Not so much. I really like Spider-Man 2 but still.Don't we all
LOL at "The House."
Also, I wonder if Disney is somewhat surprised by Cars 3 only taking in $140 million.
Wonder woman's success speaks for itself. No amount of passive aggressive remarks will finish it's legw domestic gross and worldwide gross.Seriously. The thread title sucks especially badly this week. I'm annoyed with people trying to constantly find ways to diminish the WW success.
RE: SMH: I love* how the movie so much of the forum was loving last week somehow is now only so-so.
* not really.
I realize this is down to the dynamics of who feels most emboldened to speak up, and it's different people posting, but the effect is amazing. Spectacular even.
Anyway, SMH, I still love you! You're still a fantastic movie, even if just about everybody who wanted to see you did so right away!
It's just DC nerds and the regular 'superheroes movies are garbage' members coming out of the woodwork now that everyone's seen it and enjoyed it, just like with Guardians 2. It'll happen again when Thor: Ragnarok gets a 92% on RottenTomatoes and people fill up that thread with "No steaks, too many quips, looks like a tv show"
Thor 3 gonna get the Green Lantern bump like Deadpool.It's just DC nerds and the regular 'superheroes movies are garbage' members coming out of the woodwork now that everyone's seen it and enjoyed it, just like with Guardians 2.

2 weeks later when Justice League comes out and has a worse opening weekend, that'll be some entertainment.
They should have done one more ASM movie. The first 2 weren't as bad as people made them out to be. Ending superhero movies on a duology just isn't right and probably left a bad inconclusive taste in peoples mouth. I mean even Thor got his own trilogy. Sony messed up.

Eh this is some hyperbole Amazing Spider-Man 1 was not badly received. It didn't set the world on fire but neither critical or audience reception was poor.As I said in the other thread:
A good film after three bad ones is going to have an uphill climb. Simple as that.
It is underperforming expectations at the same time that Wonder Woman is vastly overperforming expectations, so there will be some comparison. Nothing wrong with that.
As an addendum, this is what we do: compare movies under/over performing expectations, estimates, and their contemporaries. Whether it's BvS or Spider-Man seeing the drops, we're going to talk about it.

That's not true at all, DCEU fans around here basically don't leave their dedicated thread. They've become the OT equivalent of Xbox fans on Gaming side.
Bronx Man..... Get some perspective.
Really gonna throw around such absurd generalizations just because not everybody is as enamored with the new Spider-Man movie as you are? Hell no.
It was ok. Don't gotta be a dc fanboy or shit on all comic book movies to think that.
Personally I'd love a Renew Your Vows movie or a Spider-Girl movie with an older married to MJ, Peter Parker.Someone bring back Raimi for a Dark Knight Returns-esque Spider-Man with 40 yo Tobey!

In the other thread we pitched a Logan-esque movie with old Tobey and a young Miles Morales in post-apocalyptic New York.Personally I'd love a Renew Your Vows movie or a Spider-Girl movie with an older married to MJ, Peter Parker.
Come on now. We don't need to promote this sort of infighting on the boards. Many of those posters are active in other film-related threads.

I mean, I liked Amazing fine enough, but it's clear that Spider-Man 3 > Amazing > Amazing 2 all form a clear downward trend in Spider-Man box office revenues. Even looking at the meta, we were down for SM3, up for Amazing, and back down for Amazing 2, but never touching the first or Spider-Man 2. Critically, Homecoming is sitting roughly around where the first did.
It's a course correction.

Disco is something else though. Disco got weird opinions on stuff. =P
Yeah but up for AM1 means we weren't in a streak of 3 bad films far from it which goes against your point.I mean, I liked Amazing fine enough, but it's clear that Spider-Man 3 > Amazing > Amazing 2 all form a clear downward trend in Spider-Man box office revenues.

People like to shit on 3 but it wasn't bad aside from the stupid dance number and the incredibly stupid idea to have emo peter do the hustle

Legs also matter a lot I think the fact were not on a streak of 3 bad films means Homecoming won't necessarily have amazing legs to make up the up the initial sales.
People like to shit on 3 but it wasn't bad aside from the stupid dance number and the incredibly stupid idea to have emo peter do the hustle, and the fact that Eddie basically should have been in 3 to build the hatred and tension and featured in 4. It's a flawed but entertaining movie with Raimi style.
Peter wasn't emo.
The dance number was fucking funny
I thought that the second fight between Peter and Harry in Harry's mansion was better.The whole Harry vs Peter fight in the beginning was awesome, and easily the best action sequence in the film.
Peter was sterotypically emo. The style the haircut the attitude. He literally could not be more if he tried. I went to school with that dude man. It was all there.Peter wasn't emo.

Danny Elfman is superhero score based god.The score for Spider-Man 3 is spectacular. The Birth of Sandman especially.
