I did watch it. I’ll give it another watch when I get a chance. I only watched it once. I just happened to watch Ant Man before this movie came out, so any sequence he was involved in made total sense. I guess I should’ve done the same for Ragnorak.
Go watch it still. It’s one thing to know the ending. It’s another to experience it. And no more comment reading before films ok? There will be future movies you will want to watch and now you know for the future. I’ve had enough movies spoiled where I’ve especially learned to avoid unfiltered comments sections for articles, Twitter etc. Articles do a good job (mostly) of whether they contain spoiler material. User comments... not so much.
That’s Ok. Not saying there is anything wrong with that. It’s just too much analysis for me. Glad to have your input tho.
Maybe i am not explaining well enough. I am ok with critiquing a movie; but to analyze it to the point of writing a report on it. That’s just too much effort. I want it just enjoy a movie and watch it. This was an entertaining horror film for me.
I guess we just disagree on that. And what a bore to try to read that much into a movie IMO. But If a go watch a horror film and it scared me while being fully engaged in its plot, then I will say it did it’s job.
Maybe I’m their demographic, but isn’t that what a horror movie is? Gloomy atmosphere that builds up to a jump scare? I dont know. I enjoyed it.
I thought it was well done. Not a ground breaking horror film but one of the better Conjuring films.
Excited to see it. Gonna watch it tonight.
My observation is that noticing a deep interest in something that one is not interested in is considered an “obsession”, while noticing a deep interest in something that someone can relate to is a “passion”; it just comes down to different strokes for different folks. Who am I to tell someone that it’s wrong? It’s not hurting anyone. Maybe it’s just me, But I don’t see much of a difference between someone that goes to a comic book convention and collects comics versus someone that goes to an art gallery and collects paintings they are both different forms of entertainment and interests.
I’ll withhold judgment until I watch the movie. But I agree. First impression of Scar is disappointing. But you also don’t want two lions that appear too similar. We don’t want people confusing Mufasa and Scar.
Me too. I have a feeling it’s going to have a decent opening weekend for a horror film.
Well it’s been a few years since this thread came out. I think it’s simply due to the fact that it’s not easy to make an underwater film as a live action movie and how would you handle all of the talking underwater animals. But with the recent release of the Aquaman movie we finally have a template on how to create an underwater film and I think we may see an announcement for Little Mermaid sometime soon
When I saw this thread, I thought you were referring to the Annabelle doll. And yes I think evil ol’ Barb could’ve killed her too. LOL.
Portraying some Indian influence may not be completely inaccurate. While the original 1994 film Aladdin didn’t fully explore the full extent of Agrabah, the follow up mid-1990’s Aladdin cartoon series did a better job of doing so. I remember Jasmine making reference to an area known as Ganistan, which was an obvious play to countries like Afghanistan and Pakistan. These countries have mid to strong Indian influence.
You’ve still offered no proof. Plus, that doesn’t explain why Disney didn’t “save” the Star Wars films lately; that’s a very profitable franchise. It must suck to hate a film so bad, yet see it succeed so much. I feel sorry for you.
The entire premise of this thread is absurd. Disney is not buying tickets to its own movies. If that were the case, why didn’t they buy tickets to save their other so-called feminist movie “A Wrinke In Time”. Or any failed movie like Tomorrowland or John Carter. No, they will let the public decide if a movie will sink or swim - case closed.
Oh and btw, the only “proof” you have is at another country’s (China) box office which is not nearly as regulated as the USA. Besides, China’s government disincentives foreign box office receipts in favor of domestic box office receipts. Movie theaters are penalized when foreign (US or other countries) films exceed a certain percentage of total theatre sales. So if anything, Captain Marvel’s box office numbers may actually be higher (not lower) than what is being reported. Get educated on the facts and get a clue man.
I think you are off. The general rule of thumb is the production cost x2 plus marketing costs. Obviously international grosses are a bit lower than domestic totals but in a nutshell if there’s a budget of $150 million and a marketing cost of $150 million then breaking even would be $450 million. We passed that number a long time ago.
Wow I thought I was the only one. It was jarring hearing the songs so processed. Daft Punk anyone?? May as well have gotten them to record Belle’s songs.
I’m starting to think this is true. In the scheme of things they are a very small but vocal minority. The movie is doing too well to suggest otherwise.
