I'm not talking about the Shazam movie, they gave her some google questions when you type "Captain Marvel" and some of the questions are clearly about DCs Captain Maravel (Shazam) since its asking if he can beat superman which is a fight people love to see and has been done many times, the only question that is clearly meant for Marvel's Captain Marvel is the one complaining about her not having the black costume.

Putting it on a maximum number of screens does not denote that people will actually fill them. It only denotes that the studio/TPTB really, really wants it out there.

(Looks like the meme I posted earlier, is already on this thread.

)

I really can't believe the statements she's making about "sexism". Yeesh, too bad she can't actually use her voice toward a country that actually has legalized sexism (i.e. Saudi Arabia), but I'm sure that would affect the box office sales in the Middle East.

... and, hundreds of millions of people would want to see this film.

It will gross a mass amount of money, and, unlike BvS, it will have the legs to leap past other, low-fare flicks.

It will instantly make back it's budget in its first week.

Nothing in Captain Marvel will beat the awesome No Man's Land sequence from Wonder Woman

Ragnarok is terrible.

It's absolutely the movie it wants to be and I wouldn't call it terrible on its own right. Unfortunately, it's pretty horrible as Thor 3. Everything, every sideplot, every relationship that was set up in 1 and 2 was thrown away to make room for a camp romp.

The early reviews indicate otherwise. Looks like DC have a big hit on it's way

Thor Ragnarok is the closest thing to a live action version of a Saturday morning cartoon from my childhood.

So of course I enjoyed it, would have better if it was He-Man, Thundercats, etc.

By the way, the audience score on Rotten Tomatoes... Wow. Not only is it the lowest audience rating for an MCU movie to date, it's the first one to get the toppled pop corn bucket. It's at 32% right now and just came out.

*Papenbrook* · 03-08-2019, 07:47 AM

It's getting bombed on Metacritic too ( The User Review, when averaged out, present an overall average score. The User Rating, however, oh boy ... )

It seems that trolls are obsessed with this particular film.

last I saw it was at 50%. how did it get to 32 so fast?

It'll be interesting to see second week box office drop.

By the power of sexist trolls ...

Captain Marvel will never experience a drop; it will spring forward forever.

I'm sure the porn parody that comes out afterwards will be amazing!

Just saw it. It's awful.

I'm pretty sure Batman v Super-man was a financial success despite it being mediocre/bad.

I am shocked at that score. I find it really hard to believe that the movie is this bad. I suspect that people just don't like Captain Marvel as a fictional character, I doubt the movie is as bad as that score indicates bc that like fantastic 4 bad. I am also betting that Brie Larson being controversial right now is driving down the score a bit too.

Wow checked out the score and it is a measly 34%. The comments/rating indicate that some people are giving 5 stars just to spite those who don't like. I am sure the same can be said for the critics who give it 1 star.

This movie looks like it is going to be a financial success. So essentially this movie is going to be the Batman v Superman of the MCU

*Allio* · 03-08-2019, 11:21 AM

the movie was okay overall, started off decent and then found a good milddle (thanks to support cast) but after Carol got her powers the film fell apart as the tension was no longer there.

Spoiler: The Skrulls having accents is sort of explained by the twist with Mar-Vel hiding them out in a station above Earth and equipped with things from the planet like arcade games, presumably movies too, so I didn't mind that. This was such a waste of Samuel L Jackson anbd Gregg was just reduced to fleeting cameos. There were virtually no stakes the entire film. Everything was too cosy and perfect. Pure Hallmark cheese. __________________ Spider-Man: The Rescue Spider-Man: The Galloping Cat Spider-Man: Scarlet Mirror Doctor Who: Child of the Daleks
