Mods like to take credit for fanboy wars ending, but when you look at the numerical landscape ‘twas Kevin who ended the wars 👀

Let us not forget that Thor 4 also has the GOTG, so that could also have some solid drift off Spidey in terms of getting those sweet reactions from an audience.

I guess my TFA audience didn't cheer for 10 minutes straight.

 

It was a Saturday so maybe that's the issue.

 

 

 

If your definition of "crowd pleaser" is "only films where the audience cheers for 10 minutes straight", not a lot of crowd pleasers out there.

 

===

 

FWIW, I tend to place TFA in the same box of "crowd pleasers" as FotR, TTT, and RotK than the NWH's of the world.  Not exactly an epic, no.  But it played more like one when it came to audience connection.

 

(also, yes, people lost their shit when Rey grabbed the lightsaber at the end of TFA, but that's besides the point).

 

*pauses*

I found this Spidey movie borderline unwatchable. I really can't believe it has done well. WOM should be horrible.  What has happened to peoples tastes?

 

 

 

*(have not actually seen it) 

Doing my bit to bump up the page count.

 

 

 

I mean reviews were great. Nostalgia is great

I've become pretty tired of the clapping and cheering. I guess I should start catching these fan-heavy movies at 10am Sunday morning or something. No Way Home wasn't that bad, it was the usual moments you'd expect and didn't last long enough to really ruin a scene. Endgame was a fucking nightmare though. Every time a character made a sideways glance the audience lost their goddamn minds. I'm pretty sure the entire last hour was nonstop audience yelling.

The Suicide Squad was the worst movie I saw in a theater this year, and thats coming from someone who saw Chaos Walking.

I’m gotta go work on some stuff though, will be away for a bit

The Force Awakens absolutely had great reactions, at least opening weekend. Opening night was one of the most hyped screenings I've been too. It was exciting. It's so sad that nothing was planned and we got... that for the trilogy closer. 

[Knights of Ren]

I know just how to get this page count up.

 

Rian Johnson has made the best Star Wars movie/content since Lucas. 

[Inceptionzq]

I got people to cheer for a used car dealership ad at my showing yesterday. It was louder than when Doc Ock showed up. I guess used car dealerships are more of a crowd pleaser

As someone who has gone through the full range of emotions with Star Wars, particularly the sequel trilogy, I just think it’s a crazy re-write of history to say TFA wasn’t an absolute banger at the time. If anything, one could argue the crash from TFA to TLJ/TROS in terms of fandom and hype is due to people being SOOOO jones about TFA. 
 

Like I can’t watch it anymore. Just makes me pressed. Poe and Finn and Rey are all SO GREAT. They have SUCH a youthful energy. And then… well, *you know how that went hand wave*
 

Anyway, I’ll always have Clone Wars. And Rebels. And now Kenobi.

Bringing Hugh Jackman's Wolverine or bringing back RDJ/Evans (in a few years) is the next big thing they can do to replicate this kind of T&A buzz.

 

Word is from the Hollywood trades themselves that Evans is coming back sometime soon...for something.  But Feige has successfully buried that in the midst of all the other hype of these current and upcoming projects.

I'm betting they are only in the first 5-15 minutes of the movie to give Thor a send-off on his new adventure.

should move to the uk. i saw endgame at a sold out midnight show. only a small pop of cheers when captain america caught the hammer, otherwise a perfectly fine experience.

You know what’s a great Star Wars movie? The Last Jedi
