Star Wars Tuesday - 37.3M (Tele/baumer bet for Wednesday drop is on page 24...much to learn one of them still has)

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

The Blue hero shot at the end is one of the funniest moments in film this year. Such a dumb movie, but pretty entertaining. Don't need to see ever again though.

RaptorRexPig. Half raptor, half T-rex, half pig!

Chris Pratt's Raptor pen, arms out scene is pretty much on the same level as TA's circle shot for modern iconic scenes. Same with the Raptors running by the motorcycle and the giant water dino eating the flying one. For better or for worse, the movie is memorable. 

Exactly. The scenes are at the same level and both are iconic. Everyone knows those scenes and there are tons of memes with them in the Internet even today.

Pretty much defines 2015

 

Messy blockbuster but wide appealing = big dollars. 

Avengers came out in the wrong year then . But I guess we had the sequel doing a huge 450M DOM so it is also here representing itself as a messy blockbuster with wide appeal.

[Lordmandeep]

As I said before,

 

JW was a wide appealing movie and more appeal to the general audience then even the likes of TA and other huge hit films.

However, it lacks a hard core fan base to remember  and talk endlessly about it like Nolanites, SW fans, Marvelites.

 

Sure there were memes at release, I was psyched about the Raptors running with Hero on the cycle, but 6 months latter?

JW is such an epic mess the more I see it. Don't get me wrong, I think it's dumb summer fun, but man is it dumb summer fun. 

JW final fight >>>>TFA final fight by a mile.

I may actually still prefer Avatar to TFA. Haven't decided yet. I know I prefer Avatar's world building and immersion to almost any other movie. 

 

Hell no to JW though. 

none of three 3 movies are good.

[Lordmandeep]

I would say fast 7, AOU, JW and even SW7 were all messy mega blockbusters.

 

They were all fun to watch in different ways in the end...

6 months later they are still remembered and used in memes lots of times like the Avengers stuff.

Jw is not iconic in any way.

 

TA has the circle shot, Avatar has epic special effects. 

JW is very much iconic. Don't get the hate for it. 

Because it's terrible. Regardless of my feelings about it, I don't think some of you know what "iconic" really means.

That is your opinion, the thing is  TA had a whole universe it elevated into peoples mind so that makes it different from JW.

 

JW did not really set up a sequel really. 

[WrathOfHan]

JW is a decent popcorn flick that people overrated the shit out of. I'll rewatch it when it's on HBO.

Jurassic Park Legacy has a pretty big collection of fans who discuss it endlessly. They're there, but obviously not as large in numbers as Marvel or Star Wars fans.

If those shots I and MovieMan mentioned aren't iconic then the heroes circle in Avengers isn't either.

I might have to agree here. They have problems, but I love them (except Ultron, but I don't hate it either, there is tons of cool stuff in it and it is very enjoyable).

Well technically "iconic" just means its representative or a symbol of something. It certainly doesn't mean the same thing as "beloved." Most people know those shots from JW, they stand out in their minds immediately as soon as you mention the movie. They are iconic shots.

Endless debates over if you can run away from a TRex in high heels I bet..

 

Likely have their own version of BKB and Excel Ijack with ten paragraph posts.

Did you watch the same movie I did? 

 

And btw, I agree 100% with the part above. But that is a different discussion.
