Yeah, I can hardly blame the studios for not turning down free money. They'll stop taking it when it stops being free, and that's up to the consumer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you that audiences only want to see what they've already seen the year before and the year before that but that's no excuse for some of the shit the studios have put out in recent years. I've no use for much of Disney's slate but they have at least put some effort in their franchise movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it seems RDJ and Evans don't do much by choice. Ruffalo has had a great career outside of Marvel. He has been in handful of Best Picture films and he has been nominated for an Oscar three times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that guy included Renner so...I dunno what he's talking about. I guess Renner got the lead push that Ruffalo never did. There's that. Im sure Ruffalo is seeing more Marvel moola than Renner though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But outside Marvel he's been given some serious opportunities. Those may dry up. At least as lead in big budget films. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I was more like : let s hope Hems does not bring his bad karma on these 3 Marvel films. Because yeah, outside of Marvel, his track record is pretty abysmal. Too bad, Rush was great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why am I concerned that this might be better than the movie, itself? I did like Rush, but I think this movie was a bad idea from the beginning.

shayhiri Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 OMG it was so terrible. Even the Shay can not handle this. (I also slept though half of it, so maybe it gets better on second viewing? LoLno, will see it, but don't believe it will improve.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnboy3434 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Based on the opening weekend estimates, I'm revising my total domestic gross estimate to $60.9 million. Considering my initial pre-release estimate was $69.1 million, I'm sure it will keep going down as time goes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean B Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 (edited) I just finished watching a showing of The Huntsman Winter's War in an AMC theater a little while ago. I enjoyed every part of it and It's a big improvement over the first movie. It's not a slow paced movie that makes your mind wonder with scenes that would be worth being deleted. Which the first movie had that problem whereas this movie doesn't have that problem. The cast were perfect fits for the roles they played in the movie, especially the newest editions to the cast such as Emily Blunt and Jessica Chastain. I was impressed with the CGI more then I thought I would be considering that, the CGI looked somewhat unfinished in the earliest trailers released for this movie and better in the most recent trailers. 5/5 Edited April 24, 2016 by Sean B 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
