This is getting ugly...

[joe_collector]

And the fanboys strike back!!!

 

aka How many IDs does drbanner have?

[drbanner]

...none! Some truths are self-evident!

[Lockjaw]

What do you mean the fanboys strike back...because people like myself are voting average (my vote) or liked it, are you annoyed? Whatever.

[joe_collector]

It was just a joke. The poll started out with almost totally negatives, then it was all positives.

Looks like the No's have it so far............

I haven't seen the flick yet so will reserve judgement.

[Rickdogg]

Looks pretty even. I guess the DD movie wasn't a hit

[joe_collector]

That's pretty well where I thought it would be, and word-of-mouth is horrible on this movie (water cooler conversations slamming it) and I haven't met anyone outside of the comic's enclave that thinks it's a good or great movie.

 

Plus, the flick pulled in heavy ad-based ticket sales of $45 for the opening weekend, and it's gross up to the end of this week is just above $50 million.

 

Even during the weekdays, a million or so a day "first week sales" is dead dog-city, and we might be buying the DVD in a few weeks.

I thought the movie was average, but why do you try so hard to convince people it was bad?

[joe_collector]

It was bad, horrible, unwatchable tripe. That's my opinion, and if you thought it was average, then that's yours. Pretty simple really.

Naaaawww, now the captain america and punisher movies...... THOSE movies were bad, horrible, unwatchable tripe!

[uclapeterg]

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When you compare them relative to the budget and talent involved, Daredevil is in many ways a lot more disappointing. I really can't imagine making a worse super-hero movie for $80+ million.

Wow, looks like the pro-movie camp now outnumbers the anti-movie camp 2 to 1 in the, uh, unbiased poll, just like in the allegedly biased poll. Also, the box office figures for the weekend are in and DD held the top spot for the 2nd week in a row...not bad! With Hulk and X-men coming up, it'll be interesting to see what the 2-summer numbers are for comic book movies holding the top spot at the box office.

[joecgcmaniac]

nothin' like listening to dolph lungren, in his best ivan drago accent, trying to talk like the punisher......... now THAT was high comedy....... i suddenly have the urge to watch that piece of crud punisher movie!!!!

>>Also, the box office figures for the weekend are in and DD held the top spot for the 2nd week in a row...not bad!

 

It also dropped more than 50% from its first week, meaning it may not break 100 million and is certain to fall below $150 million. Huge disappointment for an $80-$85 million movie with $45 million+ in ad budget. That's $130 million to make up right off the top, taking into account that theatres take a nice chunk of overall receipts.

 

Then again, the box office receipts are only valid if you take the overall costs into account, and by that comparison, that "Lose a Guy in 10 Days" flick is a huge success compared to DD.

Wow, looks like the pro-movie camp now outnumbers the anti-movie camp 2 to 1

 

If you count the "average" ratings in the anti-movie camp, the ratio is more like 1 to 1, which is where most of the other Internet fan polls are running.

 

It really doesn't matter to me what the poll says...all it does is show me how many people on the poll have discriminating tastes and who, uh, doesn't...!
