  1. The general audience rewarded Transformers for being mindless, but simple action. "The Force Awakens" was kind of like that, but from everything we're being told about "Rise of Skywalker," its story is noticeably distracting, which is why I can't see word of mouth being enough to push this into "Aladdin" legs.
  2. In the Bay Area, which is a very theater-friendly region compared to other markets, the majority of Sunday afternoon and evening showings in our biggest theaters have still sold exactly zero seats. Two weeks ago, I thought opening weekend would be just under TLJ, but now, pending massive turnaround in audience reception (which has stagnated greatly) to Star Wars, I can't see how this crosses $200 million.
  3. Wooooooow... Am I actually going to watch this in theaters? I believe I am. Would've been fantastic to have the flight scenes filmed with IMAX cameras.
  4. Oooooooh, got it. I haven't seen the one from a couple years ago, so I thought it was a remake, not a sequel.
  5. Wait... this is the... third one? I thought there were only two? Do you know what were the expected drops for next weekend and if they are much different now?
  6. I'm late, but this is spot on. I waited weeks to see this movie, because "Endgame" was the peak for me - and this just goes to further that case even more. I'm even more nervous about "Black Widow" now and have growing anxiety regarding "The Eternals."
  7. I had massive Madame Web vibes during this point in the sequence. For all the other Spider-Man characters that have been used, plus other characters being talked about, it would be really cool to have her incorporated into the MCU.
  8. Also, I'm heading to the "Endgame" thread to brag about this, but I want some form of currency from each and every person who insisted to me that the MCU was now a multiverse, that there are now like forty-two different Steve Rogers running around, and that tHe RuSsO BrOtHeRS cOnFiRmEd tHe MuLtIvErSe iS ReAl AnD yOu'Ll sEE iN "FaR FrOm HoMe."
  9. I just got back from this and... uhhhh... It wasn't... horrible and it wasn't great, but it straddled good. I'm not sure now if Tom Holland can carry the franchise like Robert Downey, Jr. did. This movie made it glaringly obvious how much of a glue to the MCU that he was... and it might be irreplaceable glue. The post-Hulk Snap world is already bright and cheery and back together a mere eight months after everyone returns to life? I thought Jake's portrayal was much too cartoonish and overacted. Happy and May...? Huh?? The transition from non-tingly Peter to tingly Peter was... ehhh... We go from Mysterio using an illusion to fake like he's been hit by a stray bullet, to him standing with a gun to Peter's head... to him laying on the ground dying? What did I miss in this sequence of events? ...other than Peter just leaving him on the floor, supposedly dead. This movie seemed was not paced well at all and the last third was a big mess. Except for... J.K. SIMMONS, WHAT THE HELL!?!?!?!?!? EDIT: Another positive... the IMAX expanded ratio transitions were really well done. At first I was supremely annoyed, 'cause I thought the lesser IMAX screen I was watching the movie on (compared to the one at the Metreon in downtown SF) wasn't expanding properly, but then I realized it was and I just wasn't noticing the transitions. Well done.
  10. What are you talking about?!?!!?? The five-ten thousand year history of modern humans is tots more relevant and important than any measly millions of years of biological evolution! Anyway, characters that are carbon-clone copies of older, better characters are usually bad, but has there ever been a wannabe-clone copy character for the sake of divurshuty that hasn't been god-awful? Speaking of original female characters with character flaws, anyone recall "Xena: Warrior Princess," that super unpopular show with that unoriginal female character that women-hating "manbabies" despised that wasn't twice as more popular than its counterpart show "Hercules?" It's like creating a character that serves some other purpose than to tell an opposite demographic that would usually not have any opposition to said character that they are wretched scum of the earth... actually facilitates in the enjoyment of said character among all.
  11. I have been told that stating such sound logic is considered "trolling." Tread carefully.
  12. I feel like I saw it fairly often during the NBA Playoffs and NBA Finals too. I'm going to give this a go, possibly during opening weekend. It caught my interest from the first time I saw the trailer, and the positive feedback so far is making me want to support.
  13. The initial trailer for this was uninspiring, and I doubt the new one will be much better. That being said, if Disney can come up with a semi-original Snow White sidestory, why can't they just do the same for these other movies they're remaking? 🙄 I'd think it'd be rather interesting to have watched Adam become Beast, as opposed than the insipid remake they gave us a few years back. I'd rather see a semi-original movie focused on Jasmine, not a bland remake of the original "Aladdin." I'd rather watch a semi-original movie - like a prequel for instance - of "The Lion King," rather than an unnecessary remake. And so on.
  14. What do you mean by "The rest...?" I'm thinking about seeing this, but I didn't like "Hereditary," and very much dislike "shock porn" movies, so does this one fall into that category?
