Thought this will be positive. But the critic submitted as negative on RT.
-
The RT score may end up similar to Crimes of Grindelwald. Even the IMDB rating is similar and even drop further. So much for the improvement.
This may wind up around $300m WW.
-
The series looks done and dusted. Hopefully WB will finally get rid of mediocre Yates for anything related to wizarding world (if they have any future plans)
-
Think all these talks and reviews of the movie being too dark, long and not kids friendly seems to be hurting it's opening a bit

It is really early, but thinking $23m-24m today.
Yes, too early but thanks. Let's hope it remains above $22m

Wow. This was so much better and entertaining than the reviews suggested. It could have been even better with better dialogues etc. However it is quite good for what it is. Yeah it's not GOT but it doesn't have to be just because of the genre. It's already a hit for Netflix and if they improve even marginally in 2nd season this will be a jackpot for Netflix and next biggest thing in TV series.

Wow. Shocked by the reviews. Didn't expected such low rating with Abrams as director. Hopefully audience wom will be better than critics ratings.
-
F2 numbers getting worse. Let's panic
-
The reviews are really horrible. On the levels of Thugs, Ra.One, Race3 etc.
Let's see if it will have average drop or collapse.

TLK did 312 in 1994.
Incredibles did 261 10 years later in 2004.
TLK2019 falling below I2 is surprising. I2 showed unrealistic growth from I : I1's goodwill, pent-up demand and CBM era. TLK2019's photo-realism is not entirely new thanks to TJB2016. Also BATB2017 was a big-bang live-action remake of a beloved 2D animation from the 90s, and TLK2019 is not novel in that regard too.
Given the reviews and average wom it's not that surprising. I2 had much better reviews and wom in comparison. TLK2019 would have done even worse if not for the goodwill of TLK. TLK2019 had so much potential at bo if not for being so serviceable and average affair. Huge success nonetheless but it had potential to be so much more.

After episode 4 and 5 leaks it was obvious the 6th one was going to be correct as well. And as such I had hardly any expectations. Except Jon, Dany and Drogon scene it was meh mostly. Specially the second half was pedestrian.
Writing for the final season kills this otherwise gorgeously shot season. However don't know how much to expect with writers when GRRM himself is unable to finish the satisfying conclusion (he have been writing it forever). He started something great but is stuck regarding conclusion since years. And I doubt he will be able to finish the books.
Disappointing season aside the show have mostly great run and was very entertaining for majority of episodes/seasons.
Thank you for the memories GOT.

shots like these make me mad that season sucks so bad
The production value was great. Specially this shot is so epic.
Only if the script/writing was even half that good.

They have completely destroyed the legacy of GOT.
Mad queen would have been fine if circumstances lead to that and they made it believable. But she heard the bell and saw lannisters dropping the sword and decides to burn thousands of innocent lives? She had temperament issues but she had mainly killed enemies/people who had been against her or betrayed her. But here D&D decide for no reason let her kill thousands of innocents to justify the mad queen angle.
Cersei ending was lame and so was Jamie.
And what joke was that between Euron and Jamie.
So not looking forward to any spinoffs. The final season leaves such a bad taste that not sure I will ever rewatch GOT again.

The episode was just shit. The writing and character arcs have all gone down the drain. Episode was free of any logic and filled with stupidity. Its like they just want to wrap this up. They are setting up Dany as mad queen in rush that it looks meh. Sansa is as bland and boring as ever. I now even prefer Cersei on the throne compared to Sansa. In fact the series and these Stark family drama have gone so awful that I won't mind her killing them all and winning. Although not going to happen. The have made everything so evident what is going to be the outcome. And for shock values they are using the stupidity like Rhaegal's one. Looks like the legendary series is going to end on bitter note due to stupid D&D. I feared without books they will struggle to close the series properly.
*** Also the episode is lowest rated episode of GOT at IMDB with 7.3 at the moment. No episode in so many years have gone below 8. This may end up around 6.5.

I think many thought the 'game of thrones' was the sideshow and that the Night King was the endgame.
But it is reversed... and they did so after 8 seasons...
That is surprising if fans took it like that. GOT was/is always about the thrones. All the rage/revenge/character arc etc all are about throne. NK/WW was always sideshow.
-
Fantastic episode. It could have been even better if they had mixed episode 2 and 3 to give some breathing space and balancing both episodes (even NK giving two proper episodes)
I think major issue fans are having with episode is it being too dark. Twitter and social media flooded with complaints of being way too dark. (60%)
Many not liking Arya killing NK so easily and all of sudden. Jon fans or GOT fans who had always believed/expected Jon will be the one. (25%)
NK done in one episode only (15%)
Looks like Sansa will indeed sit on throne in the end. Everything is pointing towards it.

Roma was the most boring among the best picture nominees no matter how much artsy and classic film making have gone into it. Glad that Green Book won. Looks like it have pissed off many people. But don't think it will go Crash way. It does seem to be one of the crowd pleasing/favorites among the nominated movies (after BP, BR, ASIB)
Olivia winning was a joke. She shouldn't have been even nominated as leading actress. Her role was supporting and should have been fine with that.

Why people are so shocked? Blackkklansman didn't won in most of other awards functions. Roma and Green Book were the favorites and had momentum with them.
Anyways I am overall very happy with the awards on personal level. Most of my favorites who I wanted/thought to win had won. Except may be Olivia which was surprise as didn't expected her to win.
-
Disappointing numbers for Aquaman. I was hoping the numbers to go up a little.
-
FF2 could very well end with around $150-160m domestic total given the reviews and audience feedback so far.
-
Hopefully this bombs so that WB fires Yates from directing HP and wizarding world franchise. He have been such a mediocre director.

Cruise+McQuarrie combo is a force to be reckoned with.
Happy for Kosinski as well. He is underrated.
