ADAMANTIUM Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 I just got back from seeing it. It was decent and normal flow, I didn't predict the end but in one way which might have been so obvious it wouldn't have mattered. I saw it on screen X, which is to say fun, but some of the CGI suffered and idk if it was BECAUSE of brand x Larryw7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paperheart Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 (edited) If estimates hold, 85% below Aquaman in China; common sense says $1.4B WW may be a tad optimistic Edited December 23, 2023 by paperheart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past, there was pussyfooting around...but not anymore. It's total war...total lies & propaganda. And conservatives are human...all the anti-waken sites will sell their values up the river for money/clicks/rage-bait-views. Conservative sites are LYING so blatantly. Dropping their whole format to act disheartened...like they're going to die...about how non-stop-waken Aquaman 2 is...LYING about how it's all global-warming propaganda. And everyone in the comments believes like sheep. Even though all the environmental damage was purposely caused by Black Manta with ancient Atlantean fuel...not by humans.

ChillMan Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 And hey Boscoe...is CGC a reasonable site? Why does their 'December Upcoming Comic Movies' front-page feature article only talk about Wonka...which obviously isn't even a comic...? Explain that, please...

I have viewed and read a number of 'professional movie critics' and bloggers over the years. And you can clearly tell those with a bias or axe to grind by their words and reflection points such as "that's no MCU" or "aren't we all tired of Uncle Ben dying" conveying they lean in to one creative approach or have no clue what lore makes a character tick. Yet others respect creative differences between studio and directors, along with knowing the subjects they comment on.

Other than for many years this forum has conveyed a stronger Marvel Comics and Marvel Studios leaning. Yet when anonymous surveys were conducted during a time when the louder few proclaimed Man of Steel or Batman v Superman were "hated by all", the results proved otherwise. Go figure.

Gatsby77 Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Weird. I remember the critical and theatrical failure of BvS leading to the cancellation of 4 planned DCEU movies (Justice League 2, Cyborg, Ben Affleck's Batman, and Deathstroke). Wherein the catastrophic 69% 2nd weekend drop led to WB panicking, reworking Justice League Part 1 to lighten it up with Whedon, and then - audiences simply didn't show up for it anyway - having already been burned by the prior film. But hey - at least we've still got Ezra Miller MAR1979 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
