I'm not shocked about the lukewarm reception of Solo. The trailers were mediocre and generated no buzz from crowds whatsoever, even IW and BP crowds that were already lathered up lol. Every time I saw that trailer play in the theater I could feel the apathy towards it.

My brother and I were discussing the movie a couple of days ago and how his kids were gutted leaving the theater. Having lived through both eras we agreed Infinity War is this generation's Empire Strikes Back. Watch the potential spoilers when discussing the film please. Thanks baumer

I'm not a fan of the first movie. It was like a Roland Emmerich movie with cardboard cutout characters and dinosaurs and this one looks a lot worse.

I don't think the Winter Soldier villain combo gets enough credit. Redford was great as Alexander Pierce who's the brains. Winter Soldier was the brawn and had a great Terminator vibe going on. And Frank Grillo is an underrated henchmen. Zola gets a special mention as well.

10 years, 19 movies. I picture Feige sitting on his porch, looking out at his paradise and a slow smile comes to his face.

Seeing it in IMAX 2D is a HUGE difference...like going from DVD to blu-ray lol. I was angry at myself for seeing IW the first two times in Cinemark XD but that theater was closer.

Technically, can Civil War really be an Avengers movie with no Hulk or Thor?

Yeah, speaking for myself it'll be tough because the nostalgia factor for the old-heads is pretty much gone with Luke dead, Han dead, Leia doing nothing of importance in the last film and Carrie Fisher is gone so you know there isn't much they can do with her character beyond TLJ. They really blew it there. I'm one of those guys that will go see a movie I love in theaters 4-5 times lol. I've already seen IW three times. I saw TLJ only once which has never happened for any Star Wars movie. The new characters bore the shit out of me so I'm no longer even hyped for EP IX and I wouldn't be surprised if there are many that feel the same way I do.

Thor's goofy grin right before he gets slammed never fails to make me laugh. Hemsworth has come a long way since Dark World. He's gotten an all-around upgrade where he went from most boring Avenger to now most likable and powerful Avenger.

My biggest chuckle were the trolls that were trying to put the CGI of Thanos on par with Steppenwolf in Justice League when the IW trailer was first released. It was ridiculous back then and it's even more laughable now.

Yesterday I could tell this was an event movie because I took the day off to see it again at 11:30AM and there were many adults with their kids in the theater so I'm assuming they let their kids have a "sick day" lol.

Thor probably would have had a better hold if Justice League hadn't come out that third weekend and cut its legs off.

I have no hype for this movie whatsoever but I'll give it a chance as I've liked some remakes in the past. One thing I do like about remakes is they make a new generation of people more aware of the original film and they'll check it out.

Right before RTH interrupted with the early Friday numbers...

Thank you. He got it all from his mom lol.

My boy could fit that role. And yes, his name is Miles lol....

When watching the trailer for Red Sparrow I mentioned to my wife that this looks a hell of a lot like Black Widow's flashback in Age of Ultron and she said she was thinking the same thing lol. It really looked just like a set up for a Black Widow movie. Marvel dropped the ball on that.

I loved BP and have seen it twice already and even if it made Doctor Strange money I wouldn't have cared since all I wanted was a great film. Seeing it break out this way is just the cherry on top and makes me smile. It's been a very long time since I've gone to the theater during the winter and seen it buzzing with so much activity. It made me feel like summer was here already.

BP is attracting new fans to this universe that aren't even aware of the other movies. It would have been nice to show them that he's going to be in another movie coming up lol.

Yeah, if you're going to wear the Black Panther mask you better make it something Vince Carter level lol.

I can't believe Marvel dropped the ball in not attaching the Infinity War trailer to Black Panther.

' You just reminded me that I was missing the NBA dunk contest and switched over. Was there anything spectacular yet?

I'm a huge Blade fan and I used that clip to sync in a music video I did for the movie. I was reading a few pages back. Nice to see that we have some editors in here.

Not just commercially but critically. Coogler threw down the gauntlet. After Black Panther's rave reviews critics are going to be less forgiving to Infinity War coming so soon after. I have faith in the Russos but I'm expecting an Age of Ultron level rating with IW. There's so much to juggle and they have to introduce a new villain and his entourage. Something has to give lol. This high 80s-90s run has to end some time.

I think a lot of that is spillover from Black Panther which is bringing huge crowds to the theaters. Novice moviegoers (like my parents) think they can just show up to the theater and get a ticket to BP 20 minutes before the movie starts lol. The packed parking lot doesn't give them a clue that the movie and the next showing is most likely sold out already so they choose something else and Jumanji is the next best alternative.
