😱😑😲😂

Oh the cheap vibe. Lol i guess that's correct.

I mean that scene alone would make shazam too mature than anything on Disney...

Unlikely Reynolds had serious creative control over Deadpool.

Insult to what? Shazam was a memorable movie that is the most Donner Superman like movie ever. If that isn't real cinema, then what is?

8.4/10, A-. A little slow at the beginning even for my taste. Was hoping for more Margot, but man Leo and Brad were exceptional.

Thanks guys. Genuinely curious about the European vs American critics discrepancy now. Nevertheless, I am glad the world is enjoying the movie.

High life (2018).

9.2/10. The only movie that made me cry (well toy story 3 too). I would go higher but the ending just seemed way to simplified. I wish we could have seen Jonathan's original ending.

9.9/10. Arthur being bloodied and smiling at the end there is the greatest Joker moment ever.

Is there an cinemascore/imdb UK version? I'm curious to see if reactions differ and if it is a cultural thing

Eh. Deadline always is conservative with their projections. Buzz is way too strong for it not to have a 100m OW.

With deadline up to 92m, 100+ seems highly likely.

I'm not worried about the not great reception from the test screening. The movie out in June. If it happens to still be lukewarm by January, I'll panic. I trust Patty.

The devil has spoken.

Joker tickets are hot, hot, hot! Scotiabank Theatre Vancouver: AVX - Friday (1048/2538), 41%. Regular - Friday (422/1234), 34%. Added late. Cineplex Strawberry Hill: AVX - Friday (252/946), 27%. Regular - Friday (262/830), 32%. Added late. Cineplex Metropolis: AVX - F (608/1638), 37%. Regular - F (235/1114), 21%. Added late. Landmark New Westminster: Regular - F (64/102, 55/120, 66/92 ~ early showings, 90/120, 80/92, 92/102, 113/120, 80/86, 76/81, 75/86, 87/102, 103/120, 71/86 = 1052/1309, 80%!). Some context on these numbers: The first three theatres are owned by cineplex. These showings have majority of movie watchers (like 60%) book tickets on the day of the showing. Landmark usually has most people book early because they sell fast. For instance, Cineplex Strawberry hill has a Landmark nearby and that is sold at around 65%.

This was posted so late! Now i cant do my predictions :(. 102m for Joker.

Oh I agree with that he takes it too far. I mean he probably watched one movie and thought it was applicable to all, which is totally wrong. Like others have mentioned, part of the frustration must come with box office, not just for him but a lot of great directors.

How is that a great point? Real cinema is when we make it "weirder"?

I think after decades of shaping cinema and infleucing a generation of filmmakers, Scorsese would???? Lol. And sure the experiences differ. Scorsese and I believe from experience that most mcu movies offer nothing. Even suicide squad offers nothing. That it isn't real cinema, or at least to me, meaningful or influential. Scorsese is one of the greatest directors of all time. From his experience (which is greater than all of ours combined), mcu movies are incomparable to real cinema such as taxi driver the departed etc. You can't judge him for that. Disagree sure, your experiences are different. But judge him for comparing mcu movies to his definition of real cinema? Nope.

Imagine equating box office to quality. Don't doubt Scorsese and his thoughts. He's spent decades defining cinema. Put some respect on his name. Forget your fanboying.

😂 Also Scorsese point remains. 60% of the mcu is not real cinema. So isn't suicide squad nor josstice league for mcu stans about to troll me. Other movies such as Guardians and Avengers are exceptions, but I don't expect Scorsese to know these.

That's like a perfect rating for all those movies. Brazil has hreat taste wow. I predicted 14m, which resets the weekend a bit: Ima go with: 13.3/29-34/25-30/22-25/= 89.3-102.3.

I'd like to nominate myself. I believe that I could actually moderate the rules objectively.

Realistically no other one off character would create similar hype, it would have to be the people involved. A lex Luthor - Bradley Cooper lead and directed would be a great follow up. The Question - Birdman style film, no cuts. Lead by Guy Pearce, directed by David fincher. Blackhawk is still a possibility. Lobo - Michael bay lol? A Lucifer movie would be cool. The series has had some success. I don't know who would be involved though. These are some of my thoughts. Low budgets that can make 250-300m. Bonus: A game of thrones style r-rated Shazam movie. All kids fighting over the Wizard's throne.
