I have this really really strange feeling, in the worst case scenario that JL will make Flash do a fart or poop joke and if that happens I'm blaming the balding guy!

Yeah, because Whedon is known for puerile scatological humor...   He's not James Gunn 

 

I really liked GOTG2 more than GOTG1 (which I found miss more than hit in the humor dept) - but damn that never ending turd joke.

What does Mr Pink have to do with any of this?

All humor is subjective ... well all art is but maybe especially humor. 

 

I've disliked or out right hated most of the popular comedies of the last few years like the Jump Streets and Spy.

 

My favorite two of the last couple years were Hunt For The Wilderpeople and What We Do In The Shadows so I assume the humor in this will hit the mark for me.

I didn’t laugh once at Spy. I still don’t see how it received the reviews it did.

Seems good to me.

Spy received those reviews because it's a great comedy.

 

Anyway, that's a great number, I was thinking 42mil.

FTR I thought it was decent if behind GOTG2 and HC, both which I thought were pretty good. 1st act has some obvious post production tinkering and I didn’t feel much for characters that do eat it (unlike GOTG2) but I giggled enough many times with the Anglo influence on the comedy at times a nice MCU differential plus I enjoyed the Kirby/1980s influenced world building and first MCU non-compilation soundtrack I actually liked beyond one cue.

 

Cate and Goldblum are great fun, even if their villain characters are a step back from Ego and Vulture in terms of the writing, unfortunately.

It's fucking horrendous

 

It's makes Ghstbusters look like a masterpiece in comparison and that was an unscripted mess that mostly left it's cast floundering like they were 33 minutes into a 3 minute SNL sketch that would not end and had no point.

[WrathOfHan]

Spy is a very meh movie.

You know I actually enjoyed that one as the long lost 1970s era young Kurt Russell Disney programmer. #Justice4Creech

 

also XXX3 was fun and a better “Fast & Furious” movie than FATE OF THE FURIOUS. Come at me Bro. 

Yeah I have a fondness for those Russell films myself

Jason Statham took a chance taking the complete piss out of his action movie persona and CRUSHED it.

Bad Moms is a flop, will do maybe half of the first. RIP the brand. RIP STX.

[narniadis]

43m would be most excellent, a great hold for a 3rd film let alone the 17th in a wider franchise. Now if it can swing up a couple more notches all bets are off.
