But do you think I'll like them? Let's remember who hate Civil War with a burning passion here

I'm 90% positive you'd enjoy Blockers. Less confident about IW, but you might as well find out what the movie you're stanning against is  I will say that its plot behaves nothing like Civil War. Everything moves along very quickly.

Blockers looks bad. I won't watch it. IW also looks bad. I won't watch it. Isle of Dogs looks good so I'm certainly interested. RPO looks okay so maybe in my book

 

Tully looks amazing so it's a hard yes from me

 

 

Your taste in film is historically proven to be terrible

But taste in film is subjective.  I hear this all the time....if people here don't fall in line with the masses, they call berated and accused of having terrible taste in film.  He likes what he likes....not everyone has to like super hero movies.

arent you the same guy who refuses to see any film in theaters that didn’t cost $200M+ to make?

I'll consider it

 

But Tully definitely comes first

As long as it makes $100M+, that must mean it's good!

[WrathOfHan]

tbh, I had more fun with Rampage's third act than all of RPO outside of one particular scene (those first two acts of Rampage are still dreck tho)

That is very simplistic....

 

It is not about the budget, it's around urgency to see it? Deadpool likely costs under 200 million and I will see it.

 

Blockbusters generally have an urgency around it due to a connect storyline due to a universe I am interested in.

 

A normal film is rather standalone and as a result, if I watch it today or a year from now oh well.

 

Because to me why spend 20 bucks to watch a film if I do not really care to see it today or 6 months from now on VOD?

 

 

Before you think I am some terrible person, this how most people watch movies based on the boxoffice clearly.

Real Talk

Black Panther > IW

 

But Both are top 5 MCU.

 

 

I have only seen five movies this year (Panther, PR, Annihilation, RPO and IW) so far. Haven’t had the time to see more. I think I might see either Isle Of Dogs, Tully or Breaking In next.

I saw Ready Player One twice (on back to back days!) and both times got about 20x the amount of enjoyment I got while watching Rampage.

 

btw did I mention that Rampage sucks ass?  because it does.

Everyone here seems to hate rampage so I'm gonna hard pass on that one

[Lordmandeep]

Rampage is the perfect example of a film that 10 years ago would make a ton of money.

 

However these days why spend 20 bucks to see that, if it comes out on netflix in a few months.

Yeah, Rampage is pretty whatever. It takes way too long to embrace its goofiness.

Actually it never embraces its goofiness.  it shoots every single possible goofy scenario in the most boring, flat way possible and expects the audience to be like "woah that's so cool!" but it works zero times.  Brad Peyton did a far better job with San Andreas (although that's probably my penchant for disaster porn talking)

Black Panther hasn't sat too well with  me over time. It's good. But it ain't elite MCU (Guardians 2, IM3, TWS,  Ultron)

I disagree with this but don't want to get banned 🤔

[Lordmandeep]

The issue with me is I am unsure if BP and IW are really well-made films or the grander narrative around them makes them the film stand out to me (social issues and 10 years of storytelling coming together) 

[filmlover]

This has actually been a pretty good year for me so far. Seeing Tully later today but my current top 10 stands:

 

1. A Quiet Place

2. Annihilation

3. Black Panther

4. Avengers: Infinity War

5. Love, Simon

6. Game Night

7. Ready Player One

8. Thoroughbreds

9. Blockers

10. Isle of Dogs
