Reviews are as political these days as the movies themselves.

Well, political, pandering, or sensationalist. Legit reviews don’t pull in nearly as many reviews as those that cater to your base. That’s why Drinker changed his approach about 7-8 years ago.

some spotty cgi


Probably the result of the reshoots. The effects take time to get right and Marvel has been notorious about changing their mind on how things should look, forcing effects companies to go back redo things.

Uh yeah, the reviews are bought and paid for by Disney and have been for years

Which is about when the movies started pushing hard into politics.

Namely with Ghostbusters 2016.

Hmmm

It's going to end up losing money. The 'target' is a projection, an estimate of how the movie will do at the box office, not what it NEEDS to make.

The $180 - 200 million claims are laughable and not the full cost of what this movie took to make.

It was the projections

Making it look a little less successful than Quantumania, with both having the benefit of a 4-day weekend

Sad because, while Quantumania had a FAR superior villain, Brave New World was a better movie in all other respects

If this isn't the target audience, one who grew up on these movies, then I don't know who is. And apparently neither does Disney Marvel.

1 fan's view. Wishes she hadn't seen the movie.



Now go DV the messenger for yet ANOTHER YouTuber who said the same thing after having seen a bad super hero movie.

I couldn't get past the sanctimonious chair swivel at the beginning of the video.

Are these really the content creators you champion on here in all these threads?

If so, you're a bigger cuck than I've realized.

I don’t know if this thread needs the spoiler tag. Four days after release and there hasn’t been any discussion about the actual movie. Just the usual mouth breathers telling people that watched the movie they aren’t allowed to like it because the YouTubers said so.

I don't care. If that's all it takes to trigger you and shut you down, I don't know what to say.

I've never seen this YouTube channel before. No idea who she is or what her deal with the chair is. Doesn't matter, either way.

Well, thankfully, it's not so, thus I'm NOT any sort of a cuck.

Me laughing at a poor youtuber trying, and failing, to be clever is not being "triggered"

My god you’re retarded. Never saw you in this thread, I posted in it before you and I just responded to a post I read 1 or 2 pages back. Stop lying and go back to trolling people who don’t know what you are.

So fricking tired of the dismissals out of hand of any one who dares to have an opinion about something. The board claims all those I actually DO watch and subscribe to - Nerdrodtic, The Critical Drinker, Just Some Guy, MauLer, and about a dozen others - are all just incel nerds. Which his hilarious because virtually all are married with their own kids in or out of college, and who are simply fans. But no, now you'll dismiss some 20 something yr old, because of a chair? WTF is that even supposed to mean? The supposed target audience of these movies, who admittedly grew up on the MCU breaks the movie down and explains why her, her dad and her brother are all tapping out of this crap.

So, Gen Xers who grew up on the source material comics are too old, but also the girl who grew up watching these movies with her dad and brother, also not qualified to have an opinion either.



You LITERALLY have zero point here. None.
