We're not talking about wins, we're talking about nominations right now. From that standpoint, we still don't know much. For example, Bale and Adams could very well steal lead acting spots from those that have been ASSUMED since September.
People always count out the later entries even though time and time again they make a big splash come nomination morning. Based on one "review" from one pundit, you're guessing the film will have a mixed reception. That's silly, and that's what I meant by "you guess too much." It comes off as arrogant.
Tapley - "People seem to really like it so probably gonna do well."
Sounds like a case similar to The Dark Knight Rises where Tapley's not a huge fan but most everyone else (critics-wise) like/love it.
I think people need to get used to the idea that not every well-received franchise sequel is going to increase ten-fold from the original on opening weekend. As you all know, there's something called a "franchise ceiling," and some franchises more or less hit that ceiling on the first try (Star Trek comes to mind).
and never came back. There were also these three girls who were twelve at the oldest with no parents sitting in front of me, which caused me to wonder if they knew what movie they had snuck into. I was surprised they stayed and watched the whole thing. Overall, it was a certainly interesting time at the movies...
Booo to you.
You're obviously biased. There aren't a lot of superhero sequels and non-sequels with a 2-2.25 multiplier. Only Hulk, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, Spider-man 3, Watchmen, Green Lantern, X-men Origins: Wolverine, and X-men: The Last Stand have multipliers that low.
Errm, not exactly. It's neither one of the best nor one of the worst, kinda like the movie itself.
Spider-man
Batman Begins
Iron Man
The Dark Knight
The Avengers
Those are the best.
