That's true. Star wars IX will be interesting to watch this december. I doubt it will beat endgame, tho.
Agreed. I don't think it beats Endgame. I think it will do very well at the BO, though. Will be an easy $1 billion, maybe $1.5 billion.
is this san diego comic con or the biggest movie event of all time? I've never seen anything like this for a movie where people are sitting in waiting rooms trying to get tickets.
ticket ordering websites are crashing around the world. they weren't ready for the hype. I had a feeling EVERYONE was going to want tickets for opening weekend, like more than anyone could possibly imagine.
apparently 3x more than infinity war. the movie with the biggest opening weekend of all time. like FUCK
Nice. Did you live through the chaos of all the websites crashing? Or did you have a pretty easy time getting the tickets?
The cinemark app finally started working after being down most of the day.
New Endgame tv spot is out. With a little new footage and dialogue:
4 of the last 5 MCU flicks will have made $1 billion after Endgame releases.
Sheesh.
Just rewatched Thor. Holds up well in my opinion, and reflecting back on it 8 years later is really interesting, knowing where the Thor franchise ends up with Ragnarok.
Lots of great stuff in here: For one, an awesome soundtrack. To this day some of the best cinematography in the MCU. It's just a gorgeous looking film.
At times, Thor really feels like a movie stuck between the old era of comic book movies and the new. The Jane romantic subplot feels like an absolute relic of early/mid 2000s comic book movies where you HAD to have a love interest for the hero. As time's gone on blockbusters in general have clearly moved away from that stuff, so it definitely felt weird going back and seeing so many of those scenes between Hemsworth and Portman.
Thor was really the MCU dipping its toes into the cosmic side of things for the first time, so I understand having the physicists there at all times to kinda act like that surrogate for the audience. But it's clear at this point that that role is really no longer needed, and someone like Hemsworth or Larson or any of the Guardians can play these crazy cosmic characters and get by with their charisma alone, no surrogate characters required.
The best stuff by far is the interaction between Thor, Loki and Odin. Hiddleston and Anthony Hopkins just go full Shakespeare and act their asses off. It's really great. Meanwhile, Hemsworth definitely comes off as a bit green still, but it was clear from the start that his charisma was off the charts. I still laugh my ass off at I NEED A HORSE, and it's all his delivery. He's only gotten better over the years, and amazingly enough, the Ragnarok rendition of the character really feels like the logical evolution of the Thor we met in this very first movie.
Overall I was surprised how much I enjoyed coming back to this one. Cap 1 is next!
Truer words have never been spoken.
Dolby > IMAXThis thread will be the only internet place I visit starting from the premiere till I've seen the movie. Shit finna get ugly.
As someone who doesn't have much experience with Dolby theaters, what do y'all prefer between it and IMAX? I live just down the highway from a genuine IMAX theater, but it still uses old seats, which are comfortable enough, but not the recliners you get with Dolby shows.
I pretty much hit all bases opening weekend; IMAX 2D, then IMAX 3D (couldn't be helped if I wanna go twice opening night), Dolby on Saturday, and I've got my eye on an RPX on Sunday with a few friends.
You better not screw this up. You two sound adorable as hell.My girlfriend showed why she is going to be my wife this morning.
Me: Did you see that Endgame broke the record for most tickets sold in the first 24 hours?
Her: Really? That's crazy!
Me: Guess how long it took?
Her: How long?
Me: 6 hours!
Her: WHAT!? I'm so hyped that we got our tickets! We have to do re-watch of all of the movies!
Me:
... I would like that very much.
FTFY
Heh, at first I thought that top part said that your girlfriend was going to be WITH your wife.My girlfriend showed why she is going to be my wife this morning.

Haha, I already knew it but she's definitely the one. We agreed to make a list of which movies to watch tonight (I have posted my list here) and she even suggested to skip Antman and the Wasp without knowing that I choose to skip it in my list.

That's awesome though.
Dolby > IMAX
IMAX screens are too large and generally not worth the surcharge given that so few films are made with IMAX cameras and most IMAX screens are not legit.
But it's kinda necessary for Endgame.Haha, I already knew it but she's definitely the one. We agreed to make a list of which movies to watch tonight (I have posted my list here) and she even suggested to skip Antman and the Wasp without knowing that I choose to skip it in my list.
Correct, & speaking of IMAX vs. Dolby...In general, I agree but weren't IW and Endgame filmed entirely with IMAX cameras?

Only 30 milllion less than Justice League.
Like I've said here, while it is necessary in order to get a full understanding of the Quantum Realm tech, I expect there to be a quick recap in Endgame explaining how it works. Not to mention, we both find it boring and not a very good movie.
I get that but Scott is going to have to explain what/where has happened to him since they last saw hi. Whatever that explanation is will be good enough for me just so long as I don't have to waste 2 and half hours of my life again.They're pretty much packing as much as they can into the three hour runtime without recapping a movie anyone can go and watch on Netflix right now.
Yup. The rest of the characters in Endgame don't know what the hell Pym's quantum tech is, so there'll be sufficient exposition.I get that but Scott is going to have to explain what/where has happened to him since they last saw hi.

Absolutely no reason to watch Ant-Man and the Wasp before Endgame
