But...but....where will they find people to go watch this movie???

Not extremely excited to see this but I will go like I do every other comic movie.  But, I must do what the kids want first and that is go see Secret Life of Pets 2.  I think it will beat Dark Phoenix opening weekend.

Dark Phoenix is June 7th, if that's the case I doubt it beats Secret Life of Pets 2

My honest short non spoiler reaction.  Good to great but not mind blowing.  I tentatively have it as my 7th favorite MCU movie, but that could change. Way more sentimental and character driven then I expected, and felt very much like the end. About a 7 or maybe 8 out of 10.

 

For the MCU as a whole it works very well.  I do wonder if Disney has inadvertently created a jumping off point for many especially the more casual fans.

I was thinking the same thing about the casual viewers being less likely to continue watching all of these because of how this movie went.

98% with almost 60 in.  one turd is negative.

Armond White will probably be a negative, I think he tries to go opposite on most movies.

Should be a good weekend with the last minute people that want to see this before Endgame.

Ooh you’re a big scary boy aren’t you 

Lol all I said was if ur not interested dont watch it and thanks for the input.  Sounds like you are the one that got your panties bunched.

I didn’t need your recommendation as I clearly said I didn’t have any interest in it

And nobody needs your opinion either.  Who cares if some dipsh it  wants to see the movie.  Too much of that garbage everywhere in this world

I don’t have much interest in seeing the joker as a sympathetic characterWhich is where they seem to be going with this origin story I think he works best as a crazy psycho pathic character not as someone you feel sympathy for or understand 

My recommendation is dont watch it.  Thanks for your take though it was very interesting!!

Serious question, how much do you think this movie would have made if it was Captain Marvel playing go fish with Fury the whole movie with a lead in to end game at the end??

Saw CM earlier today.  I thought it was good, but not great.  Better than Ant-Man but not as good as Dr. Strange, both movies are rewatches for me.  It was a little jumpy at parts and would’ve benefited from better directing.  Brie Larson was fine although scenes where she was running, it looked like she was really slow.  Skrulls were good.  Stan Lee tribute at the beginning was a nice moment.  

My 11-yr old daughter loved it.  It’s a hit already.  

You must be 40ish and whiteish!!!  Your opinion is not welcome here.

Plenty of positive reviews in the thread. No need for name calling if some opinions aren't the same as yours.  I'm pretty sure Skypinkblu isn't a 40 year old white dude.

My wife just told me she thought the best thing about the movie was the cat.   

Saw it with my wife tonight.  Before I gave my opinion I wanted to see what she thought of it right after it finished and she said it was ok but not even close to being as good as a bunch of other comic movies.  She could care less about the studios as we watch all the comic movies.  I personally thought it was just ok as well .  Definitely didn't blow me away. There's something about Larsons acting that just didn't do it for me.  Still recommend seeing it as a lead in to the next movies.

Point taken.

To which my response is:  All of the purported subsidies/grants in the world don't change its big dumb all in budget of $350MM.  Warner managed to dodge a bullet (again).  This will take some of the sting out of the Justice League debacle, and its even bigger, dumber budget.  Good for WB.

Here's to hoping they make smarter, better movies going forward, which will allow them to reap better rewards and hopefully lead to even more, better movies.

Why does it  seem the only movie anyone adds the marketing budget on to the production budget is Aquaman?

 Racist and maga inspired .  I'll be honest I haven't finished the show to see but I'm guessing this is just another weirdo.  Haven't read the article because of spoilers either but people are just nuts.  Or maybe it's me!!!

Thought it was real good like many of the other comic movies.   I feel there's a big reason why it got the headlines it did but I'm not going there.

I heard some bloke called Christopher Nolan, was going to try to make some Batman movies to hit that goal first (DISCLAIMER, so joke isn't spun back against me: in unadjusted USD dollars.)

Didn't the Dark Knight and Rises hit 1B worldwide?

Worth noting that in less than two weeks of domestic release, Aquaman's stats look near-comparable to Venom's full run:

Aquaman

$222.8M domestic / $623.5M international 

26.3% domestic / 73.7% international split

$846.3M total

Venom

$213.3M domestic / $642.1M international

24.9% domestic / 75.1% international split

$855.5M total

 

I still think $300M domestic is a stretch for Aquaman, but hopefully its success will convince WB to actually schedule a Flash solo movie.

Yes but Aquaman needs to make over 500 billion to make a profit!!!!!

No, they are all in their original shrinkwrap. I guess that I could have used stock photos but finding the images was a bear last time I tried. 

Gotcha, I only buy original movie posters for the most part.

Thanks. I get it, it is just disheartening to get something I like and then see someone HAVE to take what I offered. I'll live, and I will have an omnibus to live with me!

Just out of curiosity did you have a pic of them??

@Bird Your posters were the next one on my wish list. Thank you to @HolidayHam for all of the awesome work!!

I didn't go back and search so I had no idea what the posters were.  I was afraid they may have been posters of Bird in the nude!!!

No TMNT fans out there?  I have them all but that's a $100+ Raphael figure.  Great prize.  

I like horses but I'll try prize #17
