Humble.. Empire you still being stubborn about the online reaction or do you agree it's mixed yet?

🌍world wide🌍 My 650 to 730m dom and 1.4m world wide is looking possible

Lots of meltdown... this film is doing the expected boring run that everyone estimated.

just never read a review from that person again

The CGI doesn't hold up too well in lotr2 and 3. Re watched them all a couple of months ago. The fellowship of the ring is one of the greatest films of all time. Then the other films had their moments. One of if not the single best scene I've watched in cinema was the Helms Deep sequence, the atmosphere was incredible.

Don't worry I redirected it to stand-alone movies for you, the franchise talk was getting old.

but.. that was my childhood

childhood meme would be better if star wars wasn't already ruined 2 years ago.

You don't feel things like beauty in a mediocre film boy'o. Also it has a video game so it's a franchise

I meant pure as in the it doesn't contain any mediocre movies!

Is Avatar the only pure franchise in this thread?

Hmmm, surely there's a simple explanation we could use, can't think of it myself though.

I'm just been thinking about the MCU vs DC wars, and how plenty like to see the other side fail. What they don't realise here is that a lot of the General Audience see superhero movies as a single universe, if they went to see MCU14 and confused it for a low budget hospital drama, they're less likely to see the next iteration of DC.

R1 didn't drop 6% on the Tuesday.

Disappointed in my country men, shouldn't let the mouse get away with The Force Awakens.

these are super mild spoilers lol

I think Stuart has an agenda!

Well I mean it is actual data, it's just of internet users who use movie voting website.

Rob Cain cutting conspiracy theorems to pieces with Occam's Razor. To be honest I wasn't going to bring up the online reaction stuff any more because we're just going in circles.

Obviously we can all look through each others list and be confused why X is above Y but overall the list has loads of great films so it's a thumbs up from me. What I will do is ask why some films are missing, films which I think you would like from the films you've listed. At #63 you have Seven Samurai which is regarded as one of Kurosawa's best and you have it really high. I didn't see any other Kurosawa films on the list so I have to ask why? My favourites are Yojimbo and it's sequel Sanjuro, Seven Samurai, Ran and Throne of Blood. You have sci-fi's really high up on the list but I didn't see Stalker or Solaris which are in my opinion two of the absolute best. The Thing, where is The Thing? The action sci-fi classics Starship Troopers, Robocop and Predator. You've got all the recent good sci-fi's but not Ex Machina, it's got TWO star wars actors as the male leads! Sprited Away is really high (my favourite animated film) and Princess Mononoke in the top 150. However Castle in the Sky, Kiki's Delivery service, Totoro and Grave of the Fireflies are absent. I don't see any Korean films, Oldboy and Memories of Murder would be in my top 100. The Wailing was a hell of a ride too. The fact I see most of Ridley's best but don't see Kingdom of Heaven, heavily suggests you haven't see the directors cut. It's the greatest jump in quality I've ever seen from a theatrical to a directors cut I've ever seen. From a 6/10 to a 10/10. This isn't hyperbole it's really that good, better than Gladiator. Also I think Ridleys Black Hawk Down is real good. Also finally, where's Avatar and Titanic? edit: The Hunt and Apocalypto are two under watched films I love. If you haven't seen The Raid 1&2 and you like Martial Arts, and you like action, you should check them out.

is it thursday or friday we're expecting the bump

You've actually covered Avatar 3 and 4 there aswell.

Not bad, Avatar made the same in the second week anyway.
