Now yes many of those that were deleted may have been fake and or those that actually never saw the movie.. And in the end it is sort of the "want to see" fiasco that RT did a couple weeks ago all over again..
    It happened hours ago. Its been discussed already.

    Just saw it, it's really mediocre. The direction deserves the most criticism, Brie is a great actress but get almost nothing across due to the tired trope of powerful female = emotionless female and there's way too much going on for one film to handle. The CGI is outstanding, and the supporting cast in general does very well. I think with a few tweaks this would have been a lot better than I was expecting, but, as it is, it's not terrible but you're really not missing much by skipping it.

    Everyone, even the most strident CM haters acknowledged the film would have a strong opening weekend. Pre sale tickets already told us that.

    The true test will be the coming weeks, when people who weren't hyped for it decide to see it or not. If Rotten Tomatoes is any guide, they won't. Also, will there be many people going to see it multiple times? I strongly doubt it.

    One of two things will happen here, CM will be like Solo and drop off dramatically and lose money, or it will be like TLJ where it made bank at the box office but poisoned the Star Wars well. Hurting the franchise in the long run.
    My understanding is those movies that made a lot on their opening weekends are due to people seeing it multiple times.. Now with the rumblings I have been seeing and hearing, CM may not be that type of movie, it may be the see it once don't bother again sort, only time will tell..

    Just heard that for Thursday and maybe just in the US, the total Box Office was something like $20 million, the other thing is that Disney put the movie into 4317 theaters which from what can gather is a first..

    I'm completely cool with Cesar Romero (campy, high as a kite goof), Jack Nicholson (vain, charming, one-liner king and all-round vaudeville villain) and Heath Ledger (grimy, nihilistic, outsider, avatar of chaos) as the joker, so perhaps a different kind of Danvers will bother me less. I'm not saying an actor can't be miscast or just not very good in a particular role (Eisenberg played Luthor more like Zuckerberg IMO) but I'm not wedded to her being swole, so a lack of 'bad-ass' Captain Marvel might not bother me as much.

    Regarding that MCU switcheroo - I feel like I've seen that same RD Jr performance a million times since the 80s, so I'd be totally ok with them replacing him and going in a very different direction.



    100% agree with all of this.
    She's not a great actress for a super hero movie is the issue.

The controversy didn't help much either.

    People still pirate shit in 2019? Damn must suck to not have loots. That shit was cool to do in college. Now it would just be sad.
    Has nothing to do with not having "loots" has to do with not paying for utter shite movies and inly paying for good ones.

    Is she great? I've never seen her in anything before CM and based on her performance here, I would definitely say the opposite. CM is not a "bad" movie, but after what we've come to expect from the Marvel movies and, especially, their major stars, it definitely left me wanting. Her supporting cast are really the stars of this movie, but I think this was more of a casting flub than anything. As an example, there are plenty of jokes written into Brie's lines. You can tell they were really trying to be funny. Whether it's her timing, her delivery, or what it was, all but one or two of them fell completely flat for me. Conversely, Samuel L Jackson had me cracking up with the jokes he was given.

    As Ryme mentioned, the CGI is very well done. The Skrulls look fantastic (another GREAT casting choice to make up for Brie's performance) and the superpower effects are clean and believable, as much as superpowers can be. The real winner is the soundtrack though. If you grew up in the '90's, you will love the music throughout the entire movie. It's very well-suited towards what's occurring on the screen and gives a great ring of nostalgia to the whole film.

    I saw it in the cheap theatre here that has $8 tickets before noon. I would have been upset to have spent more than that to see this movie. Unless you really love the theatre experience for Marvel films, wait until it's streaming on Netflix. Many will be disappointed if they pay full ticket price.

    Catching up on thread seeing if it's even worth watching on a second monitor via sockshare while doing work. Given the continuity errors that are apparently introduced I'm leaning heavily towards no.

    First time I saw her was in Kong - Skull Island. Her performance was okay, certainly not memorable. Why Marvel chose her over other better suited actresses is a mystery, but it is what it is. Charlize Theron would have been my first pick, despite her age working against her. Regardless, I hate the Captain Marvel character so I'm biased against the film anyway.

In fact, most of the time, it makes them less interesting if they are given a reason.
    Well we don't know why Carol's callsign was "Avenger" either, she probably chose that because it's cool and doesn't need explaining, so your rationale is still intact.

    Charlize is not only too old, her heyday was like a decade ago (I love Charlize Theron, don't get me wrong), Hollywood is always going to cast an upcoming young actress for a part like this. Brie Larson is a hot property since Room.

    P.S. I remember her from United States of Tara mostly, where she was great.

    Average for the MCU is pretty good. DC dreams of being MCU average.

    This film was a LOT less flawed than say, Aquaman, and that movie made a billion dollars.

    I'd also add that continuity errors are not the mark of bad fiction. The original comics are full of them...

    Yeah true. It's very much a "Which Superman vs Which Goku" type of scenario. Basic Thor vs Flashpoint Diana? I'd hand it to Diana. WonderWoman vs Rune King Thor. Thor all day.

    I just think there are more incarnations of Thor that would have the upper hand overall. But there would be variances dependent on which you chose.

    Dang 51% audience score on RT just popped up. Seems a bit low though for a Marvel movie. Guessing some people might be trolling the scores.

    Rotten Tomatoes can manipulate all the reviews and ratings they want, but it's already clear by their blatant purging of over 54,000 reviews, that the vast majority of people are sick of this "Get Woke" mentality in films these days.

    Funny how they're making this about women, when 'Alita Battle Angel' never had this issue... It's almost like a movie having a female lead isn't actually the problem, and has never been the problem...

    Ah yes, "trolling". The ever convenient excuse to dismiss valid criticisms, and keep your fingers in your ears... If you honestly think 54,000 people were "trolling" when the Audience Score was down to 34% (before RT straight up reset the ratings), you're just delusional...

    In A1, Fury clearly states that Thor was the reason why Shield was making Tesseract weapons, because he was the first to show the Earth that "they're not alone and that they're hopelessly, hilariously outgunned."

    Yet, we know that actually isn't the case. Thor wasn't the first alien Fury had encountered. The Skrulls were.

    Sorry that's wrong.

    1. Why wait until half the planet is getting dusted to call "so called" most powerful character (really hoping she isn't a complete mary sue in endgame she was in her own movie from what I've heard)

    2. Shield wasn't established as name until post Iron Man

    3. Why wait to establish the advanced weapons stuff if you dealt with a situation in the 90s since you knew there was shit out there.

    It creates a lot of issues.

    Fury has no reason to lie to them and state that Thor was the reason they found out they weren't alone in the universe.

    Fury was literally part of the first incident he has no reason to lie to them.

    Untrue. They didn't know how to use the Tesseract to create those weapons until after Thor occured. Watch the post credit scene.

    And? Things are more nuanced than that. Fury had a reason. There's no reason this time.
