  1. Superwoman can dish out everything Wonder Woman can; how will the SS be able to stop her??
  2. I agree that this premise is quite summer-audience friendly. It’s basically Die Hard meets The Towering Inferno, and it stars arguably the most charismatic, likeable action hero we have had in quite a while (not unlike Bruce Willis in his prime). I think Alita will take the fall, if anything. Now, had Cameron directed that, the story would be different...
  3. I did not love this film, but it was an alright/so so diversion. I am still shocked it got such a low RT score. I would have imagined it getting a 60 at worst.
  4. I don't know why I always fall for these stupid movies that make a blubbering mess out of me.
  5. Originality is so overrated. Gimme a compelling story, relatable characters, thrilling suspense, laughs, emotional resonance and an ending that makes me cheer, and I'm good. So what if we have seen plot elements before? Show me a modern film that is 100 %, unequivocal ly, unquestionably original on every single frame, and I will show you a real, live mermaid/unicorn/gorgon hybrid.
  6. I wonder too... Thing is that the legend of el Coco (or Cuco in some other Spanish-speaking countries) has huge narrative and cinematic potential.
  7. I hate the fact that the Academy is so close-minded when it comes to deeming movies 'the best' depending on the genre. I would love to see a horror film get BP. Or a superhero movie.
  8. Very Bad Moms. They should have Cameron DiaZ in a cameo.
  9. Thanks! You are right. I forgot about the R. I also understand that it has not flopped by any means (I just expected a better hold). In any case, is anybody still talking about superhero fatigue? These movies are here to stay. Notice how whether badly reviewed or greatly reviewed, starring icons or C-listers, Pg or R-rated, grim or funny/colorful, they are all making insane box office. What do you think Wonder Woman and Guardians V. 2 will do domestic? I expect over 400 million for the Marvel sequel and anything between 250-300 million for the amazing amazon's solo film debut.
  10. Get Out is a monster. I honestly thought the plot would alienate white audiences, but I am happy that it has become a smash. Logan, on the other hand, is not the monstet I thought it would be. Kinda makes a case for audiences indeed preferring sunny, colorful CBMs (although that would not explain the commercial success of BvS and MOS). Clearly, GOTG2 and WW, both of which look like more wide-eyed, optimistic, traditional CBMs will do better.
