I don't get why some people didn't like the ending.
I read the spoilers and I don't get it either.
Doesn't seem like a particularly egregious twist. I actually think it makes the film even more intense and heartbreaking.

Yeah hmm that's a tough one, go see a movie intended for 5-year-olds or see an adult sci-fi movie. Yeah gonna have to say Life on that one! Unless you're dragged by the brats to PR lol
Hmm. BATB is for little girls, and yet everyone seems to love it. ;-)
Seriously, nothing wrong in wanting to see PR as an adult...

RT:
- There's nothing even remotely inventive at play here.- The truth is that Life is an Alien knock-off and a carbon copy of every retro sci-fi film ever made about the dangers of life in space.
- There is absolutely nothing original about Life. Zero. Nada.
- For a movie titled Life this one has very little of it. Pretty much the usual alien gobbling up humans in their order of importance to the plot.
- Yep, it's another "Alien" clone.
- How this by-the-numbers sci-fi horror managed to blast free of the DVD bin and engage A-list stars like Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Reynolds is hard to figure out.
- Once the alien lifeform strengthens and gets loose, Life surrenders to a tiresome chase away from not just its ravenous creature but from the movies Life so obviously takes it cues from.
- An abysmal ALIEN-clone with no genuine tension or scares. The talented cast is wasted.
- It's not terrible. It's just terribly unoriginal.
Next time listen to the Shay.
All these complaints about lack of originality and cloning, yet you have expressed your adoration of the BATB remake, which is truly, hideously lacking a single original atom. OK.

Finally...a film that puts Scarlett's awfully monotone "acting" to good use.

if they did the miami vice movie today it would be colin farrell and jamie foxx goofing around to a bunch of "no homo" gags.
Or Kevin Hart and Ryan Gosling.

BATB grossed 200 m in 4 days? That must be some kind of record, right?

Any chance of Hidden Figures passing The Help’s total domestic gross?

If you think for a moment that any of the Twilights or Transformers were better than BaTB....LOL.
I agree; the 1991 animated classic BATB is a million times better than any of those.

Big time. And yes, Batman in 89 blew everyone away. Before it came out, Ghostbusters 2 and Last Crusade set the record for opening weekends. Both grossed around 29.5 million. Then Batman came along and beat both of them by 11 million. It destroyed the OW record by more than 30%. Batman was a true beast.
I lived in Puerto Rico when Batman89 came out and the local media was obsessed with it. Almost all local sitcoms referenced the film and the character, and local variety shows had Batman-themed skits constantly. And I have never seen so many people on the streets wearing Batman t-shirts, not even in our current CBM golden age. It was fricking insane.

I remember Titanicmania. Before that, the one film I recall being an all-encompassing pop culture force was Batman 89. It was inescapable all over; a true phenomenon (like Titanic.)

So you slam "intellectually lazy" movies and basically call general audiences idiots, then turn around and say you love Transformers? Do you have a split personality or are you two different people posting with this one account?
Huge difference between calling audiences idiots (which I never did) and saying that they fell for nostalgia. We have all done that.

I apologize. I misread your intentions. It just seemed like you were slamming the film every chance you got. And that kind of seemed trollish. I guess I didn't help the situation. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Cool. Again, I apologize for my idiotic posts. I can certainly admit I acted like an idiot. I guess it’s not worth to fight over silly stuff. Thanks for understanding, and also, sorry if I came across as trying to tell you how to act. It was stupid, man. Anyway, have a great day. Can I ask a [silly] question? What do you think, of the upcoming blockbusters, will be the next one to break out in bigger-than-expected ways? GITS? WW? PR?

okay, so far its heading into divergent territory type reviews...... its cute
Gorgeous trumps cute. Is that what NY said? LOL

Also, saying that a film is intellectually lazy is very different from allegedly wanting ”intellectually challenging” films only. Heck, I loved Twilight and Transformers, and those films are anything but IC. I also look forward to Black Panther and Wonder Woman. Anyway, this is my last post about this. Sorry again for acting like a jerk.

I dont understand what you think im supposed to do as a moderator. My job is a moderator is not to agree with the masses. My job is a moderator is not to defend what I think are silly opinions. My job is a moderator is to make sure that rules are not broken here and thread titles are changed and people stay in line and people try to get along for the most part. And I did defend you my good sir. I defended your right not to like the movie. You have that right and I support your right not to like the movie. I just think you have miscalculated what the film is going to do and that's where my disconnect with you stems from.
Your job is also to at least wait a little while...just a little, man, before disdainfully calling a member "troll.” I just happenes to express an unpopular opinion, and yea, I admit that my tone was not roses and rainbows, but jeez...at least PM me before saying that I am a troll just because my box office acumen is not as sharp as youra. That’s what triggered my reactions...that message of yours in which you called me that. I have nothing against you, but dude, my ”bad attitude” has been partly because I hate that BATB is such a hit, but partly because of this whole insistence on troll-designating any unpopular opinion. I apologize for my idiotic behavior, ok ? I am genuinely sorry. But...next time I express my dislike for a beloved property and/or show what an amateur I am at box office numbers, can I be called a troll whenI am actually trolling?

Love the passive-aggressiveness of ”hey, it’s his blahblablah opinion and [the subtext of] we have to respect it, god bless his little dumb soul for not riding the BATB bandwagon.” Great mb moderation lessons.

Can't wait to see @MrMarosa rejoice about the ugly Wednesday drop before he gets beaten down again by a massive second weekend.
Oh well. I am not committing suicide or anything, but it's a bummer that such an utterly mediocre, intelectually lazy and emotionally vapid film is making a killing at the box office; nostalgia is a hell of a drug. However, it is not the first time that the GA thinks a film turd is the second coming, so I'll just have to accept it and eat some delicious crow.

According to RTHs post on pg 11 of the Monday thread, BATB did 18 frikkin million on Tuesday.
Thats a 33% increase.
Where on page 11? He never confirms any of the guesses (unless a like to the people who guessed "6 plus 6 plus 6 equals 18" based on his The Omen pic is considered confirmation of a number that he never mentioned himself). Just curious...

66.6 million for Tuesday? 6.66 m?? LOL Huge either way, for different reasons...

This and Wonder Woman will be the most interesting bo runs to watch closely.

For some reason, I envisioned Kristen Wiig as King.

I love it when people ask if $500M is "possible." Hahaha well the movie opened $19M ahead of Rogue One, which easily cleared $500M, so yeah I'm just going to go on out a limb and say "it's possible."
A ”little” movie called Captain America: Civil War opened $24 m ahead of BATB and it did not clear 500 million. Also, Rogue One had holiday legs to help it maximize profits, which BATB does not have, so I am going to go out on a limb and say that it is also possible that BATB does not gross 500.

So this will be her Pelican Brief, eh? Man, can you imagine the heights Julia Roberts would have reached if back in the late eighties/nineties, The Hunger Games books had been a thing?
