I disagree with you!

[John Marston]

Davy Jones and his crew from Pirates probably are the best CGI creations ever and hold up from over ten years ago 

[Krissykins]

Can proudly say I’ve never watched any of The Hobbit films

Haha, too true. I thought I was in a Michael Bay film all of a sudden.

They're 20 years old! Find me a movie 10 years old that looks as good. 

Are you trying to make the Avatar people come here ?

[CoolioD1]

a quiet place kinda played like a movie that's opening the door for something cooler down the line. like the first friday the 13th or first evil dead or something. of course saying this the sequel gonna be wack as fuck.

[Jake Gittes]

I watched A Quiet Place the day after I pulled a double feature of monsters-hunting-by-sound classics in Tremors and The Descent and uh yeah it couldn't help but suffer in comparison. Not that I would have been a fan otherwise, but watching them all close together was instructive. Like for one thing it's much more effective when the characters encounter the threat suddenly and have to adapt to it immediately than when they've been living with that threat for a year offscreen and we have to watch 45 minutes of worldbuilding before the really good stuff begins.

The most annoying backlash to me is the Avatar one. Just because James Cameron has his entire head up his ass and his fans are the most annoying wankers alive folks gotta act like the movie isn't neat

Eh, I love the film as much as anyone, but a lot of the backlash there had a sound foundation, if maybe amplified a lot by the movie's popularity.

 

Though I'll be glad to see the "no pop culture resonance" blathering go when the sequel's marketing campaign gets underway.

The CGI on Jar Jar Binks is really good and that was 20 years ago

Because it's a much better movie, a bigger event, a movie that will be talked about for farrrr longer, and more important for representation?

 

Saying BP is a better movie than IW is a matter of opinion and one that I strongly disagree with.

Yeah ah the character may be awful but the CGI isn’t bad at all and I think he was tr first major motion capture character in a film 

[FantasticBeasts]

I kinda don't get the Hobbit hate. Maybe because I am not that big on the LOTR trilogy but I found all of them pretty enjoyable. It didn't drag for me as much as I thought.

Yea I'm not saying there aren't legit criticisms, of course there are. But the "it's terrible, dances with wolves lol" garbage that gets trotted out

The execution of Avatar is spot on. That's why it was so successful. Anyone who whines about "we've seen that story/characters before!!", well yeah how many blockbusters can we say that about? Most of them. They need to go back and re-evaluate the execution, because it all works.

I don’t like those Black Panther drops with respect to reaching $700m

AQP was really fucking intense in the theater, but I worry that magic won't be replicated at home. 

[Zakiyyah6]

A Quiet Place is a stellar film. The best film of the year so far to me. And the great legs show that the vast majority either liked or loved it.
