Thurs numbers Gravity 1.4M (make a separate thread for Fri #s)

[A Marvel Fanboy]

I bet in 2 years there probably will be as many Gravity haters as Avatar haters.

 

Good luck.

Good to know. Made almost 10x OWs but eventually still a meh movie and disliked by people. good ... good ...

Truth hurts.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Yeah, truth in your world. You defined it.

[Plain Old Tele]

AVATAR's a great, entertaining movie. It's needlessly (and pointlessly) overhated.

[Jandrew]

that's what you original said.

 

Notice there is "people think" in you statement. "people think its better than Avatar" is different from "it's better than Avatar".

 

Your "people" are just some guys that post on twitter. 

 

Sophistry

 

Avatar has better legs = Avatar is better received by people = people (in general) liked it more = people think it is better # it is better objectively ≠ “You realize what you're basically saying is Alvin and the Chipmunks is better than The Dark Knight”

 

You took "people think" away and make me to be subject. brilliant.

 

I have no idea what you're saying. Youre looking way too hard into this. Debate over. You win.

Nope, because Gravity is not a chick flick, and it won't be the highest grossing film of all time.

Where I live there were no midnight showings, only 10-11pm.

It's one thing when It's driven by quality, like Argo, and another when it's driven because of movie experience (In that case, the special effects and the 3D)

Probably not.  I hear its a great and intense thriller with great performances in it.

Entertaining yes, but I wouldn't say great

[Plain Old Tele]

Entertaining yes, but I wouldn't say great

 

In a cheerfully pulpy, populist way, yes. It's no deep masterpiece, but it's a hell of a fun, well-told (often told) story.

My big fat Greek weeding had 80x legs from 3 million wide opening and few people think it is a masterpiece... I know: a 77 million OW is not comparable to a 3 million OW, but what I mean is that numbers do not fix if a movie is good or bad. I do not consider Avatar a bad movie, but it is not THAT GOOD movie in order to have reached that amount of money. It is obvious that 3D revolution was decisive to get what it did and that is a James Cameron merit, but if we remove the technological revolution, the movie is, IMHO, one blockbuster more.

There are countless beloved blockbusters that, if we remove the technological revolution, either wouldn't be anything special, or wouldn't be any good at all.

A perfect way to conclude this Avatar discussion would be:

 

"Avatar is great in some people's eyes. Avatar is not great in some other people's eyes. Avatar is the best movie of all time in some people's eyes. Avatar is a piece of shit in some other people's eyes."

 

 

I think that's pretty constructive.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Such discussion is tiring and meaningless. move away.

 

Gravity is just coming out. It is exciting a lot people. Maybe they will judge better when chill down.

 

I would rather focus more on finding good and beautiful films from now on.

Please dont compare Gravity with Avatar. Thats laughable.

 

Avatar changed the industry. What Gravity will become is still up in the air.

Avatar changed the industry for the worse.

Fuckin 3d everywhere.
