Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow
 
I hope this makes $2 billion and this just becomes the reality that the haters have to live with.

Seeing the Thursday night numbers come in was pretty cathartic.
Haters? O lord

I mean i knew if this did bad review wise it would cause some shit but...jesus.

I stupidly read the comments on the YouTube video for lego batman...its like marvel killed every last person who commented family.

"O look i bet this gets the good critic reviews because it has comedy like marvel..its so edgy like marvel amirite critics"

I died of laughter
 
I hated Spider-Man 3 for years. I recently rewatched it though and... it's not awful? Like there's clearly way too much going on and both Emo Parker and Foreman Venom are embarrassing, but it still has a coherent plot, well-shot action scenes, and a lot of genuinely fun moments. It's like a 6/10 movie. It's unfortunate that Raimi wasn't allowed to just make the movie he wanted to.
Does the part where Harry is blackmailing Mary Jane make sense now? I was so angry after leaving the theatre I never watched it again.
 
What's gonna have the lower score on RT? This or tmnt out of the shadows?
Well the trailers make it seem like they fixed the issues of the first movie, but produced by Michael Bay.
*shrugs*

Edit: I feel for you BvS fans. Hopefully it beats Green Lantern. That movie pissed me off.
 
I am no hater, its just fun an easy to make jokes over that movie.
Like I said 5/10 while the movie is pretty boring and fels appart when as more as you think about it
 
I SEEN'T IT!

No spoilers. Just impressions. The reviews I have skimmed featured words like 'joyless', 'mess', and 'slog' -- and I find all of those descriptors to be apt quite frankly. There are a couple of good, well shot sequences (awe inspiring at times) in this movie but the end product just left me feeling empty. The first half was simply a chore to get through, you could feel it in the audience -- the feeling of them getting impatient. There are some scenes that just flat out made me feel uneasy to the point where I had to wonder if Zack even viewed these characters as something that children might be into. There is a certain mischaracterization of one of these superheroes that I felt betrayed everything that drew me to him in the first place -- it's blatant and happens on multiple occasions. A staple of his creed, the most quintessential aspect of who he is, something I would wager most of the general audience knows about this character. Lastly the references made to the larger DC cinematic universe were so sloppily and haphazardly done, it simply took me out of the movie.

I didn't like Man of Steel, and I enjoyed this movie even less. In fact, this movie has cemented how much Zack Snyder is a mismatch for this franchise for me. I honestly have no desire to watch Justice League after this and this is coming from a DC fan whose gateway into superheroes/comic books as a kid was Batman and Superman in the early 90's. God, I hope Suicide Squad is good, or it's going to be 3 for 3.

Still doesn't make sense, but I think the best thing that came from my second viewing is that I realize now that it is Peter, not Mary Jane, who was the bad partner. I remember thinking as a teenager that she treated him quite poorly. But Peter has no regard for her feelings at all, talks over her and makes every conversation about himself, and is just generally shitty to her throughout most of the movie. It's not even a black suit thing. He's a bad boyfriend.
