Boring, uninspired, predictable, badly made. I love it. There's nothing I can add that's not already been said in this thread. It's an A.

So I was unfortunate enough to be dragged to see this movie. I don't know anything about the books and have no expectations going in. Man, it was just bad. The only nice thing is some set pieces and CGI, everything else is simply hard to watch. Actings are so so at best, dialogues are cringe-worthy, excessive expositions that went nowhere. And it seems like the movie went on and on, nothing exciting and substantial happened. The love triangle: LOL, that's the only response I can think of. There's no chemistry between the leads at all for any kinds of relationships to be convincing, let alone romance. Direction and editing are sloppy. The movie failed at story-telling. After watching it, I have absolutely no desires to check out the books. It's easily the worst movie I've seen this year. My friend who dragged me to see this hated the movie and seemed angry about it even more than I did (maybe it has something to do with the fact that she paid for both tickets and popcorn/drinks ) As usual for us after a bad movie, frozen yogurts were consumed and we moved on, never wanting to discuss about it again.I rarely gave out this grade cause I can usually find something redeemable about a bad movie, but I had no enjoyment watching TMI, it was really a waste of time. So F.

20k for me. Meh.

I know. Damn it!BTW, should I be concerned that nobody bothered to make a thread for weekend actuals?

Crossing fingers for both 2 Guns and World's End to drop with actuals.

I thought it's gonna open on August 31st, which is Saturday.Edit: Never mind, it's the 30th.

Yeah, that sounds reasonable. 2.5M for 2-day, right?

Any prediction for MOS from Corpse?

Exactly. People got carried away sometimes.

Awesome. It'll likely remain the No.2 Hollywood movies of the year in HK. At the moment, I don't see any future releases that can challenge it. IM3 is No.1, MU is No.2; that sounds very good to me

In 2012, TASM grossed more than MIB3 OS.

So Jobs jumped around 69% for Friday. Damn it!

Is that good for Trek?

Druv, you're already safe?

Too bad, it won't happen

No number for Jobs?

It'll make around 1M+ for Mon-Thu next week. 1.5M for 4-day weekend will be done I think, and if Fox expanded TC, it'll be easier.

But MU is doing pretty well so far, right? I mean, for a Pixar movie especially.I remembered that most were expecting about 20M for MU from China, and it looks like the movie will do that and more. So I'd taken that as a good result.

Wouldn't Cap2 be not so much a wise choice since you know, it's Captain America and all? Well, can't say I complain if it's released in China. I hope for the best for Cap BO in China then.GOTG will be interesting to see.

I wonder what movies will Disney push for release next year in China?

How do you like MU?

How did THG do in China? Do you think CF is in good position for a substantial gross?

Great for STID. 20M is a good target now. Maybe even more.
