Mango Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) At this rate I'm seeing an 82-87% RT score for this. Maybe among top critics it can break 90% but at this point it's looking like Brave will be Pixar's first 80-90% movie (not counting the lower rated Cars movies). That isn't bad at all. That's STILL better than most non-Pixar animated movies and classic Disney pics. Though I'm starting to question whether or not this can do subsantially more than $200 million. If word of mouth is more "solid" or "pretty good" than "great" or "fantastic" then it might not spark enough male interest to get past its so-called "female only" wall. Changing my predictions to $58-62m/$210-225m with a 39-45% 3D share opening weekend. Edited June 14, 2012 by Dekunova Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 A 7 for pixar is like a 5 for a dreamworks animation movie. Okay, it's time to stop bashing Dreamworks. Yes, they made a lot of crappy, pandering kids movies (Shark Tale, Shrek 3, Bee Movie, Monsters vs. Aliens, etc) while Pixar was making masterpieces. But consider their last five movies- How to Train Your Dragon, Megamind, Kung Fu Panda 2, Puss in Boots, Madagascar 3. IMO, not a bad one in the bunch. In that time, Pixar released a great movie, a bad movie, and an allegedly okay movie. Dreamworks next movie (Guardians) is getting very positive early word and Pixar's next movie is a sequel to something that's not Toy Story, which after Cars 2 leaves me weary.

DAR Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Dreamworks has been very good of late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoguy Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Madagascar 3 is actually the BEST reviewed movie in that trilogy. It has gotten better reviews with each sequel. That franchise seems to be improving with time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kvikk Lunsj Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I am disappointment by the reviews and I am not excited for the next Pixar film. What is going on Pixar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 Outside of the net and the critics I really have seen no bashing for Cars, most people I know love the 2 films. So whatever. Anyway this still should be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Yes very funny, DWA's next animation is creative original Rise of the Guadians while Pixar's is a sequel to their 12 years old monster movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That franchise seems to be improving with time. I'm just stunned by how that movie turned out. I've like done a complete 180 on both the film and the franchise ever since seeing it.

Impact Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 Thing is that people are getting to hyped. When compared to Pixars other films yes Cars 2 was not as good, but it was still a good film as people compared it too much to Pixars other films. Even Pixar said that it wouldn't be as near as good.

A Marvel Fanboy Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Turbo in 2013 is also original. The only animation studio so far without a miss is Blue Sky. And their works always look funny and creative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 Monsters Inc is a pretty popular film still. Intresting enough-quite a few films that are considered Disney classics were not that popular at the time. (Of course Snow White was suppose to bomb but it didn't) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Between Mad3 and KFP2, I think I trust Dreamworks with sequels more than Pixar, now that Shrek is ogre and done with. Both logically improved upon their predecessors better than Cars 2 did. And based on necessity and concept alone, I have much more faith in HTTYD2 than Monsters University.

Impact Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 I'm still unsure about Dragon 2. It was a great film but I really don't know how they can expand. Speaking of sequels-I'm still surprised to this day that New Line didn't jump the sequel bandwagon and do a Elf 2. (Elf was a great and fun film, but it just seems like something they try to make) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 M2 sucked I can't see the M3 being an good. I don't want to make any guarantees, but I think everyone who sees the film would agree that the new characters really add to the film and there are a couple setpieces that are as visually dazzling as anything Pixar's put out.
