I'm kind-ish to Godzilla because it gave me one of my true great loves, a big main title sequence.

 

Just like SM3 incidentally.

Bring them back!

[grim22]

Its the only sequel better than its predecessor...

 

Didn't realize this until you brought up this point, but Age of Ultron is the first MCU sequel to decrease both domestic and WW from the first movie.

[CJohn]

GODZILLA! There's a movie directed with style and energy!

Gareth Edwards shows huge potential. Shame about ATJ sleeping through the whole thing.

im3 is better than 2.

[CJohn]

I agree with Ethan on something

 

Lawd help me

I think you need to rewatch IM1 enough times until you bump his grade above IM3.

No studio, suits interference, are you sure ?

[Rman823]

Even though it's in my bottom 3 of MCU movies I'll take Iron Man 2 anyday over Thor 2.

[MovieMan89]

It is really sad that MCU can't seem to help but go so cliche on its sequels. I feel like if  their sequel track record were as good as their non-sequel one, they would get very little hate and truly be considered the mecca of CBMs.

[Chewy]

IM3 is better than all of the Marvel movies except Avengers

 

I'm surprised we haven't gotten a TDKR-ish baumer reversal on it yet. Maybe he hasn't rewatched it

[CJohn]

lol well marvel's version of sinking is 74% on Rotten Tomatoes and a billion dollars I guess. 

Marvel's version of sinking has a 62% RT (lmao, should be much lower but dat Edward Norton power with critics) and was a flop WW.

[ACSlater]

Should have worded it better...meant the original kickoff movie when I meant predecessor...

Almost every actor except Cranston was somnambulant.  When it's endemic I blame the director.

Before it was truly a franchise and Disney owned it. So that movie is kind of irrelevant to the discussion in other words.

What happens if Gambit makes more in it's OW than F4's entire DOM run? If Apocalypse and Deadpool are good people will show up.

 

DOOM!!

Legendary Pictures is known for not interfering heavily in movies. Tbh I really doubt Godzilla had any studio interference. If FOX had that movie in hands they would delete everything between the first time we see Godzilla until the end and would put the final battle as a continuation of the first appearance.

MARVELING at the true bombage before us. Perfect storm of terrible reviews, awful word-of-mouth and bad publicity. Oddly enough, it brings me back to the August of my youth. An August that brought us such classics as House Arrest, Carpool and The Avengers.

ddddddduuuuuuddddeee Color of Night (from August 1994) is the best movie ever. Except it isn't. I wish they still made unwatchable bombs like that.

Can't wait to see how they are gonna handle back to back massive Marvel sequels. I have a feeling they will sink.

Love how Antman is ignored lol

[grey ghost]

It's not easy to beat IM or Avengers. Thor 2 should've been better but Marvel was on cruise control.

[DAJK]

Anyone want to guess what movie sold the most tickets at our theatre for the matinee today. This movie doubled anything else.

 

No? No?

 

Shaun the Sheep

Nah, it was really just ATJ.

Lmao, because of course it is. IM2 was released before Disney took over as well. I guess it doesn't count either.
