I mean obviously Schindler's List is a stretch, that was a real bad thing that happened to us and this is about CGI gorillas. That said, it has brutal violence, talk of mass exterminations, and torture in labor camps (all this is in trailers so no spoilers). I'm pretty sure that isn't going to be in Infinity War. 

 

In terms of tone, style, and feel, this actually felt most like Children of Men to me. Very similar vibe. And that movie fucking rocks, so.

 

 

There's only so much hype I can take for one movie.  Holy shit.  These next 3 and a half hours are gonna feel like an eternity.

It's just under 2 and half hours actually but yeah, it certainly feels like 3 and half... Oh, wait, you mean before it starts? I kid, I kid...

The movie is about two hours and ten minutes. Perfect length for any movie, especially the conclusion to a trilogy. Are attention spans getting so short that sitting still for a whopping two hours is too much now? Sad.

An 8.2 is fantastic. But an 83 on MC with 47 reviews is arguably even more impressive.

 

Altogether? It's outstanding.

 

Shh... don't tell JohnnyGossamer, though 

 

Eh, we can't all have good taste and think because Nolan has now done a WW2 movie, every other movie is just copying him.

It tracking at 60-65m doesn't mean a 70-75m opening.

 

Movies are just as likely to underperform their tracking as they are to overperform it (or hit the tracking).

 

Spot on. Just like Wonder Woman and then Spidey last week.

 

All hail Lord God King Deadline!!

Comparing it to Children of Men is a very high mark.

I wouldn't think so in the era of Netflix binge watching.   I just watched the last two episodes of Game of Thrones last night with no problem at all.

It is a bit different, most tv show binge watch will offer a big cliffhanger every 24 or 50 minutes to make sure you come back, it trick you it is an attention grabbing machine. And even then many bingewatch while looking to a second screen from time to time nowaday.

 

That said, 2 hours is certainly not too much for big movies nowaday, today big movies are much longer than the 90s, 4 hours epic would be maybe too long for today yes (in the past it was a show with an Entr'acte in the middle to give people a break and go to the bathroom), but certainly not 130/140 minutes.

It made 5 million dollars from the Thursday night previews. It could make 70 million dollars on it's opening weekend at the domestic box office.

I gotta get up at 2:30 am in the morning tonight for work but decided to go see some monkey business now anyways.

[The Futurist]

How many jokes we can find in this movie ?

 

[That One Girl]

This was the best movie of the year.  Holy shit.

[HesAPooka]

damn this got leaked online :(. really hope it doesn't impact the box office.

[SLAM!]

Film of the year so far for me.

[Ozymandias]

Best of the 3 movies and I don't think its really that close.  I think this is the first trilogy where it gets better with each movie.  Yes the solo Wolverine movies get better with each one but the first 2 suck.

 

I dug the first 2 movies but didn't think they were zomgwtf amazing.  There are some really amazing and heartfelt moments in this.  Woody Harrelson is a brutal asshole but you completely understand his motivation(which is rare in a big summer movie) and theres a moment in the this where you actually kinda pitty him.  And needless to say Caesar is the best CG creation since Gollum.

if the continue

Spoiler

should Andy come back as Ceaser's son?

 

[Harpospoke]

Pretty great movie.   Didn't feel too long either.   Reeves is definitely my favorite director now.

Is this script considered an original screenplay or an adapted screenplay?
