This is cool, reminds me of a time when the same couple of actors would be co-starring on multiple romcoms as couples , which would feel like quasi-sequels of each other.

Moana, Avengers, Infinity War and Winter Soldier already gone, and still almost 30 movies to go? Color me surprised.
It's going to be mostly animated though, isn't it? It feels like it.

I'm sure this will be a turd, but honestly the trailer looks pretty fun? Maybe it'll be a Valerian / Jupiter Ascending type deal, not a good movie by any means but a good time.
Best case scenario right here, and I'd really enjoy that. Same fun vibes from the trailer as those movies.
I haven't played the games myself, which I think will probably help me enjoy this more if I look at the YouTube comments.

That good eh? Oh man, I really wish I could watch this in IMAX.

Ohhh, they nailed it, his style will be great for big dinos absolutely wrecking stuff on a big screen.
I was going to watch it in streaming, but I just might go to the movies for this one now.

This is hopefully gonna be a glorious trainwreck of a B action film in the vein of the Resident Evil movies, I miss that billion-dollar movie franchise.

Folks, as mentioned, literally NO FILM has 100% approval. To give a personal example even after all these years, I still have a somewhat... complicated relationship with The Empire Strikes Back, and that is near universally considered one of the best films of all time.
In this instantaneous age of communication it's easier than ever to find folks who don't align with initial consensus.
Now is there a danger of this being like MI7 where the general auidence has already made up its mind about the property and no amount of raves will really move the needle? PERHAPS! But the MI7 comparison only goes so far as there is a rather significant difference between the seventh installment of a franchise and the second one.
(my observations about "recency bias" in the F4 thread also applies here as to why MI7 is even brought up as a point of caution/comparison in the first place)
Yeah, and the bigger the movie the easier it is to find someone who dislikes it. Even the best movie in the world eventually found some critics to dislike it. Some people, like those named Justin and Eddie for example, just have an empty hole where their hearts should be I guess.
-
These social media reactions are intriguing because so many of them are calling it better than the first one, even people who mentioned not liking the first one all that much.
Really looking forward to what the critics will say.

Maybe I am remembering it wrong(someone should make a summary of the top 100 so far), but there seems to be a distinct lack of (non-animated) comedies in this top 100 so far, what a sad world.
(on a personal note, Waterboy is a great comedy but only made it on my top 125, sorry)

Genuinely tired of Reynolds so will only see it for OG FoxVerse + if reactions are at least decent.
Which is honestly the value a “cameo fest” brings to these types of movies. I bet many people who feel as you do will end up watching it.

Yep this thread is exactly what I thought it would be.
Just BOT doing its usual thing regarding Deadpool, Ryan and CBMs, in both directions.
This thread will probably get to over 300 pages of repeated hot takes by the time this movie comes out.

That trailer did not make it look like an event movie and the reference to a television show did not help.It’s only a reference if you’re aware of it. I’m sure that’s how it’s going to be played out in the movie itself.

Deadpool already calling himself marvel Jesus, playing with the fact that the MCU isn’t in its best moment, is just great Deadpool moment.
I wanted to see more of Wolverine, but I’m sold by the trailer.

What the fuck people, what the fuck.

yeah just saw that. Disappointing, and I was wrong.
In the grand scheme of things you are probably one of the biggest Turning Red fan that exists. Did you go watch it? Because if even you didn't...

I was born in 1996. For years I never heard of the Mighty Ducks outside of the sci-fi animated film (which I never watched and heard was bad). I never even knew it was a film until Nostalgia Critic mentioned it. It was a big deal when it came out, but it is being forgotten, and that does not help it in a popularity contest like this.
Why am I so old

Still weird that Part 3 doesn't even seem to be fast-tracked to film yet. They ended on a cliffhanger (well, it more felt like the movie stopped midway through, but that's another story) and then just haven't picked it back up yet? Like those kids aren't getting any younger.
Maybe they are introducing characters or plot developments in this one that will be seen again and play an important part in part 3? Just speculating.

So MANY good movies here.
I honestly thought The Mighty Ducks would be better remembered actually.

National Treasure
829 points, 11 lists
"I'm going to steal the Declaration of Independence."
Box Office: 347.5M
Rotten Tomatoes: 46%
Metacritic: 39
Awards: 2 Saturn Award nominations, 1 Teen Choice Award nomination
Roger Ebert’s Review: "Cage, one of my favorite actors, is ideal for this caper because he has the ability to seem uncontrollably enthusiastic about almost anything. Harvey Keitel, who plays FBI agent Sadusky, falls back on his ability to seem grim about almost anything. Jon Voight calls on his skill at seeming sincere at the drop of a pin. Diane Kruger has a foreign accent even though she is the National Archivist, so that our eyes can mist at the thought that in the land of opportunity, even a person with a foreign accent can become the National Archivist. "National Treasure" is so silly that the Monty Python version could use the same screenplay, line for line."
Its Legacy: One of Nicolas Cage's most successful movies ever. Earned the biggest opening weekend ever for a Disney film in November. Another huge hit for Jerry Bruckheimer. Earned a sequel and television series. A third film is in development. Gave Justin Bartha a paycheck.
Commentary: Long before Disney ended up owning Indiana Jones, the mad lad Jerry Bruckheimer and his buddy Jon Turteltaub created their own globe-trotting hero in Benjamin Franklin Gates in a kickass treasure hunt movie all about finding buried treasure hidden by America’s Founding Fathers.
And yeah, that premise is a little stupid. However, what results is a very derivative, but very exciting adventure full of espionage, intrigue, backstabbing, and a fun look at alternate history, with one of the greatest lines in movie history. This is not only thanks to some fun setpieces typical of Bruckheimer adventures, but also the mastery of Nicolas Cage. A real-life nutcase, he’s the anchor to making this silly setup work. He does great in the action and physicality, but also in being a fun, madcap adventurer with an exciting, twisted side to him. It results in a great family adventure for all ages with a strong cult following among Disney and Cage fandom alike.
Now can we please get that National Treasure 3 movie announced? You keep teasing it, the people have been waiting. It’s time for another movie. Just do it.
We peaked

#63 Rogue One: A Star Wars
We’re sadly never going to see another Star Wars movie again, but we still got a film that was exciting and wholly unique for the franchise, allowing Disney the confidence when it comes to future Star Wars shows like The Mandalorian and direct spin-off Andor, and will be a key component for many, young and old, on why they love Star Wars.

No idea about super bowl, when is the trailer dropping?

Was at least hoping this film would be sincere but I see they're going for the "reddit movie for babies" approach.
The trailer itself seemed sincere as you put it. I'm not sure you should equate a marketing action with the movie itself, but I guess we'll see how it turns out.
I do hope we get something heartfelt out of it.

Captain America: Brave New World | February 14, 2025 | Harrison Ford is General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross

I agree with you that he's probably showing up. Would be real stupid not to take this opportunity. But then again, Marvel has been off their game lately, so who knows.
