I thought maybe he had changed his stripes. The people with some mental rule of thumb about runtime, tend to have a you better be Scorsese (or Nolan, Cameron, Tarantino, etc... or an epic project a la End Game) if you want a lot of it, more than a very hard rule of thumb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this goes sideways mah boy Ted will pay Sony a full billie for No Way Home. I know you kid, but Sony can't release a movie that initially premieres on anything other than theaters unless Marvel consents and greenlights it. It's a frozen right as per the leaked contract (4. FROZEN RIGHTS AND CHARACTERS.) Only way they wouldn't need Marvel's consent to initially release a movie on streaming or DTV is if theaters get replaced by another distribution method for tentpole films by Major Studios.

The first movie is what it is and there is no way to escape it. The best choice made was to just turn this into a chaotic and short 90 minutes ride. I hope it opens well enough to resist the inevitable 70% 2nd weekend drop against Bond and still end with a decent total. Yep, first movie was like oh wow I didn't hate this despite it sucking. I imagine a sequel will be worse and perform much much worse than the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonytr87 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I hated the original. Terrible filmmaking all around. The only good thing about it was Hardy and even then, not exactly his best performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titanic2187 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Is it possible the reason of last minute embargo lifting due to spoiler leak concern, rather than the film quality itself ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic Draper Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 It's strange because its not like the reviews hurt the first film anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor sods. I will never forget Fant4stic hosted a twitter q&a with the cast where, suspiciously, the only people that had their questions answered were the staff of the social media company running the account. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
