I can't believe there are still behind-the-moon-Trumptards that think SJW is an insult in 2017. You're one of the sensitive Rednecks who got triggered by tweets of the Declaration of Independence too?

Agree. I think it could've been (in theory) a good way to mix things between Anthology movies and "main story movies", keeping the latter conservative and close to the formula, delivering fans their bi-annual dose of X-Wings and lightsabers, while being slightly more experimental (by Disney...

Yes. But they do. Fate of the Furious. Domestic 225 Million. International 1,013 Million. PoTC 5 (?). Domestic 150 Million. International 500 Million. The Mummy (currently) 57 Domestic. International 236 Million. Transformers Age of Ext. (the one before the current one). Domestic. 245...

Not always. Marvel had it's fair share of groan-worthy world-building non-sense. The entire 'oh, besides, you need this metal-candy-bar-something-only-found-in-an-Avengers-warehouse-so-you-can-have-fight-with-Hawk-dude' sequence in Ant Man was clearly extraneous to Ant Man's movie and story...

I think the movie will do fine. Along with it's inevitable combined-universe follow-ups, it'll comfortably sit in the latter-day PoTC/Transformers/etc.. niche, will earn scathing reviews, the appearance of underperforming domestically, but still make bank internationally. And it'll probably pay...

I think there was a switch in the movies roles and conflict compared to the book, which made a lot of those scenes odd. In the Rolling Stones article/book-that-came-later, McCrystal (which Brad Pitt is, if anonymised) is largely the bad guy for going off on his own, ignoring sensible input from...

I think RLM are pretty spot on in their criticism. It's a "watchable" movie, but sadly short of what it could have been for likely the very same reasons that'll make it a successful intl. franchise. It could've had edgier/snappier/funnier dialogue, but that might not carry well in China & Co...

Not the most exciting Marvel thing, but the visuals look nice and I'll probably see it for Bilbo interrogating Gollum alone.

I am not sure if people get maybe a bit too distracted by reading the politics into it. Again, the main point they were trying to get across was that there're more than one Jesus (literally, in the American Gods context) and that two versions of the same "God" (as in...

It's good, not great. Not a bad watch in theatre if you like comic book movies, but not an absolute must-see.

Definitely an odd one. I think it was ok. Certainly miles above BvS. But the super-great reviews it's getting appear to be grading it on a curve, largely for not being a Snyder Train-Wreck. If WW would've been a Marvel character and this a Marvel movie, people would probably focus more on...

They whole Make-Germany-Great-Again-and-Drain-the-corrupt-Weimar-Republic-Swamp-and-fuck-the-League-of-Nations-Globalisation-stuff-and-blame-a-non-christian-religion-for-everything Nazi movement only really came out of the fringes after WWI and was elected into power only 1933.

Harsh as it might be, I'd be double-triple-quadruple sceptical of those pre-real-review-hype-"impressions" in the DCEU. They know they got .. mixed .. reviews for their last couple of instalments and certainly won't leave things up to chance here. There might be some genuine opinions in there...

I read the books, but never thought of them as anything more than schlock to begin with. Fun, worth a read (the early ones at least) but hardly more than a quick throwaway by King in mass-production-mode after watching an Eastwood film. I am surprised how religious people get over it them.

Yeah. Not to mention he ..

What'ya talking about Ben Kingsley/Trevor Slattery still is the best thing yet in the MCU and probably the entirety of Superheroe movies of the past 20 years.

Well, couldn't have been a surprise for the Game of Thrones guy. A, it's Game of Thrones. B, the Red Wedding was written in the book and available for people to read before the first episode of Season 1 of the TV series was ever filmed (or the guy was even cast; presumably you'd at least get...

Movie was ok. As said, standard Marvel. I doubt they'll ever be able to top Iron Man 3, so I don't have super-high expectations. Works fine if you like the Marvel humour and stuff.

True. Though Star Wars movies (or other big "Christmas blockbusters") opening before Christmas in the US and Europe don't open until January in China and most of Asia. Still impressive though. Vin Diesel is probably the world's biggest movie star now in China (if he wasn't already after Furious...

To be clear, there is no single TFA teaser/trailer cut that way. They edited stuff from various TFA trailers and even the movie itself (Luke famously wasn't in any trailers) to highlight similar imagery as much as possible.

Again, a group cannot suffer from cognitive dissonance. Only individuals. Islam is the religion of over 1.6 Billion individuals on the planets, encompassing people of all sexualities, political dispositions, etc.. Again, judging all people of a religion or a nation is illogical. Not all...

? Two persons holding different opinions isn't cognitive dissonance. it's just two individuals holding different opinions. Cognitive dissonance is when a single person holds inherently contradictory and irreconcilable positions. For example: A US conservative who claims to value...

I agree. But I also think some people went a bit too far with "Ren/Snoke aren't Sith, they are something different/more secret/Darth Plagueis playing 5th Dimensional Chess with the Sith", simply because they aren't referred to as Sith in TFA. I think with TFA Disney (or JJ) were simply...

Yes. I know Vader was called Lord of the Sith. But other EU "evil jedi" were still dark jedi. There was no Sith as a historical organisation or institutions. It was just a title. It had no more in common with the later flesh-out concept of "the Sith" than the original script-mention of...

Well, not really. Dark Jedi are just Jedi that are evil. Sith implies a continuous history of evil Jedi following (as well as occasionally breaking) certain traditions, mainly the "Always two there are; no more, no less" quote from Phantom Menace (which was clearly modelled on the Vader/Emperor...

Not ... yet. The very concept of "Sith" is a prequel-concept, like Midichlorians, from the Phantom Menace. Prequels (and EU) retconned Darth Vader and the Emperor being Sith, despite the idea not existing at the time of the original trilogy. TFA kept prequel/EU stuff at arms length, but if...

Where the hell is Fury's eyepatch? Marvel's getting lazy.

Rogue One is a Prequel. And it wasnt that bad. I'd probably put it in the Top 3 Star Wars Prequels.

Definitely should be casting quality actors to make the Terminator franchise great again. I am thinking A-List stuff. Like Christian Bale maybe.

Box Office: 'Beauty And The Beast' Tops $550M Overseas For $984M Worldwide Cume So this one is about to clear 1 Billion international? Upcoming Disney stuff (among other things): GoTG2 in May Jack Sparrow for Memorial Weekend to steamroll Wonderwoman Cars 3 to fill Happy Meals with toys till...

Not gonna save this one. Pacific Rim had about more than twice the opening weekend, more staying power and was cheaper to make in the first place. This one's in deep red accounting territory.

Really? Thor 1 basically was a fish-out-of-water comedy with a short superhero fight tacked on to the end. "I need a horse" The constant slap-stick "I ran him over with the van" on repeat mode. Etc..

Shouldn't that be Goldfinger?

I like it!
