Edited my list to add in Tomorrowland after that teaser.

Well, Fury is officially out of the race unless the reviews really pick up.

I'll bet 50 points Alexander decreases this Tuesday, 2 people I'll bet 50 points The Boxtrolls decreases this Tuesday, 2 people

It makes a lot of sense, however no matter the reason they were entirely unprofessional about it. If your site is down due to maintenance then simply say, "The website is down due to x maintenance." And if you are going to merge websites give a proper warning beforehand to let the readers know there will be changes coming within a few days.

There's truth to that but Winter Soldier is probably the most eye rolling addition so far. However if TDKR makes it that will top it.

Winter Soldier shouldn't be near this list, it's a good movie but it's not that good.

I think the thing is that you can't discuss the themes and issues of this movie without bringing those topics up, they're everywhere.

I'll just say it'll take a really strong performance for Pike to not deserve the Oscar win.

Eh, it's a lot easier if it's on Mojo, too much stuff on a single website can be a mess, IMDb is crammed enough as it is. Plus, BOM wouldn't be free data if they moved it to IMDb.

Don't be so sure, it's trending well on social media which is a good sign for a horror film. It won't be as high as Annabelle but I won't be surprised with low 30s or high 20s

Plus it was able to capitalize on the little box office surge the past couple weeks.

That makes the most sense, this whole thing is way to sketchy with them refusing to acknowledge it even happened.

With 3 new releases next week (one with a potential 30m opening) and strong potential from Ouija, this October is poised to set a record.

It was better than I thought it'd be, but I am going to put that all on the fact that Luke Evans was so charismatic in his role that it brought the movie up with him. Without Evans the movie would have been unbearably boring, but he managed to salvage it and make it fairly entertaining. Visually the movie is very strong and has some impressive sequences, but the action can feel rather monotonous at points given there is only one fight where there is any risk of harm to Evans. Not that you don't already know how the whole thing will play out, the script is ridiculously predictable (and I found it rather glaring of a plot hole on why he didn't just go and lay waste to the entire Ottoman army day one and then went and hid for the rest of the three days.) It was decent and enough and entertaining as long as you don't have any real expectations. I feel a C+ is fair.

I'm curious why they refuse to speak about it as well.

There's objectivity to everything, obviously there are subjective elements but not liking certain elements or choices made doesn't mean they were bad if they pulled them off well. If it quality was truly determinate on a person's opinion then you wouldn't see opinions align like they do for films like Citizen Kane. Obviously there are some films with a lot of problems but also a lot going for them, so in that case it gets a lot more subjective, but when it comes to Citizen Kane it has its acclaim for a reason. Claiming it was poorly crafted in any cinematic sense would be nonsense, there's a reason all of the shots it pioneered are still in use today. And if you couldn't create a basic overview if a performance was good or not (as is writing) you wouldn't be able to teach the crafts. Yes, there are certain styles in both, and some people prefer certain styles over others, but doing a certain style well (Such as a hyper-realism approach in acting, which tends to be the most prevalent in film nowadays) and you not liking the style wouldn't make the performance bad, you just personally aren't a fan of the style but it doesn't make the performance bad. I am not saying film is a checklist, there are subjective elements, but people tend to get caught up in preference and don't actually judge quality. I guarantee anyone who doesn't like Citizen Kane either, 1.Heard, "Best Film of All Time", expected a movie that was stylistically in line with what they prefer and the film didn't mean those expectations, thus they were caught off guard and found it 'boring'. 2.Weren't interested in how it was presented (however objectively you can still judge from this point if it is well presented in that particular style). 3.Consciously or Subconsciously want to be above it; having the hipster type mindset. There aren't a lot of films that I will get into it about when people say they're bad, but Citizen Kane is one of them because calling it a bad film and still expecting people to think you know what you're talking about when it comes to movies is fairly ludicrous. It's definitely fine to dislike it, but then you are talking about personal preferences and not quality.

You said yourself after a general point. Now obviously when it comes to filmmaking there is a fair amount of subjectivity to it, but you can objectively determine good acting, good writing, etc. Writing is not wholly personal opinion, neither is acting, etc. There is a reason there are general accepted criteria when it comes to what is considered good or not good in all of those aspects. The quote, "It's all a matter of opinion," is one of the biggest lies that's told to people.

Except there is literally no logical argument you could make about Citizen Kane being a poorly made film except that you just didnt like it and at that point it's a personal problem. Whenever I have gone to contests for any type of art mediums a good judge doesn't equate preference to quality, because they aren't the same thing.

Except liking something doesn't equate to thinking something is good. Big misconception. You can not enjoy Citizen Kane but calling it a poorly made film is blasphemy.

I'm not going to read Beowulf on a daily basis (in fact I don't like reading much given I am fairly ADD and so it's a chore to get myself to sit down and read) nor do I particularly enjoy it, but I'm not going to call it bad literature because I couldn't get enjoyment out of it. I also don't enjoy Mexican food, however when I eat quality Mexican food I'm not going to say it was badly made because I don't like Mexican food. It was well-made Mexican food I just don't enjoy that style, but it doesn't make it bad or overrated.
