finally got around to watching this, & iā€™ll say it was just average. didnā€™t hate it but it didnā€™t wow me either. some decent action but i found the overall story boring. usually iā€™ll watch something twice for another opinion but i think this is a 1 & done for me

Watched it tonight and felt similar, a decent movie but didnā€™t wow me in any way.

I think this will join the growing list of entertaining but one and done second tier Marvel flicks, which seems to include everything theyā€™ve released post Endgame.

The MCU needs a shared plot, without a shared storyline it kind of feels pointless. Still entertaining but I donā€™t think itā€™s ever going to regain the ā€œmust seeā€ status it had before without something to tie the stories together and build up to something bigger.

FF has that same feeling of apathy that Thunderbolts* had.

I do think there is a significant amount of "interest in MCU but not enough to pay for movie tickets" level of caring. Which means plenty of people forgoing seeing a film in theaters and waiting a few months to watch "for free" at home on D+.

Once you go beyond the main characters, there's not a ton of interest. Especially, when you can wait to see it for "free" on D+.

Brave New World seemed more like a direct to VHS movie. Good, but not a cinematic experience. Another issue with these "local hero" MCU characters (besides Spidey). It's not big enough, unless really well done (WandaVision).

Based on the presales for opening night numbers for The Fantastic Four compared to other movies this year, even Superman, people will show up. But whether they continue to go back for rewatching depends on the quality of the films itself.

Also, I disagree FF has the feeling of apathy Thunderbolts* had, given how big FFā€™s trailer was back in February and that it has no ties to Disney+ shows or movies that came before it.

So, that will be the case in 3.5 weeks from now.

Now consider that none of those will do particularly wellā€¦

ā€¦then try to data mine yahoo and see what ā€œsecretā€ conclusion you come to. Case study

The only one that wonā€™t do well is the new Jurassic World movie, now that it has ended up with a Rotten score on Rotten Tomatoes, which will turn some audiences away from showing up, especially after Dominion barely limped to a billion with bad reviews, a sign that the franchise was out of gas even before Fallen Kingdom and Dominion came out.

We all can bet on our ā€œponyā€ before the race startsā€¦and then the fun part is seeing who wins? šŸŽ

F1 looks really cool. The reviews are pretty good. I wonder if it could be the black horse of this race. I think I'd rather see it over Jurassic World.

The box office is having a brutal year overallā€¦reviews havenā€™t seemed to matter too much to this pointā€¦

So thatā€™s why all predictions made based on statistics pulled from random tweeters may not hit the target šŸŽÆ
