As someone who had absolutely no nostalgia for any old Spider-Man movies and dreaded what it would be after hearing all the rumors and leaks, I loved No Way Home because it didn’t simply rely on cameos happening and actually allowed the decisions of its main character to drive every plot turn, ending that character in a significantly different place than he started. The crossover characters actually have influence on the main character and play a part beyond just “Hey I know him!”. Sure there are things to nitpick, but I’ve never seen a blockbuster movie without things to nitpick. Nobody has to enjoy anything, but to tell people they’re wrong for liking something, stuck in the moment, and failing to view critically beyond theater experience is just unfair.

I think it’ll hold pretty well second weekend. I’m waiting to see it because my friends wanted a triple feature weekend with Barbenheimer. I’m sure some others are doing the same.

This was enjoyable and I liked the cast a lot, but I figured out who did it the moment the victim was revealed, and nothing the rest of the film presented even slightly made me waver. MOTOE had a nice surprise revelation, but this was just way too telegraphed. And yeah, the first half was SLOW. The tomb scene could have been cut out completely.

Really tried to enjoy this, but it was hard to appreciate Stewart’s performance when I had to listen to the 60 year old couple behind me struggle to keep it in their pants. No, that’s not a typo.

Ridley, people aren’t paying $10 a person in this economy/pandemic to “learn something”. Money’s tight, most people are gonna use their entertainment budget for a bit of fun escapism. This isn’t a totally new phenomenon either. Hell, Blade Runner flopped 40 years ago, how has he not learned this by now? If you’re really focused on making sure your art is seen, go the streaming route. Very easy way to reach an audience. But with a wide theatrical release, the primary goal is making as much money as possible, and you need to be widely appealing enough to get enough people to dish out for it. Is it ideal? No. But that’s the way it is, and whining won’t change anything. For what it’s worth, I saw this movie with my Stubs A-List and it’s one of my favorites of the year. But I’m not even a little bit surprised it flopped, and it’s simply naive to have thought it wouldn’t.

Lmao when they address every single one of these in the first minute of the new trailer This looks gorgeous, and the plot seems to have an epic feel to it. This and Shang-Chi both looked like risks on paper, so I’m delighted to see they both look like they’re gonna pay off!

For what it’s worth, Lucy was a pretty nice-sized hit back in 2014. Sure, that’s seven years ago and not at all an argument that she’s on the same level as the Rock, but she has shown her name can draw outside of Black Widow, at least more than other MCU actors have.

I think $90 is more realistic than $90million.

I did and still can’t wrap my brain around any way that Killmonger would time travel or go multiverse hopping. The multiverse opens a ton of MCU story possibilities, but there still needs to be a level of believability to its use. And when did Jon Watts say that? Not doubting you, just curious to read the full story and couldn’t find it by Googling.

I'm having a really hard time grasping the concept of a potential Killmonger return. Like how would it happen? We saw him physically die. There's been nothing to suggest Wakanda can revive the dead, and if they could, I'd imagine he's way behind T'Challa, T'Chaka, or Zuri on the waiting list. He's not a robot like Vision that can be rebooted. He's not some illusion expert like Loki or Mysterio that could reveal a fake out. I can't imagine time travel coming into play here or a variant somehow crossing into the main reality. What else is there?

That’s fair and I didn’t mean it to come off that way, because I don’t like when people do that either. If I didn’t care at all about this franchise, I wouldn’t even bother saying anything, but as a huge HP fan, I just really wish it was good. So yeah I guess I do “care” about the series, I just hate the direction they took and really wish Rowling and WB had handled it better. I’m still gonna see this third movie because of that deeper franchise love, I just wish I was looking forward to it more if that makes more sense.

The Harry Potter series was my absolute obsession growing up and to this day I still cherish it. I reread the books like every other year and could answer almost any question about the content within those books. I went to all of the midnight book releases and movie showings since I was seven years old. I was Harry for Halloween four years in a row, then went as Voldemort the next year. I have all of the movies in multiple formats, all of the video games, tons of collector items, you name it. I have seen both of these Fantastic Beasts movies once, walked out disappointed, and couldn’t care less about any aspect of this plot or these characters moving forward. That’s an absolute failure.

Trailer. The internet is chomping at the bit for this more than any other MCU trailer outside of the Avengers films, but I fully expect next to nothing to be revealed. Then again, having thought about it, Sony condensed the entirety of Homecoming into a trailer, so I guess you should never overestimate their level of caution.

Can’t wait for the inevitable meltdowns when the trailers drop and Tobey and Andrew are nowhere to be seen.

Can I just say oh thank god… Every day we went without an updated official poster was slowly eating at me.
