jsilverjanet Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 so I guess everyone here should go see Till, Bro's and All Quiet on the Western Front instead of the turd of Black Adam Larryw7, Lpgk and Mr.TawkyTawny 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even close. i haven't seen black adam, and thus cannot compare it to any movie; i'm only referencing r.t.'s comparative unfavorable ratings.

I don't know, people pretty much ripped Thor and Dr. Strange and most people were generally positive about Batman. I personally disliked all three for different reasons and have now decided that I'm not even going to bother with Black Adam. -J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straw-Man Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 lawd, my clientele would be burgeoning if claimant's started sending adverse counsel to court that had the debating skills i see around here. unfortunately, they usually know their way around an argument.

One is popcorn, the other a more serious topic I don't think most critics are able to separate one comic movie from another. The are critical of the movie in terms of a movie and not the content. I rarely going into a comic movie for anything than 2 hours of fantasy and a break from the real world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait what ? This was originally supposedly tracking for $75MM+, now it "might" get to only $50MM?? -J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted October 21, 2022 Author Share Posted October 21, 2022 On 10/21/2022 at 2:38 PM, Straw-Man said: now several points below eternals; let that sink in. That would be a concern IF we did not factor in what has already been shared that the Eternals was not dealing with. 1) Toby Emmerich left WBD when he saw the writing on the wall his days were numbered; critics felt he was their cinema guy at the top 2) Walter Hamada has now been officially let go, a horror genre darling and Toby Emmerich's hand-picked DC President 3) Dwayne Johnson has done a number of public interviews making it very clear what he thought about them and how difficult they made it None of that is going to lead to the first WBD DC film released since all this change getting a big hug from the critics. Yet the audience score is very high (like what happened with Venom without Items #1-3 to get in the way). Let that sink in as the regulars on here that love to dance around what they see as a pending bonfire do their jig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
