I wouldn't mind a Matrix reboot actually. I've been waiting for years. That film had way too much influence to let two crummy sequels kill any future potential.

[Expendable.]

Wait.. Please tell me RJD didn't actually get payed 50 mil for The Avengers. Please tell me it's an exaggeration.

It'll actually in all likelihood be more than $50m when all is said and done.

[Jimothy]

Battleship bombing is karma for Universal killing At the Mountains of Madness. This is a good day.

i could see a prequel happening. sort of a terminator salvation type deal where the robots set up the first crops and harvests.

At the Mountains of Madness would have bombed just as bad. But good god, what a terrible fucking movie it turned out to be. I want that two hours of my life back. Easily one of the worst big-budget films I've ever seen.

[jtb]

fuck a Matrix remake. that movie looks better than every action movie since then... how the hell could you possibly improve it by remaking it? The only directors who could have a better grasp of directing action are... probably James Cameron, and that's it.

God, 4 years before Avatar 2 comes out and all the haters are slayed.

Such a torturous wait.

PG-13 Del Toro doesn't have box office, let alone R. Shit...I think Blade 2 was the last to really make some money.

[JdFoX187]

Difference is his film would have been good whereas Battleship was shit. I hope his box office fortunes change next year. Pacific Rim sounds like a wet dream of awesomeness.

Huh? Pan's Labyrinth did fine.

[Clayton Bigsby]

Why would anyone be anxiously waiting for a sure to be shitty follow up to the already shitty first film.

[James Woods]

Huh? Pan's Labyrinth did fine.

Yes but I mean hit status. Blade 2 was a hit. Pan's Labyrinth wasn't, though it did make money. Universal isn't giving someone 150 million dollars to make an R-rated horror/creature film, even if it does star Tom Cruise. Not even Cameron's involvement could get Mountains made with that rating.

Tom Cruise was box office poison. He was coming off Knight and Day, which was a bad bomb. Del Rio might have a chance of pushing it through now with a $100 million budget or so. But Tom Cruise was as much of a liability then as the concept.

[Boombloxer]

Statistics and the increase in box office intake with each subsequent movie say otherwise. Don't confuse critics with the average joe.

Ding, ding.

Revenge of the Fallen was a B+ for the average person.
GAF is not the mainstream.

It is very hard to explain why you need 150M, when a $5-20M horror films double their budget on a regular basis.

[Boombloxer]

It'll actually in all likelihood be more than $50m when all is said and done.

I don't understand why him getting 50M is such a big deal. His films kickstarted the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe.

[Tobor]

It's not a big deal. He'll make even more for Avengers 2, and be worth every penny.

[Manmademan]

Wait.. Please tell me RJD didn't actually get payed 50 mil for The Avengers. Please tell me it's an exaggeration.

That film is cruising to (likely) 1.4 billion worldwide at the box office alone (not to mention merchandising, which WILL be nuts), and you're sweating RDJ making $50 million?

really? REALLY?

If he doesn't deserve it, who does?

"Not Whedon!!"-Good Job Bob

[Manmademan]

"Not Whedon!!"-Good Job Bob

lol.

as writer/director Whedon deserves a ton of credit, but I'm not sure he had the film cred/resume to demand that kind of arrangement pre-avengers.

He definitely will for Avengers 2, though.

[XiaNaphryz]

lol:

Did someone seriously provide an entire of list of all the lines Rihanna said in the movie? http://www.vulture.com/2012/05/read-...attleship.html

Most people here can probably agree that RDJ deserves every cent of that $50M.

[Jason's Ultimatum]

He was looked at to play Aaron Cross in Bourne Legacy. I'm glad Renner got the part.

[Femmeworth]

I wouldn't mind a Matrix reboot actually. I've been waiting for years. That film had way too much influence to let two crummy sequels kill any future potential.

I'd rather have a Matrix TV series focusing on short stories like The Animatrix.

[Manmademan]

Most people here can probably agree that RDJ deserves every cent of that $50M.

Evans/Hemsworth/Ruffalo have to be feeling pretty salty about it though.

[Slayven]

I am sure he has enough of an "my shit don't stink" aura for a a good 5 movies.

[TheKaeptain]

Both are pretty bad. Renner is the least offensive of the two though.

[Femmeworth]

Evans/Hemsworth/Ruffalo have to be feeling pretty salty about it though.

I guess they don't really have to pretend they are jealous of Stark in the movie.

[Good Job Bob]

I am sure he has enough of an "my shit don't stink" aura for a a good 5 movies.

I wonder if he's finally going to make that 'Goners' film that was announced a while back.

[xaosslug]

Evans/Hemsworth/Ruffalo have to be feeling pretty salty about it though.

why would they be? RDJ was a very respected actor/figure before Iron Man. They couldn't possibly be as dumb as Terrence Howard to think they're anywhere near on the same level... LOL

[Kusagari]

Launching Battleship a month ahead overseas was beyond stupid. The toxic WoM had already spread to virtually everyone by the time it got here.

[artist]

Wait.. Please tell me RJD didn't actually get payed 50 mil for The Avengers. Please tell me it's an exaggeration.

DiCaprio got 50M+ for Inception which did ~825M WW.

[JdFoX187]

It's the only way it would have made any money. Too much competition for it now.

[Ganhyun]

Avengers keeps on trucking.

[mclaren777]

This is the first footage I've seen of The Avengers – is all of its CG this bad?

[JdFoX187]

That CG is bad?

Nothing in that .GIF is bad CG.

[Femmeworth]

If you think that shot is bad, you won't like the rest of the movie.

[Krogan]

It's not like there is a trailer or anything.

[Kusagari]

It's the only way it would have made any money. Too much competition for it now.

I'm not saying launching it overseas when they did was bad, but there was no reason not to launch it in America at the same time.

[-COOLIO-]

the cg is bad?

[Good Job Bob]

It's not bad but I still don't think the Hulk is quite there yet, am I alone in this?

[WonkersTHEWatilla]

Yeah Thor's cg hair looks awful.

[JdFoX187]

Curious you say that since it was Universal that got a jump start on the summer movie season early last year with Fast Five. Perhaps they should have gone ahead and released Battleship a week or two before Avengers. Not like there was any competition. Probably could have made some more money.

[mclaren777]

Nothing in that .GIF is bad CG.

The lighting on the physical characters (especially the woman) doesn't match the environment. I think it looks awful, especially for a movie with such a large budget.

[Hawkian]

25 million

hahahahahahah

[Femmeworth]

I thought it was fine, but there is always room for improvement.

[Escape Goat]

Youre a terrible poster.

[Good Job Bob]

Yeah, it's fine but I don't think it's on the level of say, Iron Man.
