Lost me at "Now of course, a lot of Marvel fanboys will hope and pray it fails but".

 

[jon bones]

when do actual reviews come out? today, right?

edit: wed, i can't read

 

[Messypandas]

Some pretty awesome billboard work going for this movie

Nice to hear a positive review too, seems Fox are on a roll now.

 

[Discotheque]

oh wow yeah that's a really cool billboard for sure.

 

[Toa TAK]

This thread is all doom and gloom.

Let's look for some positives:

+ Soundtrack by the incredible Philip Glass
+ Positive reactions to screenings so far (looking at twitter and other places)

Isn't Marco Beltrami also doing the score?

Yeeeah, I'll be cautious about that one.

 

[Certinty]

The more I see this trailer the better it looks. Good to know the first review out there is promising too.

That's pretty damn cool.

Let's guess Rotten Tomato scores! I say it hits like 64%. This is a number I pulled out of my ass.

Lost me at "Now of course, a lot of Marvel fanboys will hope and pray it fails but".

It's not entirely wrong. I've seen a fair few comments with people hoping it bombs terribly so FOX give up and hand the rights back to Marvel.

I hope it does well, but I'm not expecting a lot. The Thing looks great, so the movies are slowly getting better. It's just a shame that Doom looks like he does.

Every time you people guess RT scores there should be something on the line.

It might not be wrong, but you don't put that shit in a review.

Why, I don't really give a shit if I'm right or not.

A quick search on Twitter shows some positive impressions coming from that screening tonight, this guy retweeted some of them

https://twitter.com/smichaelmadden

Been rooting for this movie, i believed in Trank from when he signed on, i thought from Chronicle alone he showed such great promise, so i've been hoping he'd pull through, i these reactions seem to be a good sign so far.

also while i'm still here 2 more things: the Phillip Glass/Marco Beltrami score is pretty incredible; and Disney is directly promoting this movie on the Disney Channel

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D94KOa0hhoM

I guess Fox and Marvel/Disney's relationship isn't as hostile as it appeared to be? It's weird because Disney Channel does these style of promos for the last few MCU films, but none for any Fox Marvel movies like the past few X-movies or such. Huh. Y'know i read some crazy bs sounding rumor earlier this month that Marvel and Fox's relationship was being repaired and that they were negotiating to do an Avengers Vs X-Men movie in like 2020 or some shit. I didn't believe it at all, but it sounds a little....intriguing now after this recent discovery.

Early impressions are always positive.

 

[Messypandas]

69

83 hopefully. 80 of that might just be my bias towards a Philip Glass shared score.

 

[Toa TAK]

Why, I don't really give a shit if I'm right or not.

It makes for a more exciting read. Some drama for your mama.

Early impressions are always positive.

TASM2 was mixed, if I recall correctly.

The first screening of Sony's The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was just held, and impressions of the Marc Webb-directed sequel have already emerged on Twitter mostly with high praise. Check them out!

I'm starting to see a pattern with Comicbookmovies.com...

 

[Miles Quaritch]

It might not be wrong, but you don't put that shit in a review.

Fair point. It's a bit disappointing the reviewer felt they had to add it, but it doesn't surprise me either.

 

[Discotheque]

it's a site called comicbookmovie.com i'd expect them to put that in the review and much more.

it's not like it's some major professional publication or anything lol.

Hahahaha

I will write up my review on the movie as I head back home on the train. LOST FOR WORDS. Best movie of the year in my opinion #TASM2

It wasn't even the best superheromovie of 2014

Hahaha, I still get a kick reading those.

I loathe that movie.

 

[DarkFlow]

Hahahaha

I liked this one.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Talk about upping your game. Big fat five stars from me, thank you very much. Cap 2 can fuck right off. #SpiderMan

 

[neorej]

I liked this one.

Glorious!

 

[Nephtis]

So why does Doom have a Ford Fusion grill for a mouth?

 

[samn]

I'm sorry but I just don't think the Whiplash guy can be a big star. He doesn't have the face for it. He's like Jeremy Renner, one of those people movie execs are pushing on us that we don't really want.

I'll always rate someone's acting ability over their face to be honest.

They said the same about guys like Steve Buscemi and the opposite of guys like Casper van Dien. Rating actors by their looks is rarely wise.

 

[Broken Joystick]

Let's guess Rotten Tomato scores! I say it hits like 64%. This is a number I pulled out of my ass.

62

Every time you people guess RT scores there should be something on the line.

If I'm wrong I have to watch the film.

 

[jett]

Most comic book movies, for reasons, seem to clear 60%.

 

[Downhome]

I'm throwing out a score 47% once it settles.

 

[neorej]

62



If I'm wrong I have to watch the film.

 

[TheGreatDirector]

I really want this movie to do well.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

I really want this movie to do well.

Let's just hope it's good first

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Most comic book movies, for reasons, seem to clear 60%.

Probably because most of them are entertaining and good fun.

 

[Magwik]

I really want this movie to do well.

So do I but I know in the back of my head it will be topped by DBZ at the BO, for the first week at least.

 

[Fury451]

TASM2 was mixed, if I recall correctly.

I thought I recall it being quite positive, which is why I was hopeful, especially because I quite enjoyed the first ASM.

Boy was I surprised beyond my wildest expectations.

 

[Anton Sugar]

Lost me at "Now of course, a lot of Marvel fanboys will hope and pray it fails but".

Why? This thread, and EVERY FF thread on GAF, aligns with that statement.

 

[Garlador]

Some pretty awesome billboard work going for this movie

I can't shake the mental image of the Human Torch wantonly flying around destroying property and billboards for kicks and giggles now.

"I could just fly around it but... nah."

Man of Steel destruction debate round 2.

 

[Garlador]

Man of Steel destruction debate round 2.

Avengers 2 as well.

Pointless property damage and destruction porn are SO in right now.

 

[The Elite]

Avengers 2 as well.

Pointless property damage and destruction porn are SO in right now.

Pointless?

It seems like Man of Steel's final action sequence is a major catalyst for the events in BvS.

As for Avengers 2,

Spoiler

Banner takes the destruction caused while he was under the influence of Scarlet Witch very seriously. He leaves the group and goes into hiding.

Still, destruction is fun!

 

[guek]

FTFY

I'm guessing maybe 64 though hoping for at least 75.

 

[jon bones]

beep boop

 

[Triggerhappytel]

I guess 52%

Well, some of it is always necessary... but did it have to be IHOPs and Sears?

And that government satellite at the end was just uncalled for.
But nothing tops this overreaction.

"That guy poured a beer on me... I'm going to RUIN HIS LIFE!"
Clark, clark... Seriously, your mother raised you better than that.

 

[Anton Sugar]

Clark, clark... Seriously, your mother raised you better than that.

Good ol' Clark, honoring his dead father's wish of not revealing his super power.

 

[Messypandas]

To be fair that might have been attributed to a freak gust of wind lol

 

[Straight Edge]

He did it so quietly too.

Yeah, that bit was weird. He should have let the guy punch him, and then act like the blow was weak, grab him by the wrist and put him down without actually throwing a single punch. Humiliate him because he's obviously a dick, but there's no need to wreck his livelihood.
