MagnetMan Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I just took my youngest to see MU while the wife and oldest went to TLR. I got to walk in on the last 35 minutes of TLR. I can't say that I liked the implausible action sequences. They were entertaining overall... but it was like the action in the A-Team movie. All too convenient, convoluted instances of action. That being said, I found Hammer very likable and wouldn't mind going to see it in its entirety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forg Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) At first I thought The Minions movie is a silly idea but given how beloved they are by the audience (and for me they are the ones that kept DM2 from being a total dud) I now think it could really work. I was at the local theater yesterday and boy the lines were long. DM2 is a big part of that as it is behaving like a superhero/HP/Twilight movie here but it does not have the lion share of screens (90%+) like those movies so it won't open on the same level of those movies but it's still going to be huge. Animated flicks from Disney-Pixar/Dreamworks do well here but not really huge numbers (over 100 million pesos in gross) and the last really big animation movie here was Toy Story 3. Ice Age movies are solid box office performers as well but not long-lines-in -the-theater popular. I remember watching DM1 in half empty theater back then and The Lorax flopped here. The popularity of the minions is just so impressive, they even have features on local news! I never thought that they would be this BIG here in the Philippines.

MovieMan89 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) But you compared them wrong; they should only be compared within the year of release. A well done comparison would've beenToy Story 3 (415M) vs. Despicable Me (251M)Cars 2 (191M) vs. Hop (108M)Brave (237M) vs. The Lorax (214M)DM2 will beat MU, but that's the first time in Illumination's first four movies. Not a trend.I compared them as the last 3 animated movies both studios have released from lowest gross to highest. Whats unfair about that? Or of your stick on them having to be the same year then just add up the cumulative gross of the 3 and you get the same resul. Illumination wins. And Hop was not animated so it can't be used in an animation comparison Edited July 7, 2013 by MovieMan89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I missed Place Beyond the Pines in theaters. Anxious for its Blu-ray release. I missed Mud. It's playing one theater that's just too much of a hassle to get to. I had a two month window and I blew it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forg Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) I'm going to rank the 4 animated movies I've seen this year: 1. The Croods 2. Monsters University 3. Despicable Me 2 4. Epic - Epic has the more developed story than DM2 but well the minions gags were just too fun so it edges out Epic. I like MU a lot but I'm a sucker for a good family-centric story so The Croods wins Edited July 7, 2013 by forg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayumanggi Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Damn, looks like DM2 crashed the party this year. Not really a big deal. Pixar has been crashing the party for years. Give chance to others. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 You haven't even seen Before Midnight yet, have you! Rich, you're wasting your life! Before Midnight is coming up on Monday! I'm aiming for three movies next week. My lady's working everyday so I'll hopefully have some time to get a flick in. She's made it very clear she's not seeing Pacific Rim.

shayhiri Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 What is Mud about? I just assumed it was stupid based on the name. Mud is a great little movie - obviosuly, since it landed a place on my Top 30 for the year. A bit boring though. Liked the director Jeff Nichols's previous (Take Shelter - 10/10) much better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted July 7, 2013 Founder / Operator Share Posted July 7, 2013 Nichols is about to explode in a way not terribly dissimilar from Nolan. Watch it happen. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
