Hobbit movies x 3
Star War prequels x 3
+ King Kong?

To be fair, a lot of those people had pre-booked their tickets before the review embargo was lifted, so it was going to be a multi-million dollar opening weekend no matter what. What will be interesting is seeing at what point those tickets sales plummet and if they will at all.
This movie does need to make an…

Are you saying having seen his other films means you have no right to critique anything he makes from now on until forever? That essentially means that no pre-established director should ever get flack for anything they make after their first movie comes out and they should continue to be given mountains of cash to…

Oh goood she’s just the cutest!!

YES YES YES YES YES!

Urrrg, she would have been so perfect. Now THOSE are thighs that could snap a man’s head off without breaking a sweat. That’s my wish fulfilment right there! xD

You seem to be a Gal fanboy, so I’m sure. But Wonder Woman she is not.

It doesn’t show. Like, at all. At the very least, an iconic comic book hero put together for screen should vaguely resemble their comic book counterpart in the most important ways. I wonder how you would feel if they’d cast Ben Whitshaw as Superman. The ladies might like the look of him, all slim and softly spoken and…

There’s no ‘good part bad part’ to any month. It’s not a hard and fast rule about so-called “dump months”. Studios are just very strategic about where they place certain movies and medium budget action thrillers, YA fantasy movies, animations, and dramas don’t want to have to jostle for money during the stupidly hyped…

This usually only counts for big blockbuster type movies. You often get excellent animated movies in March and August, so they don’t have to struggle for space against massive live action fare (see Zootopia and Kubo and the Two Strings).

And how exactly are you supposed to have adjusted your expectations relative to a movie you haven’t actually seen yet? Is there another way to gauge your level of enjoyment prior to sitting through a movie? I’m guessing you’re the type of guy that’s probably going to be against listening to professional critics and…

I agree with that to a degree, but there is a big difference between a movie like Batman v Superman that sets itself up as this deeply serious, gritty thing with something very heavy and important to say, and, say, the Fast and the Furious franchise. The Fast and the Furious wants to deliver a good, fun experience and…

< Sony’s idea of what people want in Wonder Woman

Maybe it’s because her vision is to blanket describe female wish-fulfilment in the same way a lunk-headed male director might - describing them in terms of conventional, delicate feminine attractiveness over cool power. I’m a woman and people are pissed because Jenkins is falling into the same stupid reasoning we’ve…

Yeah, I cringed my way through that. What is it about people working in film that makes them so thoroughly misunderstand what people love and why? I mean when the Internet exists and those opinions are right at their figer tips....

Lucy Lawless is everything I would want in a Wonder Woman. She is scrappy and not in the least bit pouty or affected. She’s like Furiosa and Ripley and all the other great female badasses in that she’s way less interested in posing or looking cute than she is in being badass.
All those women have fire in their eyes.…

Gal is just too willowy, dainty, and pouty to be an intimidating or regal Wonder Woman. And, although she can’t really alter her basic frame, she *could* have bulked up for the role a la Chris Hemsworth, but that obviously was not something she was directed to do at all. If anything, this shoot looks to have slimmed…

I’m honestly wishing she were the protagonist of a different, cooler looking movie. Can we throw her in with the Captain Marvel casting favs?

Kind of disappointed in that quote from Jenkins. I mean I don’t know the context, but I really hate the idea that a wish fulfilment warrior for women has to be hot in the sense that she has long legs and presumably looks pouty and cute. That’s not Wonder Woman to me and it’s not wish fulfilment either. I want a…

Oh boo, cry a river. No one is telling you you can’t talk about something. They’re answering a statement you chose to make on a public forum with a counter-point.
The people this issue concerns have their history within the US. The reason the “racial neurosis” exists within the US is because all of the historic racial…
