DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS Tops THE BATMAN As Highest Grossing Release Of 2022 In U.S.

@tmp3

Have avoided the JW trailers but caught some tv spots recently and it looks so bad.

@DoubleD - this post is about domestic box office bro, i'd be surprised if maverick missed $400m dom which is something strange will just scrape by. could see top gun legging it to $500m, even, since wom is next level good (A+ cs, 99% audience score)

@DoubleD - we shall see not out yet

@DoubleD

Lol…a little context, my buddies who don’t go to the movies every month like I do, have seen Top Gun before me and all of them have been raving about it.



One said he thinks it might be his favorite movie theater experience.

Feel like you’re underestimating the audience response to this movie.

@DoubleD

The world is bigger than your sister and husband. That’s not the only unsolicited text I got this weekend about Top Gun 😐

The A+ Cinemascore and 99% verified audience leave zero doubt it’s going to have great legs.

@tmp3

Everyone I’ve talked to has said the same thing. Haven’t seen this much unanimous praise thrown at a summer blockbuster in a long time.

@Spock0Clock - accurate. Alright just gonna break it down with how I felt about it as it went along:

The opening scene was exciting enough.
The wedding was a wedding, I guess I felt how I was supposed to feel. Like, just get through this lol
Monster attacks the city, wasn’t paced well to me. I think it’s about here that the score stuck out to me in a bad way.
Nothing meant to be funny stuck the landing for me.
Strange conjures up a weird critter to bite the monster, it was more like “what was that” then “coool”
Giant hand spell also was not on the level of Spiral the 6 arm spell or other cool spells.
America was meh. I don’t feel like bashing a teenager’s feelings but she was just not like penis Parker and friends. Uncharismatic.
Explanation of dreams felt hokey.
The orchard, the attack on Titan, All things Wanda were perfect but one, the bad cgi when she came out the mirror.
Going through the portal was cool.
Earth 2 was 👎🏿Green is stop red is go? That’s the best you could do? Stop trying to look like Demolition Man.
Bruce Campbell great as always.
Hey at least we get mordo in some form but marvel, that’s a loose thread, ya jerks.
Illuminati, all cool, but here comes strange with some more not funny jokes.
Wanda sleepwalking made the dream thing retroactively less hokey like ok I see where you’re going. Please continue.
BOY OH BOY did that song her kids sang give me the cringe! It was horrible! That was corrrrrrNY, son!
Wanda slaughtering the Illuminati was 👏👏👏👏👏

No need to go through the rest, I liked everything from that point forward. I used to rate movies by 5 stars with 1&2 negative and 3-5 positive but I needed one more on each side so now 1-3 is negative and 4-7 is positive. First time I watched it I gave it 5 stars. Second time I dropped it to 4. The cringe when those kids sang…

@BO31 - bro can I just be honest about a movie without you whining, I’m guessing if my review were perfect I’d never hear from you but it’s not worth lying over, it didn’t attain to NWH and yet I give it a positive star rating, it’s at the lowest of the positive star ratings for me. Still a win. But not for you cuz you want it to be my favorite movie or else not talk about it. Too bad chump!
