Dementeleus Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Sports are live, people watch them live. My friend, surely you realize there's situations when people aren't able to watch a live event, yet still care enough to DVR it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandias Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) He wasn't suddenly a good guy, it was made really clear well before that point that he was basically the "the equalizer" if creatures like the MUTOs appeared. Plus, he's been the "good guy" for pretty much all the original movies (as far as I know, anyway, I'm not a huge Godzilla expert). I thought Godzilla was after the MUTOs for most of the movie because he saw them as more of a threat to his survival than humans, not because he was an "equalizer"? Either way, still disappointing.

DAR Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I was driving home after golfing and a stop at a bar for dinner and went past a local theater. Parking lot looked pretty full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orestes Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Marketing aside, I liked Godzilla, too. Still would've preferred Cranston had been the lead, or at least Olsen, but whatever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as Godzilla movies go it definitely could have been much worse (1998 film and plenty of others). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterDodsen Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I don't mean to be a Debbie-downer here, I mean, I liked this movie and am glad for all the financial success it is getting. But... I have a feeling this movie will go above 600M. I don't know why it bothers me, but the number 600,788,188 - even though it was surpassed by both Avatar and Avengers - just has a special significance that I really don't want anymore movies to surpass. Yes, I'm a Titanic lover, so I'm a little biased. However, I know that even if Jurassic World does eventually get to that threshold, I know that Titanic destroys everything in its wake in regards to Ticket Sales. But anyway... Go Jurassic World... Go Universal... kick the world's ass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Universal... kick the world's ass! Don't feel bad. Titanic had the best run any of us have ever seen or will ever see. It's the best BO run of modern times and maybe the very best of all-time period. No amount of ticket price inflation and gimmicks like IMAX or 3D will change that. Besides, JP4 has a long, long way to go before 600 is realistically in play for it. I'll be pleasantly surprised if it actually gets there.

My grandparents hadn't been to the cinema since the late 40's and they even went to see Titanic in the theaters. I also remember my grandfather pointing out that there was two different takes regarding the scene when Dicaprio pencil's Kate. Anyhow, he noticed an explicit difference that a 85 year old at the time probably shouldn't have. Anyhow, that is another story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avengers was the first team up of universally loved characters. Jurassic World is the fourth sequel in a 22 year old franchise. Nothing against JW but just feels slightly less special now, that 600 Million spot. Edited June 17, 2015 by LaneFair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a very rare number at the time, even rarer in terms of initial run than 600 is today. Nostalgia factor was enormous for TPM just like we're seeing with JP4. Maybe it just goes to show how special Star Wars and Jurassic Park are in pop culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fail to see how JW being the 4th entry (not sequel) in 22 years makes it less special than a film that was the culmination of 5 previous films in 4 years.
