  1. Rewatching Transformers. Watching this after "Pacific Rim" and "Godzilla" makes me appreciate how Michael Bay managed to show us the transformers throughout the movie, have a "good enough" human POV, actually built up to the Megatron-Optimus Prime fight, and somehow managed to not have the fights be in the night during the rain.

     

    The first Transformers had a really good balance between TFs and humans before everything went over board with the second two...

  2. (Wow, 30 pages since I last checked? I ain't got time for that!)

     

    So, next weekend, Maleficent is going to open $90-$100m, overshooting expectations, and then finish up somewhere between $210m and $260m, which will be a modest success.

     

    Then, TFioS is going to open $90-$100m, overshooting expectations, and then finish up somewhere between $210m and $260m, which will be a great success.

     

    Then, HTTYD2 is going to open $90-$100m, overshooting expectations, and then finish up somewhere between $210m and $260m, which will be a mild disappointment.

     

    Then, TF4 is going to open $90-$100m, undershooting expectations, and then finish up somewhere between $210m and $260m, which will be a disappointment.

     

    Then, DotPotA is going to open $90-$100m, overshooting expectations, and then finish up somewhere between $210m and $260m, which will be a good success.

     

    Then, Jupiter Ascending is going to open $90-$100m, way overshooting expectations, and then finish up somewhere between $210m and $260m, and will be a huge success.

     

    Then, Hercules or Lucy is going to open $90-$100m, overshooting expectations, and then finish up somewhere between $210m and $260m, which will be a big success.

     

    Then, GotG is going to open $90-$100m, overshooting expectations, and then finish up somewhere between $210m and $260m, which will be a very nice success.

     

    Then, TMNT is going to open $90-$100m, overshooting expectations, and then finish up somewhere between $210m and $260m, which will blow some peoples minds.

     

    Then, the summer is going to crap out, because it will have already been a huge success overall, despite nothing managing to hit $300m.

     

    Other than JA/Hercules/Lucy I can see everything else happening...

  3. It wasn't the technological hook that made people go back to see it. It was because people loved the world and yes, the characters.

     

    Yea I remember seeing it a few times back in the day...everyone was hooked on Pandora and just were amazed how awesome it looked in 3D...

     

    As for the story, nothing novel but it didn't have to be...the concept of belonging was something any culture could identify with and that why it was so huge all over the place...

  4. Lets not talk about that.

    They are even able to fuck up the continuity even more, since at the beginning of DOFP the Wolverine has his metal claws back, but he lost them at the end of The Wolverine. And this is such a stupid mistake to make.

     

    Maybe

    Magneto diverted the adamantium from other places in the body...he was able to liquify the railroad metal into the robots and that was his younger self..

  5. No. He only got Mystique in the leg when he was trying to kill her. With Mystique he was trying to kill her and missed. With JFK he may have been trying to save him and failed.

     

    Ahh...yea I can see that...

     

    On the hand, we didn't see his attack on JFK though...whereas on Mystique, she was already out of the window and falling before he started to curve the bullet and he was out of line of sight by then so the hit on her may have been more coincidence than anything...
