I honestly can't think of a Michael Shannon performance he half assed. Even something like Premium Rush or his cameos in They Came Together and Lets go to Prison.
Yup. It's still his be-all-end-all performance as far as I'm concerned. Great movie all around, and still the best from Nichols.
Oh please let this happen! With Miller.
I'd rather a sequel to Fury Road that follows Furiosa and how she handles leading her new people as well as battles with the other broken factions who also have new leaders stepping up. It would also be interesting if Furiosa discovers that she's slowly turning into another Immortan Joe because she realizes what he did was out of necessity in order to ensure the survival of his people in this stark environment and she's making the same decisions despite hating her life under his regime.
A prequel seems unnecessary because I think we know all we need to know about her past. I don't think it's vital that we're shown her childhood, how she became Imperator, or how she lost her arm. Leaving the details to the imagination is better imo since we had glimpses of her past in Fury Road.

I can't wait for this train wreck
At least we have the Big Guy as Brock. That's perfect casting.
So a mid 50s drop? How's that stack up against other 115-120m OW movies and where have similar films with that size 2nd Wknd drop ended up after their BO run?
A mid 50s drop is considered good on the MCU scale. Most of their films drop 55-60% in their second weekend.
I guess it still could fall into that range depending on just how low 50s it records. Are we most likely looking at 320m-340m DOM?
For comparison, Star Trek Beyond's opening weekend was $59m.

Star Trek Beyond deserved better.
The only mistake the movie made was that laughable Beasty Boys scene
It paid for the sins of Into Darkness.

It paid for the shitty marketing sins of Paramount.
The "sins" of Into Darkness got immediately/drastically overinflated by Star Trek fandom.
If Faraci hadn't written about that one fan convention that voted it the "worst film in the series" and if that resultant blogpost hadn't gone viral the day it did, pretty much cementing the bullshit narrative that it was a terrible movie everyone hated...
I dunno. It mighta still underperformed.
But Beyond's box-office performance has not much to do with Into Darkness, and EVERYTHING to do with Paramount completely fucking botching its marketing on the 50th anniversary of the series.
Anyway, just for the fuck of it:
1) Wrath of Khan
2) Star Trek
3) The Undiscovered Country
4) Beyond
5) First Contact
6) Into Darkness
7) The Voyage Home
8) The Search for Spock
9) The Motion Picture
10) Generations
11) Insurrection
12) Nemesis
13) The Final Frontier

I thought Into Darkness was pretty boring.

The DIRT BIKE STUNTS shit was worse by miles.
I also laughed my ass off during the zero gravity "Take That Inception!" scenes and it completely took me out of the action.

I too have only ever watched the new films, and I've never watched the TV series, and yet my newb mind knows that Into Darkness was a steaming pile of shit. I can't remember a single redeeming thing from that film. As person who saw the first film three times in theatres, due to being so surprised in how good it was (was dragged by a friend to see it the first time), I was really disappointed with how the second one ended up being.
We hungry cuh

Bad things about Star Trek 2009:
Kirk is a fucking dick
Spock is a dick
Bad things about Into Darkness:
Cumberbatch shouldn't be Khan, just a dude
Scotty leaving was dumb
Bad things about Beyond:
Hiding Idris Elba for half the film
Motorbike Mayhem
Tyrese can only do SO much

Shit when I was younger and it finally aired on HBO. They'd replay the movie at certain times everyday. I watched it more times than I can count.

Into Darkness had the flimsiest plot to connect set pieces. It's really bizarre.
Correct. I've seen it like 30 times probably. Always catch it when it's on TV.
It's always a fun time. It introduced Tyrese to the franchise and is endlessly quotable.
