If there was one movie to which the line "special effects were good, rest was bad" applies then it's 2012.

It takes the cake really.

Eye in the Sky was pretty solid.  Unfortunately it's one of the last times we got to see Alan Rickman on screen

Really? The BFG wasn't that bad. It still had great moments of magic. The CGI was incredible in some of his lab scenes.

We have to face reality here .

A 2.4x is not bad.

A 2.4-2.7 for Superhero films are actually good as most of them open over 115+.

we can't expect every one to do a 2.8-3x when the bigger they are the harder they fall and that's the case for most of them.

What if Emmerich had directed LOTRs?

It didn't stay with me long (I'm just now remembering how it ends) but I thought the scenes where the little girl was running around trying not to be found contained some of his previous magic. It still had heart....but yeah a far cry from his previous work and a letdown considering the high hopes I had for it after the first teaser.

 

Different strokes for different folks again.

[CaptainJackSparrow]

My favorite movies this year so far are Logan and Life, hopefully Wonder Woman will be on that list.

[eddyxx]

I'm going to go see Wonder Woman again tomorrow in Imax. I want to watch.it again right now!

Well, it certainly can't get any worse.

It's pretty clear that Spielberg didn't have much to work with. It's definitely his weakest movie this decade.

I don't think the DCEU up to this point had bad WOM or good WOM.  All 3 previous films were divisive. I know people who adore Man of Steel and I'm one of them, it sold very well in home video sales, it had an okay audience rating on RT and it was close to being fresh, more critics gave it fresh than rotten.  

 

Batman v. Superman was somewhat restored by people enjoying the director's cut.  Some still hated but it was again divisive. 

 

Suicide Squad most people seemed to outright hate it but yet it had okay legs at the box office and sold huge on video. Why would that many people buy a film they hated?  I didn't like SS at all but numbers are numbers.  

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Ghost in the Shell has got to be at the bottom of the list for me this year sadly.
