  1. This is probably my favorite TF movie in that none of the humans pissed me off or annoyed me in any way. Even Bumblebee had some truly unbearable human characters. Had fun, wouldn’t mind more. Which is about the best thing I can say for this franchise.
  2. This has always been my most anticipated project for the year, so far reactions are quite encouraging. Just hope it can stick the landing.
  3. Probably would have gotten better reviews if there hadn't already been so many multiverse CBMs released in the last couple of years. At this point there's definitely some multiverse fatigue amongst reviewers and some of the audience. If NWH comes out this month it would not get the same level of reviews.
  4. I have a hard time seeing MI7 increase more than 50% from MI6. Would be very surprised if it did more than $350m dom.
  5. Trailer played very well in front of my TLM audience. I think some people underestimate how much women like these characters.
  6. No, holiday was on Monday, that's why we had the 4 day weekend.
  7. Just caught this. I wasn't sold on Halle in the trailers but she definitely owns the role, especially after she turns human. OTOH the other mermaids were all pretty terrible, especially in the cheesy final scene. Overall definitely worse than Aladdin, about on par with BatB. The new songs were all embarrassingly bad, I'm actually shocked LMM did these since I usually like his Disney songs. Princess Live Action Rankings: A: Cinderella - improves on the original in every way A-: Aladdin - mostly good and lots of fun, Speechless is the only good new songs in these remakes, however Jafar was a big stepdown from the animated version B: BatB/TLM - much worse than the original, especially the new songs, but not terrible on its own F: Mulan - dishonor on you, dishonor on your cow!
  8. Maybe it's just me but I like this trailer much more than any of the Guardians trailers. Iman Vellani is so charming and her enthusiasm is infectious.
  9. I would say it is definitely affecting fandom morale in general. Morale is at all time low right now and it’s hard to get hyped or enthusiastic about a new release, especially one that’s continuing the juvenile humor that people have been criticizing. This is why many people are excited about Secret Invasion’s trailer, because it shows a serious tone without the childish humor.
  10. Why do recent DC trailers all have such terrible music choices? The lyrics are always too on-the-nose and cringy.
  11. Fixing VFX won't fix script issues. Hopefully this is just the first step, and the Rick and Morty writers are the next to go. They really should just bring Marcus and McFeeley.
  12. This is the first MCU movie I did not watch opening weekend, and still have not bought tickets for. I will probably still watch it some time this month since I have A-list, but honestly I'm so over the whole multiverse plotlines and I just don't care about time travel/variants any more. It was fun for one movie/show, but by this point it just feels convoluted and tedious. At this point I'm not even sure how/if they can pull off A5/A6 with these writers.
  13. If this movie also has a script issue then the lesson is clear: do not hire Rick and Morty writers to write MCU movie, they're clearly not suitable. Bring back Marcus and McFeeley for A5/A6 and the saga is saved.
  14. These reactions are about what I expected after the trailers. My personal hype for this is extremely low after a disappointing AMatW, Evangeline, and recasting of OG Cassie. Still haven’t bought tickets yet. I just hope the setup pays off in the future.
