Spidey Freak Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 (edited) Iron Man 3 wasn't even a serious superhero movie and I don't know how if could be considered one if it didn't have Iron Man in the title. It was a farce comedy with remote controlled suits. Just 'coz it didn't take itself as seriously as Syrian conflicts like one MoS doesn't mean it was a farce comedy. It had its themes under its lightheartedness, actually making it layered. Even if it were a farce (which it wasn't, satire is a more fitting word), it had a lot more to tell than MoS which was all pretense.

ecstasy Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 This is bizzare that conjuring is beating up on PR? lol Having seen both I can see why. Conjuring is easy enough to latch onto. It's a good little mystery horror. It reminded me of The Innocents or The Turn of The Screw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bapi Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Cheap trailers, average reviews and 6th X-Men movie in 14 years when only 3 of them are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it were a farce (which it wasn't, satire is a more fitting word), it had a lot more to tell than MoS which was all pretense. And that's exactly why Iron Man 3 is one of my all time favorite superhero films and easily the best Iron Man film to date. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZattMurdock Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 MOS deserves it. It's literally all style and no substance, which is Snyder down to a tee so I'm not surprised. I don't blame Snyder not even half as much as I do with Goyer's screenplay. I wish MoS and the sequels had a different screenwriter, a real good one paired with a visual actor like Snyder could be incredible, and that would make me very excited. Unfortunately that wasn't the road that Warner took. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poseidon Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 The Conjuring really is one of the stories of the summer. Looks like a drop in the 43-46% range, that's spectacular. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 TW may be disappointing DOM but it is scoring 2nd best OS opening of year-to-date, only behind IM3. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kinda sad for seeing not opening as huge as I've hoped for, but as I've been saying,anything over $60m would make me happy, so I'm good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poseidon Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 TW may be disappointing DOM but it is scoring 2nd best OS opening of year-to-date, only behind IM3. Yeah, great achievement, it opened in every major market other than China and Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Well, blame other big movies like WWZ, MU, DM2 and MoS that they did not open in many OS markets during OWs ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what those numbers mean and to celebrate Wolerine as the second biggest OW of the year is ridiculous, as it means nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poseidon Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 A record is still a record. Yeah great. Give a Wildcard to a 5 year old in the 100m world championships finale. Bolt and 6 others have a false start and the 5 year old is world champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zackzack Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 (edited) Sorta disappointing for Wolverine. The Conjuring's hold makes up for it though. Well, I kinda expect it to do $70M OW but at least there is still a substantial fan base for the character, and not bombing at $30M+ Edited July 27, 2013 by zackzack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
