YA movies are silly and annoying. Hope all attempts in that genre fail, so they stop being made and more resources could be used for superhero films and real sci-fi films.

Superhero films already get all the resources. But I agree on sci-fi films.

Why?

 

He's Firedeep. That's why. lol

It fits perfectly!

Disney still has Winter Soldier coming up; they can funnel a few extra bucks Frozen's way to help the push for $400m.

Well, studios have put a lot of resources into sci-fi films recently. They've just mostly been terrible and flopped

More resources?! Really? looool

[BoxOfficeFangrl]

Oh, let's get rid of the YA movies that *cough* incidentally have strong appeal to girls/women. Because superhero/sci-fi/action movies are never formulaic or derivative, and are so rarely made.

This would sit better in the "Unpopular movie opinions" thread, but i'm really starting to hate Frozen. Sorry, have to say it.

They don't make enough movies for men. We need more

I was with you till you spoke about superhero films getting the resources. I would much rather have original properties, like Inception, get those resources.That's not to say SH movies are bad, but we've gotten so many of them that a break would be nice.

Divergent looks to have way more appeal to makes than Twilight based on that ratio. Even slightly more than THG

This is pretty surprising to me since every trailer reaction I saw for Divergent sounded more like Twilight (screaming fan girls) than any other YA property I've seen.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Yeah, of course, some are still in middle school, so for ya probably too early to get over with YA ...

 

Understandable.

When it got out kind of almost like it. I rated Frozen with a 6.5/10.Now people talk and talk AND TALK and keep TALKING about Frozen like its the best movie of all time... so forget about The Godfather, Scorsese, Kubrick, etc, etc, we have FROZEN people....!

Movie had more action than I was expecting. A huge amount of gun battles in the end

It's a cartoon with a great message regardless of gender, IMHO.

‘Divergent’ Debut Sends Lionsgate Stock Sliding, What's Behind the Fall

So Divergent underperformed.

[Shawn Robbins]

In fairness, I can see how discussing it for nearly four months might get old for those who weren't fans of it. That's just the nature of the game, though. After movies like Avatar, Dark Knight, Inception, Avengers, etc., I think it's fair that a female-centric musical gets the limelight for once.
