    Seems to be a lot of disagreement on whether the characters were well-developed. Some of them praise them as the best part of the movie while others say they are the weak point.
  2. Menor the Destroyer
    Sure, it could happen, but not a good idea to generalize from a single review.

    Dune in my last run was at 133758/565547, $1556261, based on yesterday should finish at 1.7ish million. Yesterday final was 1.5 million. With the MTC2 ratio increasing on Sat, thinking 10% bump.

    Nah, even if you squint I don't see anything in AoU's third act that can be characterized as a "skybeam"

    I also think around Dune RT score from my reactions gut, just a tad worried from a few things I've seen. I think I tend to be more fearful when it's a movie I've been really excited for.

    Actually this is the most uncertain I've been about reviews for an MCU movie in a while. Could see it being a tad polarizing though still should be good.

    Manipulative is such a strong word lol. It's just marketing like any other movie, sometimes it's misleading. Also what's this fan war thing about Dune being anti superhero? That was never part of the marketing. Villeneuve gave a (imo dumb) take on the MCU in an interview but the marketing never was about that.

    I thought there was plenty of personality. I don't think characters need to be demonstrative to be different from each other. In fact I thought Jessica was too emotive. I do think that Gurney, who is supposed to add a lighter touch, was played far too seriously by Josh Brolin. His quotations felt more ponderous than witty.

    Well if Deadline is expecting 80 million for Eternals, guess 100 is locked.

    The more I think about the ending, it works pretty well for me. It was the right place to cut it off. Paul's transformation is evident.

    On 92% verified score, RT audience score wins again.
  12. Menor the Destroyer
    But there was a weird pre reaction bump iirc, which looked like a fluke but has sustained since then.
  13. Menor the Destroyer
    Hell yes, party time.
  14. Menor the Destroyer
    12-13 per Rth.
  15. Menor the Destroyer
    I feel like it should be 12.5 million at the very very least even if MTC1 does bad today but Charlie's method is usually sound so trying to figure out where the discrepancy is.
  16. Menor the Destroyer
    Dune in my last run was 115016/533833, $1367526. Should go for 130k+ unless late night walkups are bad. I think 13m is the floor and 13.5-14 is possible. Though @charlie Jatinder seems to think lower from the same MTC2 number so not sure.
  17. Menor the Destroyer
    Oh boy. I could see that but would not be a fan. Ahsoka even being involved with the galactic civil war just opens up a huge can of worms. Would prefer if she was doing some mystic Force stuff.

    Flashbacks to the Twilight of the Apprentice duel as exposition for fans not familiar with the animated series?
  19. Menor the Destroyer
    92% verified audience score, Cinemascore will be A or A-, I don't see any evidence of bad WOM. Sure, it may be frontloaded, but that will be more due to fan heaviness and streaming release than any bad reaction to the film.
  20. Menor the Destroyer
    I am impressed by the way it's sold post social bump. Expected a bit of a drop but has just kept going.
  21. Menor the Destroyer
    Or both?
  22. Menor the Destroyer
    13 isn't worst case, it's just where I think it's heading. I could see it going lower if it just falls off completely at night.
  23. Menor the Destroyer
    Visuals look good in this one, better than what we've seen previously. Shadar Logoth seems like it will be nice. And I was loving it right up until the end, when (spoilers for the books in case someone is reading through this thread later):
  24. Menor the Destroyer
    Dune midday is at 80724/534169, $965536. I think it's heading for 120k+, which will be ~70% of Bond at least. Given that MTC1 has a better ratio, I think 13 million Friday is where it's headed.
  25. Menor the Destroyer
    Including Robin is one thing (and I fully support including him) but I don't think this particular movie would work. Generally people do want a decent dose of action from superhero movies.
