Movies - General Discussion

I saw Hangover 3 a few weeks ago. I was surprised when I saw someone brought a 1 year old into the movie but someone also brought a kid that looked like he was between six and eight years old.

I saw Man of Steel yesterday afternoon. Overall, I think it's probably the best Superman movie. The inner geek in me had some issues with it but it was still an enjoyable movie.

While Kevin Costner did a really good job in his limited minutes, I felt like Diane Lane was underused.

I'm afraid to ask how you would use Diane Lane

[Tom]

Heh, Heh

Seriously, it felt like she barely had any dialogue in the film.

I just saw This is the End. I thought it was hilarious.

Saw "White House Down" as it was really good. But too bad it will be a flop! Due to having "Olympus Has Fallen" the bigger box office hit and out beforehand.

Kind of like the summer armageddon and deep impact were both out

"The Lone Ranger" is interesting... $250 million budget (wow) and is destroyed by Rotten Tomatoes ratings. I wonder what the box office will be like...

[Tony G]

The Lone Ranger is a franchise whose time has passed. The era of the heroes of the old west have no currency with today's movie crowd.

Yahoo Movies: There's a limit, it turns out, to how much Johnny Depp and a bucket of makeup can accomplish.


For us that are not to big on comic book movies -

Silver Linings Playbook was good, also Side Effects (Jude Law) (starts off slow, but picks up) and I watched Snitch first time seeing 'The Rock' in a movie - not bad.

Yep, exactly what you said.
Looks like people aren't in love with Johnny Depp that much anymore.
"The Lone Ranger" made $73 million total (domestic + foreign). I'm guessing they will finish at $140-$150 million total.
That's $100 million lost making "The Lone Ranger" LOL. And I'm not sure that includes advertisement expenses. There has been a lot in the media.

I have a feeling that "Grown Ups 2" is going to BOMB this next weekend. Like make $12 million tops.

[WingsFan]

Adam Sandler has not been funny in years, this is sure to bomb. Last movie I liked him was 50 First Dates.

[Cody_Russell]

haha oops. "Grown Ups 2" made $42.5 million, beating "Pacific Rim" and its ridiculous budget. Ha, sucks to suck "Pacific Rim", "The Lone Ranger", and "White House Down."

[Tony G]

You seem pretty caught up in that
