Agreed. That being said, the Disney films are very, very solid so I would rather them focus on starting by adapting novels/material that hasn't really been touched yet by those versions.

I enoyed Prince Caspian's movie more than I enjoyed the book .

Oh the delightful Hasbroian neorealism of Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.

Barbie review: Welcome to Greta Gerwig's fiercely funny, feminist Dreamhouse

The Barbie movie could’ve been another forgettable, IP-driven cash grab. Instead, the director of Little Women and Lady Bird has crafted a neon pink delight.

I think WB's second half of 2023 is going be a lot stronger than the first half. 

[Brainbug]

Yeah.

 

This is going to open to 200M isnt it.

or maybe it stays in 80s

Let's hope. The next 10 were promising.

[roxas11]

Honestly I would have been happy if the movie had gotten a 70 on Rotten tomatoes, but it looks like is going to end up in the 80s or 90s 

 

all in all congrats to everyone involved with this film since it looks like warner bros finally got the major hit that they desperately needed after the flash was such a huge disaster for them

First time in a long time you have a choice between two really well reviewed movies to go to.

[Krissykins]

Excellent. Sounds like it’s very unique and a total trip.

 

Audiences are clearly ready for something fresh and different.
