cruise and mcq should just transition to sci/fi/fantasy action cause clearly people don't care about your practical action franchise no matter how good the movie is

DR's  imdb score dropped .2 in two days. It also has very few votes. It will considerably go down. I'm not  a time traveler, but i know how imdb score works. It will only go down from here

 

I predict a B+ cinemscore.

99% RT and F cinemascore incoming!

 

By the way, this is the first time I heard the narrator say bad word "Holy Shit" in a official trailer.

If a Tom Cruise blockbuster from a massive franchise with 98-99% RT score amidst a sea of mid doesn’t leg out like crazy and gets trampled by a meme fomo culture, my faith in the future of theatrical exhibition is dead

Please elaborate. Last two practical action Cruise flicks had franchise best figures and broke records. How does that translate to don't care?

Spy genre has never been that big, especially not DOM. Skyfall is the only Bond film that made 1 Billie.

fallout appears to be the peak of the series box office wise, in theory the followup to that film with such good reviews should be looking at record breaking numbers for the franchise and it doesn't appear to be the case

 

tgm was a bit of a special case, the pent up demand for it brought out old people who had otherwise abandoned theaters and the WOM was the best we've seen for a huge blockbuster since probably titanic

 

if a comic book movie/video game movie had the kind of reviews that DR pt 1 had, the presales would have exploded through the roof

Dude, you are making zero sense. All due respect, but you have zero logic in your statement. You avoided answering the question. What makes you think that people don't care about practical action? What evidence do you have that it's not breaking domestic franchise records?  

 

TGM had a great WoM, because the film delivered amazing practical action. 

 

Let me break it to you: MI is not a comic book movie. If my grandmother had wheels, she would be a bicycle.

Or it means nothing as it's just one area of a big market. Who knows.

None of these excite me. Do a normal movie, play a normal person. Even if it flops, it's still better than these constant action sequels.

Yeah. But TGM reinvigorated the action genre when it was only CBMs, T-rexes, Jedis and Disney remakes reaching stratospheric figures. With the exceptional critical reception for DR1, I am really expecting a massive run of $1B+ (maybe unrealistically so but still!)

After like 100 fresh reviews in a row it finally got its 3rd rotten with a catastrophic rating of... 3/5. This thing is so strong right now it might just make it back up to 99% soon lol. MetaCritic indeed is back up to 82/100.

It needs to reach 200 reviews to do that.

The last thing I wanna see is the best blockbuster director in the business rn and the biggest blockbuster movie star transition to doing $50m movies

Movie is breaking out in Asia. It'll do the same here. Cruise movies are slow moving trains. They start slow but eventually get there and once they get moving they're hard to stop. Word of mouth will kick in and by the time the weekend rolls in it'll start outperforming expectations.

And Katie Walsh's 4/4 review for the Tribune News Service still needs to be added to MC, iirc. I predict the movie will end up around 79/80 MC and 95% RT when all is said and done

The stupid release strategy is throwing everyone off..not just trade experts. It will let out and it might see very minimal 1st - 2nd weekend drop contrary to the consensus belief here

TGM is not reality. Maverick would have been kicked out of the Air Force a long time ago, the older you get the worst you get at flying jets, and anyone Cruise's age would not have Jennifer Connelly as a love interest.

 

It's more fantasy than the wizards and orcs in LOTR.

I'm sorry but ??????????????????????

 

They are literally less than 10 years apart.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Cruise doing a more character driven part now and again
