You are right. I tried to challenge but you are sadly, unfortunately right.
Although RDJ & Iron Man are just too formidable a combination for
any blockbuster to overcome.
Godzilla is rather dull & TASM2 is a lively popcorn entertainment that brings nothing new to the table.
Electro is not a great villain. The Rhino is almost a false advertisement.
XDOFP is OK, but looks like XMFC with better FX. Again too many new characters just pop out
& sprawling plot continuity that gets GA confused. Anyway who cares, it will clean up OS like
Spidey. And it is wrong not to bring Quicksilver to the weak finale
Careful there. This forum is full of Marvel FANatics.
The thousand nations of Marvelites descend upon you.
Their rant will blot out the sun (of reason).
Ever wonder why X MEN is predominantly European in casting?
McKellen, Stewart are all British. McAvoy is Scottish, Fassbender is German/Irish
Jackman is Australian but his parents are English.
$1B WW is expected. Looks to repeat & give what TF3 had done. Pirates 4 has a lousy story, that OS gross still hit $800M, it's just insane this franchise thing. People tend to love familiar heroes. But how far can you go? Will Pirates 5, if green lit at all, go to Deathly Hallows 2's fantastical $960M OS?
I think SHREK 4 did more than $500M OS
This one looks to be a strong candidate to outdo Wreck-It-Ralph $471M WW but rather doubtful it will reach Incredibles $631M WW
Another $200 million grosser?
A list of $200M grossers from the last 2 months:
CAP2 95/260
TASM2 91/215
GODZ 93/220
XMEN7 91/230
Do you see a strange pattern here...???
GODZ has some beautiful shots of monster rampage but it is thin for a movie with this kind of capital resource.
And it doesn't have to be that long, the scene in Hawaii could be compressed into the final fight.
The Vegas scene needs not to be shown at all. The military could be shown in a more active & positive
light: you know, saving folks from death & destruction instead of going gaga over Godzie like the GA:
"O my Godzie, my Gawdz!!" Shuddup put my tax dollars into work!
It's gonna be a huge OS year for Fox. Coming up : Dragon 2 ($500M), Apes 2 ($350M), Penguins of Madagascar ($400M), Night at the Museum 3 ($300M), Exodus ($300M). Exodus will do better OS number than Noah...hopefully.
