I was going to hold off on this until home release, but a local showing was completely empty** yesterday when we were at the mall so we jumped in to hate-watch it as a group.
The movie was a lot of fun to rip on MST3K style, especially with a bunch of comic fans, and so it had quite a lot of entertainment value as a result but clearly this was not their intent.
** having a completely empty showing one week after release is really bad. I almost felt bad for the theater since they had several screens dedicated to this still.

maybe it had a little help, MIB 4 was so bad they went to see Dark Sansa instead.
MiB 4 only 28m opening weekend. amd Shaft with Samuel L Jackson only did 8m.

I'd do the same. If the theater is empty, I'm not passing that up.
Yeah, I'd even violate my "no money for star wars" promise that I've upheld since paying for TFA if I walked by an empty theater and Episode 9 was playing.

I feel bad for Shaft, I didn't see a single bit of pub for it, aside from ONE trailer in front of John Wick 3.

Unfortunately it probably hurts Hemsworth more than her. He's the bigger star and will get more of the blame.

Lest we not forget this is not the first time he's been tained with the 'Grrl pwwr' angle.. *cough*Ghostbusters*cough*
Should we entertain the hypotheses that Thor is a Soy Boy?

With Avengers kicking things off very early it has felt like the entire typical 'summer' movie season was dead by the traditional start. My local crew are movie geeks (including but not limited to making short films) and normally the summer has us going every weekend to the cinema , but not this year. I am hoping that people do see Spiderman on July 4th, but who knows.

I don't think he came off that bad from Ghostbusters, and probably benifited from it. He was the only thing funny in that movie and it really showcased his comedic chops.

Oh god. This is so bad and I'm only 22 minutes in. The space rescue scene was so stupid, starting with Cyclops shooting a beam out of their ship, in space, then he hits the shuttle in the direction it's spinning out of control which makes it slow down (yes I know he hit the thruster, but his explosion would make it spin worse, not stop spinning). Then fucking Jennifer Lawrence with the "the women are saving the men, should call it X-woman!" YUCK. Complete dumpster fire so far.

Someone wrote that the movie gets exponentially worse every 20 minutes. I had to finish it to see if this is the case, and by god, it is. Wow, it's honestly amazing something this bad could get made. I have nothing else to say. I just want it to disappear from my brain, like that Nic Cage movie "Knowing" did until just right now.

My wife has been reading a lot of articles about it. Apparently they made them reshoot and edit a ton of crap in it during the Disney/Fox acquisition because Disney side Marvel was upset about elements which conflicted with some of what they were doing. Apparently those aliens were originally Skrulls.

Interesting! That would have been one way to start integrating the different universes. Does that mean that we shouldn't expect any X-men in the Avengers movies ever?

The general current concensus is they want people to forget about these x-men movies. WHich means no x-men probably for at least 5-6 years.

something like, marvel and fox have a handshake deal of the "race" of skrulls is shared (but klrt super skrull is fox only).
this was all pre-aquisition, now that marvel has control of the rights and dark-phoenix, they didn't want the skrulls to muddy the waters in xmen and only to appear in captain marvel, so they sacrified the this garbage since captain marvel is gonna be the flagship heroine in MCU.
