  1. A 34m sat is a slight drop from the true Friday. Not ideal, but not terrible. 109m - 114m Weekend would still be a great opening for it.
  2. IT is going to be the biggest film in the history of the September/October season. Biggest OW, DOM and WW
  3. Yeah but clone Wolverine was cringe worthy bad, I really had to try hard to overlook how bad of a decision it was to include him.
  4. It's weird how the best comic book films this year had the worst villains of them (WW and Logan). Logan's especially sucked, it brought the movie down from a near A+ to about an A, nearly A-
  5. Going to lower my rating to a B, it doesn't hold up as well after sleeping on it.
  6. Yeah, comparing these films to classics of their genre is an insult to the movies you're comparing them to. This was a fun superhero movie with some coming of age elements, but it wasn't a John Hughes film at all.
  7. These cinematic universes are getting too serialized for my tastes. They're movies trying to be TV shows, except without the time and space to be as effective as modern TV.
  8. Rank the Best Fantasy Franchises 1. Pokemon 2. Game of Thrones 3. Middle Earth 4. The Legend of Zelda 5. Oz 6. Harry Potter 7. The Dark Tower 8. The Witcher 9. The Chronicles of Narnia 10. Warcraft
  9. I'll forgive Fox for their other messes because Deadpool and Logan are the two best comic book films of the decade (well, minus GOTG).
  10. Rank the users with the best cinema taste 1. The Panda 2. Telemachos 3. CoolioD1 4. Jake Gittes 5. Baumer
  11. Ranking this year's comic book films 1. Logan - A 2. Wonder Woman - A 3. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 - B+/A- 4. Spider-Man: Homecoming - B+ 5. LEGO Batman - B
  12. I was fine with it being grounded, but most of the action was poorly done. A lot of shaky cam and close up shots where you can't see what's going on, it felt lazy. The Monument setpiece was the only memorable one imo. The other problem is even though the focus is on the characters, it still lacks depth. People are saying it's a John Hughes film, but it feels more like a light imitation of that. The attention to characters feels surface level, especially compared to films like Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club. However, I've gotten that with most MCU films. They pick a "style" and say "This movie is a political thriller!", "This one is a coming of age story", etc. and do a poor imitation of the genre while being sure to still stick to their formula. They don't really give in to that line of thinking. So in that regards, the focus on the characters is too shallow to make up for the messy action pieces. Dont want to criticize the film too much, though. It's a good movie, a fun watch, and one of the better MCU films.
