    Unbelievable.... I was following box office during Avatar's mind-blowing run. Still remember the articles when it broke 2 billion

     

    And now it's #2

  2. BK007 Can't say I agree with everything you said but the overall sentiment, yes.

     

    This movie lacks a coherent thread gluing it together. It's a bunch of interesting stuff happening in a movie but when put together, it's kinda awkward, at least for me. Most of the characters were pure stereotypes/excessive caricatures of themselves or what type of person they represent (case in point: Ned, the teacher, Betty)

     

    Also, Tony Stark chose this kid... really? What has he truly done to be deemed worthy of having the ability to choose between life and death for billions of people? He didn't choose one of his own pals whom he saved the world repeatedly with, but instead this high school kid who lacks experience... Right. It reeks of corporate decision (executives saying Spider-Man WILL be the future of the MCU -- make it happen) in place of a character-driven one, which so far, the MCU has excelled in.

     

    Anyway, it was pretty decent, I'd have to rewatch it to be sure, but that's it. I really hope Spider-Man does not become the face of the MCU because I think he works best as a supporting character (like in Avengers 3 and 4)

  3. I thought this was quite average. Passing grade, but barely.

     

    Lots of good ideas but ultimately I was just completely disengaged throughout. Surprisingly enough, only the romantic subplot kept me interested, which is quite unusual for me with these types of movies.

     

    Never been a fan of Spider-Man either. The only reason I watched this movie is because it's part of the MCU, in which it inserts itself quite well.

     

    Can't wait for them to go full cosmic and weird though. I hope it does happen soon enough.

    La fin du monde. Everyone should drink it. I forgot how much I loved it even 10 years later.  Man it sneaks up on you.

     

    Brewed not far from where I live.

     

    Great beer indeed! Drank lots of it back when I could drink several 9% beers in one go :ph34r:

  5. BTW I felt this episode was very well directed.

     

    Probably the biggest discrepancy I've seen between the quality of the directing and the quality of the writing happened on this show, and in the last 2 episodes of this series.

     

    Big props to the technical department and the directors for their visual flair and hard work.

     

    The writers... that's another story.

     

    And yes I'm aware that D&D both wrote and directed the last episode. Their writing was shit but I loved how they directed it. The atmosphere and mood in the beginning of this episode was hella impressive.
