films, including Captain Phillips, Step Brothers and the Spider-Man movies, have been made available to purchase. Rogen criticised the initiative on Twitter : “Holy shit please don’t do this to our movies. Thanks.” Holy shit please don't do this to our movies. Thanks. https://t.co/0lpoESaIQd — Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) 6 June 2017 The actor, who has made adult-themed comedies such as Knocked Up , This Is The End and Sausage Party (don't forget the legendary Pineapple Expre...

'Tomb Raider' Review: First Successful Game Adaptation! Kudos!

Image
• Tomb Raider, 2018 • 7.9/10 • Alicia Vikander gives Lara depth and personality much like Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones. She's vulnerable, but she's also stubborn and focused to survive on her own and has never lost hope that she'll once again see her father. The story is built on the reboot of the video game series, but takes another way after the arrival at the destination where most of the action takes place. When the story follows the video game it has weaknesses (as so many games adaptations do), but when it stands on its own, it shows glimpses of coming adventures for Lara Croft that makes you want more -- much because of Vikanders grounded performance. The script is by no means perfect, the CGI was a bit spotty in places, and yes there are a few cliches and overused story devices here and there, but overall it is an enjoyable film and our first successful game adaptation! Yesss! P.S - Dominc West was the perfect choice for Mr. Croft!
