Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted May 4, 2013 Author Founder / Operator Share Posted May 4, 2013 I don't think critics dislike Snyder or anything..its just that his films thus far haven't been that great. 300 was fun but hollow, Watchmen, while faithful to the comic was not adapted to suit the everyday moviegoer, Sucker Punch was fail and Dawn of the dead was decent. He just doesnt have a good filmography. But what I mean is that he's become the popular target for so-called "bad" high budget movies. He's one flop away from being dubbed the new Shyamalan, and that kind of stigma is almost impossible to get rid of for a director when it comes to critics. But... I'm optimistic for him and MoS.

rockNrollaDIM Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I can't fucking wait for MOS. That's really atypical for me because I think Superman is corny as hell and I'm not usually crazy for superhero movies in general but I got a good feeling about MOS and Snyder's interpretation. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainJackSparrow Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Sigh I predicted in range of 170 millions (though didn't post that here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I feel confident that Elysium will have the highest RT percentage for a live-action blockbuster this summer. But Elysium is not a mega blockbuster per say, its R rating puts it in a different category entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's by far my most anticipated summer film. Edited May 4, 2013 by Mattrek 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#ED Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 100M OW for MoS!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I'm in the exact same boat. It's by far my most anticipated summer film. I am also in the same boat. My second most anticipated is Now You See Me....I love the trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Beezy Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) I'm in the exact same boat. It's by far my most anticipated summer film. Mine's Before Midnight. And this coming from someone who usually chooses a big blockbuster as his most anticipated. Edited May 4, 2013 by Jay Beezy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Futurist Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 D9 says hi. This will just be a bigger scale of it. I am saying there are different types of blockbuster, budget wise and success wise. Elysium is not Iron Man 3, MOS or Star Trek Into Darkness, budget wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattrek Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 100M OW for MoS!?I rarely use the term, but unless it's a bad movie 100m is locked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainJackSparrow Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 On a side note, 2014 summer looks great for me! ASM 2, T4, Godzilla, JP4 and planet of Apes are all remakes/ sequels of my fav movies! Box office wise though...Anyway can this make 170 mil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackspider Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) Encouraging to see that the 6:30 and 9:45 IMAX shows at Lincoln Square are already sold out. Even the 1 am is around 40% full at the moment. Edited May 4, 2013 by blackspider 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Beezy Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) Early word has been good for MoS. But it may not necessarily reflect in the final RT score. It's crazy the kind of big names Cavill has supporting him. Edited May 4, 2013 by Jay Beezy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
