B+ is considered a borderline score, anything below that is bad. And Cinemascore is far from meaningless it’s been the most reliable predictor of a movie’s overall box office performance for decades now. Rotten Tomatoes is mostly useless, it can in some instances gauge if a movie will over perform or under performing on opening weekend, but most times it’s useless for measuring any kind of box office performance.

For some reason the Brad Pitt crime drama Killing Them Softly got an F Cinemascore.

I mean, Cinemascore is honestly one of the better ways to judge these things if you get used to the gonzo way the ratings work, considering that they poll people leaving the theater, it's not self-selecting at all.Wheat Loaf posted:Does anything ever get a bad CinemaScore other than horror movies? Even good horror movies tend to get "F" don't they? This is honestly the worst way to do this. Movie discussion is too polarized these days and varies way too much on where you're looking.

Rhyno posted:First Class is a good movie. It is but like it didn’t do great money and was really front loaded. And to that point had the lowest final domestic box office of any X-Men movie. So the Cinemascore was right on with its box office prediction.

Audiences sometimes rethink their opinion on a movie and would give it a lower score if asked again. Nobody’s sitting at home analyzing Venom and upgrading it to an A.muscles like this! posted:For some reason the Brad Pitt crime drama Killing Them Softly got an F Cinemascore. The trailers made it look like it had more action than it did. Misleading genres is one good way to get a low score.

Yeah. Look at Aronofsky’s Mother! for a good example of just that. It was marketed as a thriller/horror and turned out being a convoluted biblical allegory. Audiences were not happy. Also it was a bad film on top of that.

I suppose some people could also have had a bad opinion of the movie seeing as how it ends with Brad Pitt cold bloodily murdering the main character, who up to that point had been portrayed as kind of a dopey gently caress up.

Killing Them Softly is a perfectly ok movie. Unless you saw the advertising for it. In which can see why you’d come out of that film disappointed. The trailers advertised a movie a that didn’t exist.

During Mark Ruffalo's censored Avengers 4 spoiler bit on Fallon he apparently called it "The Last Avenger." Makes it very symmetrical with The First Avenger but I'm not sure I buy it being the actual title. AngryBooch fucked around with this message at 20:34 on Oct 7, 2018 |

First Class is overrated. Days of Future Past is actually really good. The scene where Charles talks to Charles is powerful. The ending is sweet. First Class as a cool first half and then a back half that sinks it.

Hey, Venom was...good? Not a perfect movie but it was in the "so-so, I might watch again if it ends on Netflix". The first half was quite boring and was I starting to regret watching it, but then things go nuts out of sudden and it was loving fun. Is it my rotten brain, or does Venom had a crush on Eddie? He makes out with him and then goes like "I'm staying in this weirdo planet because of youuuuuuu!" Also, his "anti-superhero/superhero" speech at the end was loving cheesy and hilarious. Like he was trying so hard.

Teenage Fansub posted:First Class was such a failure they only made three sequels. Sort of? I'm not sure I'd call them sequels. They literally vivisected half the cast of First Class (including, basically, the entire titular "First Class") in the next film and retooled it into a Wolverine vehicle vehicle like the first 3 movies. That's as close to a full reboot as you can get without jettisoning Jennifer Lawrence. DoFP was real good, though.

I just saw Venom, and I liked it. It’s a REAL slow burn until Eddie gets the symbiote, and then it’s off the wall and I had a blast. The Eddie/Venom dialogue was great, and the action was largely varied and clever. The end fight was a little “eh” but I didn’t mind. The mid-credits scene actually worked WAY better than I expected it to. I’m a long-time fan of Venom from the comics, and I was super concerned that cutting Spider-Man’s relationship out of the equation was going to cripple the character, because I think that’s one of the most interesting parts of Venom and what sets him apart from the rest of Spidey’s rogues gallery. But they made it work, and I’m okay with it. I was also okay with it being PG13, and I’m not sure that an outright R rating would have benefited the movie that much. Like, you could still tell that Venom was wrecking people and that people were dying, and I’m not sure that I needed to see full-on dismemberment and buckets of blood to convey that Venom was steamrolling people and they weren’t getting back up. Also Days or Future Past is awesome and easily my favorite X-Men movie. I’m of two minds about it, though. The ending is perfect and I’d have been absolutely okay with that being the end of the franchise and them not making any more X-Men movies, but at the same time, ‘Logan’ is fantastic.... and it kinda shits all over the ending of DoFP.

DoFP was good in the sense that it retconned the X-Men timeline in the most comics way ever, and I'd wish they ended it at that. It was hella imperfect but that ending made up for almost everything. I also liked Venom. Tom Hardy carried the movie with his acting. Also hilarious how a film where heads are bitten off can still be given a PG-13 rating.

Hellboy had an exclusive sizzle reel at NYCC and it sounds real goodquote:The Hellboy panel at New York Comic Con unveiled a two-minute con-exclusive sizzle reel to the delight of the crowd. It gave us our first look at Harbour’s Hellboy—who immediately sets himself apart from Ron Perlman’s original rendition. While Perlman’s Hellboy was gruff and worn down with age and experience, Harbour’s feels younger, impetuous, and not up for anybody’s poo poo. For example, one of the first shots we see—after a glimpse of him walking through a large cavern toward Excalibur, which is a key part of the Wild Hunt storyline being used for the film—was him screaming at a police officer who shot at him after he arrived at the scene of a mass murder.
