Shhhh, don't tell them that, "Exchange rates, Christmas time". I love Endgame but it's INSANE it still hasn't passed Avatar with that opening.

I'll trust the trades saying people were blown away indeed

Not to mention that ViewerAnon has a very particular taste shall we say, hem hem. Anyway, the buzz seems really strong around it. @baumer The moments with them grown up in the book are fantastic, they're just by design not as "compelling" so to speak because you lose the whole innocence, the kids and the Goonies aspect. I'm very excited to see the director's cut of the first chapter, Andy Muschietti said it'd come last year. Barbara Muschietti was asked about it on Instagram and she said it would be coming soon. I guess WB either wants us to double dip and release Chapter Two first, and then do another release where the two are combined in one cut which Andy mentioned he wanted to do. I worship the book, and the first film is excellent but imo it's 20-30 min away from being great.

You don't have to have an Oscar for Best Screenplay to be considered a great writer, which he is.

That headline is total clickbait. It makes perfect sense within the context of the interview.

They don't have anything to do with this film though. I'm certainly not expecting them to do many of those kinds of films.

Nothing can equal Peter and Gwen in the TASM films imo and for obvious reasons, Andrew and Emma have insane chemistry. Peter and MJ in Raimi's trilogy is second best imo. Peter/MJ in FFH works extremely well, although it is odd that she's barely in Homecoming, her and Peter barely interact, we never get a hint that he's interested in her. Then FFH opens, and he has this major crush on her. I guess it all happened offscreen but very bizarre.

As much as Avatar won't gain anything on the resolution side (it was all rendered in 2K I believe), HDR can make a big difference yeah.

Perhaps but that's what makes it not nearly as satisfying to me personally as Raimi's, Webb's films or ITSV. I like some of those elements though. The third film though should be very interesting, hopefully the Netflix's Daredevil showing up rumor is true. I hope the tone evolves too, they delved into more dramatic elements with Tony but it's still too light for my taste, then again, it's the same with 99% of the MCU films.

I don't know man, it's been five films with him and they haven't given it much importance. FFH is the first film that makes a "big" deal of it and yet no visual representation. About Peter's tie to Tony, it's heartwarming, and appropriate as an epilogue to Endgame, but as much as I like all this interconnectivity in the MCU, I'll say I like it better when Peter is off in his own universe ala Raimi or Webb, similar to the X-Men, I think it works better, as cool as interacting with the other characters is.

It does, but the Spidey sense is not represented visually, not really. I mean, you guys remember Raimi's Spidey sense or Webb's?

It's barely there, the hair on the arm is the most obvious. It's just not significant enough to me.

Agreed. By the way, the Spidey sense, it's a bummer that it's not even really a thing in the MCU. I get that they might not want to copy what was done before but come on, they just talk about it, there's no visual (Raimi and Webb did it beautifully) or sound cue. That's disappointing.

Hell, Tony tells Peter he wants him to be better than him in Homecoming. About the scene showing Peter being like Tony, that doesn't mean he's not himself, it's just a really cool scene showing how alike they are.

They're gonna have to tackle some more serious terrain though at some point. I get that some people are loving this tone but light gets boring after a while. Also, @John Harris, Daniel RPK (a well known and trustworthy scooper) has been teasing that Osborn is going to be the next big bad in the MCU.

God, I hope that rumor about Charlie Cox's Daredevil showing up in SM3 is true. It's been teased by several scoopers, we know that by 2020, Marvel Studios will be allowed to use him, this is the perfect opportunity. Need to let the movie sink in a little but just as with Homecoming, people overhyped this too much, I couldn't help but be disappointed a bit. I was wary when I saw those initial raves (which usually happens, tempers calm down when reviews are near and we get more balanced reactions) and this confirmed it. I worship Raimi's trilogy (yes, even the third one, despite some of its shortcomings), really like TASM & TASM2. The Raimi trilogy especially just has a heart, soul, flair and VISION that HC and FFH just do not have. Not to say that HC and FFH don't have heart, they do, but they don't feel distinct enough, they just feel like another installment of the MCU franchise. Raimi's films have a personality to them, a product of its time perhaps but yeah, nobody has topped Raimi's set pieces too. I can't help but wonder, truly, aside from the very early MCU films, Coogler and the Russos, how much leeway the directors have, it feels to me like they could be directed by anyone (not literally but you know what I mean), there's no visual flair. Far From Home is a big step up from Homecoming though, I don't like the globetrotting aspect as I believe Spidey just belongs in NYC but it lends itself well to this story. Holland is great but my heart still belongs to Andrew and Tobey. Zendaya FINALLY gets something to do, and as seen on Euphoria, she is really talented, the two have very strong chemistry but it is a bit odd that the two barely interact in Homecoming, she's barely in it, and yet Peter has a massive crush on her when FFH opens? I guess it just happened offscreen. Still, that aspect works like a charm. Jake is obviously a highlight, the bar scene was a bit cheesy and I think I would have liked it better if he didn't need anyone else to help him create all of this although obviously, doing this all by himself probably isn't believable. The ILLUSIONS are probably the best parts of the film, as boring as the rest of it looks lighting wise, those sequences are really some of the most inventive stuff an MCU film has ever done, it's trippy, unnerving, surprising and super cool. The film is otherwise quite fun, but in the usual MCU way which can prove tiring at times (one particular gag when Fury meets Peter in his hotel room is overdone), the post Endgame and Tony aspect gives it a much needed tragic element although I thought they'd lean more into the dramatic aspect?! Still, well made, also a bunch of twists and turns. The action with the Elementals is fine (I miss Raimi's action), the third act however elevates the film, the whole London set piece is quite well done, inventive. The mid credits scene is as awesome as everyone said it was, my mind MELTED when JK showed up, I guess this legitimizes the multiverse ! I hope he didn't just show up for a cameo, but I doubt it. And oh my, Beck framing Spidey, just made me super hyped for the third film all of a sudden, the possibilities are exciting, I hope it'll also take place exclusively in NYC. Oh and more webslinging next time, the final scene is very satisfying but still falls short of the webslinging in Raimi's trilogy and Webb's series.

Dave Bautista has balls but he's right, will anyone with a straight face say any F&F film out there is a GOOD film? I doubt it, they're fun, brainless but they are certainly not good films.

That's fucking amazing considering the tracking at 125-130. Some of you are fucking nuts.

DanielRPK said on Twitter they pushed it to tomorrow.

Amen, although to be fair, no film could stay this long in theaters nowadays.

Oh boy, some speculation that Disney could rerelease Endgame several times, where does it end

There's no indication in the article that it is? BUT, with JDW and Pattinson looking like they came out of the 90s and the fact that it's Nolan, there has to be some kind of higher concept or sci fi twist that we don't know about yet.

I think definitely part of him must be but overall he's probably thinking "bring it on".

I think he does but not sure.

I'm greedy but I hope a Toy Story 5 and so on happens as long as it's not contrived. This is just a universe that they can keep going back to over and over again and it's always a pleasure. I do wonder why Woody I have no doubt that the Forky shorts will lead to more of that kind, and Pixar is just so inventive and creative, you can take the gang and put them on all kinds of different adventures and it just works.
