May also be comic titles and not movie titles.
They do seem more like comic book titles than movie titles to me.

What does Grace Randolph even mean by “they’re incorporating Flashpoint into the movie”? Is she saying that Wonder Woman is going to be evil?
-
I guess if there’s a silver lining to this, it’s that there’s now more space between Joker, Birds of Prey and this film.

On the subject of Quaritch, I certainly hope Cameron can give him a bit more depth this time around.

Shazam? Godzilla? MIB? It 2? Jumanji 2?
There’s much more aside from the Disney giants.
Out of all those films, the only ones I’ll give you are the last two, and even then, I seriously doubt they’ll do as well as their predecessors.
Anyway, I’m guessing the person here who said that WB is the worst studio is either joking, or isn’t aware of Sony.

That is stupid. 2019 is starting to look more and more like a dead year now, apart from the usual stuff that Disney puts out.

Well, internet critics like Nostalgia Critic & Confused Matthew didn’t see it that way. Their opinions of the actor & the movies must be different, i think. Particularly the first one which had good but not overly spectacular reviews.
I think maybe Sam Raimi’s SM3’s mixed reputation, kinda hurt the confidence of great future SM-films (which is maybe why Marc Webb’s TASM’s weren’t as big hits as the Raimi-films)...but then SM: Homecoming brought back the fun charm of what made people love the first two Raimi-Spidey movies.
And now we have Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock/Venom. Which makes me wonder....how does he compare to Topher Grace’s Eddie Brock/Venom from SM3?
It might be easy to forget, but back in 2012, I distinctly recall there having been a number of people who said that Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man was a breath of fresh air. While the film as a whole was overshadowed by the The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises, The Amazing Spider-Man did have a fair amount of defenders back in the day.

I'm well aware of the finer points so that isn't an issue I had to consider. I've been around awhile.
Just figured I would point that out, given that Sony is apparently holding out hope for a potential crossover with Tom Holland’s Spider-Man in the future.

So....time to start thinking about that sequel it seems. The mid-credits can now become a reality.
Just don’t count on any crossovers with the MCU.

So...
Venom 2 - 2020?
I’m assuming that’ll depend on this movie’s legs. If it gets BvS type legs, a 2020 sequel might not be a sure thing.
-
Well, this was certainly a poorly made film, but it was also too funny for me to hate. I couldn’t tell if the movie was self aware or not.

You have to give Clint Eastwood some major props for being able to direct films on a yearly basis at his age.

For the curious. Note that not all movies launched on a weekend, such as TASM, though I haven't gotten around to specifically noting the titles. Sequels are more frontloaded than origins or first entries in general, and the calendar also has an effect, as does the overall opening and box office.

Even Supergirl got positive reviews from critics, this means nothing.
Supergirl is a fairly successful show.
Anyway, we’re getting off topic here.

I suppose if you want to add further insult to injury for this movie, the TV show Titans, which was also ridiculed by the Internet quite a bit, is actually getting generally positive reviews so far.

I guess I just have trouble believing that a remake of one of Disney’s most successful properties of their Renaissance era would flop, regardless of it possibly being bad. I certainly have no interest in it, but people these days are suckers for a nostalgia cash grab. Then again, I wasn’t expecting Solo: A Star Wars Story to not even manage to cross $400 million worldwide, so who knows?

Oh they will stop making money for sure eventually, when they start considering making stuff like Home on the range. They will soon burn through all the top animated films. That day is coming, a lot sooner than we all think.
In any case, there’s no chance of Aladdin or especially The Lion King (how is that even going to be live action?) flopping, so this trend is going to continue for at least another few years.
-
Since this is most likely going to end up being distributed by Disney, I wonder if they’re banking on this franchise replacing Star Wars for a bit.
-
It’s only a matter of time before we get a live action Frozen. I wish Disney could show some restraint for once, but that won’t happen until these live action remakes stop making money, which doesn’t seem likely.
-
I can’t help but notice that a lot of the positive reviews for the movie seem to be praising it specifically in a so bad it’s good sort of way. That would explain why its Tomatometer score is currently higher than what a lot of people were expecting.

All this talk about social media bots and what not is only adding to my belief that the world would be a better place if Facebook and Twitter just went away.
Anyway, I look forward to seeing what the RT score for this movie ends up being.

These early blogger media reviews are significantly worse than ASM2 and DOFP and even JL - movies that ended in the 40s to 50s on RT
DOFP? That movie was well received.

Avatar: The Way of Water | 16 DEC 2022 | Don't worry guys, critics like it

I assume it’s because people don’t really talk about Avatar anymore. The movie made headlines back when it was released for its groundbreaking 3D effects, but 3D is mostly viewed as just some cheap gimmick these days, so the sequels might not be able to get by on that alone. To put it plainly, if anyone other than James Cameron was directing a bunch of Avatar sequels, they most likely would be written off as bombs.
