Rolling Stone

Dec 19, 2013 - Argo screenwriter Chris Terrio, who won an Oscar, has signed on to work on the as-yet-untitled Man of Steel sequel that will feature both ...

 

Goyer is not a top writer. Try Towne, Goldman, Bird, Darabont, Kasdan, Zaillian these are great writers.

There wasn't anything brave or daring in MoS. And Henry Cavill (rightfully) got criticized for his severe lack of screen presence despite his beauty.But that scene in the end was not daring. Especially not in a post-TDK world. MoS is a turd.

 

Brave or daring? Man of Steel? Yeah....hahahahahaha. Only a person who only watches summer blockbusters could say that. Hell, even then, there are summer blockbusters ten times more daring than Man of Steel.

Kasdan is a great writer? LMFAOThe guy who wrote ROTJ?

So Guardians could (should) become the #1 movie of the summer. Who would have thought?I was thinking 80/225 till yesterday but it did even better.

Can we not talk about MOS here, pretty please?

I really doubt 15% increase. I think 0-5%.

Really, it's basically A New Hope and Trek 09 colored with the Marvel universe.

 

Now it's definitely not as good as A New Hope, but it's definitely on par with Trek 09, maybe a bit better.

GOTG

 

Best space opera since Empire Strikes Back

 

You're welcome

 

Well at least in the Bay Area

This is actually a good book

[Jawa]

So we're derailing this thread to bitch about Snyder/MOS. Hey, while we're rehashing years-old arguments, can someone remind me how much the prequels suck? 

[Ethan Hunt]

On this level?

[Dementeleus]

Guys, stop with the MOS and MOS-related stuff. Take it to Marvel vs. DC.

[AdamKendall]

This site sucks when people can't shut the hell up about MOS.  I liked it, others didn't ... move on to this awesome opening day # for Guardians.

What are you gonna do? Throw your walking stick at us?

You're not new around here. WTF are you talking about? We've seen multiple blockbusters open big on the same weekend in years past. Audience overlap, my ass. 

Really? So, let me see, we have a 73M Apes, a 44M Lucy and a 30M Hercules. Starting checking one weekend anywhere where 3 movies (or 2 if their totals match) opened this high. And please, chose weekends with 2 adult movies. Not a MU/WWZ bullshit. 

[tonytr87]

Perhaps all audiences want are non-sequels/reboots/remakes. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Edge of Tomorrow is the only original semi-bust this summer, and in that case you clearly blame the marketing for making it look wholly unoriginal. 

[CJohn]

What are you gonna do? Throw your walking stick at us?

Nah, he is gonna ban you.

I want a successful critically and box office wise Green lantern movie.

 

If done right (unlike that 2011 film we got) a Green Lantern movie could be awesome.

The Winter Solder increased 29.5%
