Yet of the 2800 reviews on IMDB, 750
were 1,2 or 3 stars, saying the movie
sucked. And going into great
thoughtful detail on why it sucked.


Many of which were written by trolls trying to tank the score. We’ve already been over this.

The movie was the most successful superhero movie in a generation, won several Oscars, and is getting multiple sequels. The trolls failed.

Spiderman Homecoming (2017)

Personally I think this movie has an above average high rating from teen appeal, however, I thought the movie has a strong ending last 40-50 minutes.

Hardly. Trolls write 3 word reviews.
Most of the negs are well thought
out and give lots of details of why
it was awful.

I'm a movie connosisseur, BP
sucked bigtime. Then it was super
hyped, and because it's full of
green blacks, got a few token
awards. Like giving one to the
talentless Whoopsie Goldfarb
30 years ago. Happens all the time.

It was successful because they over hyped the living crap out of it and it sucked a ton of people into the theaters. Like you. It wasn't just boring as hell, the story was stupid, and the acting was terrible. It was so bad my jaw dropped sometimes, like some of them had never acted before.


This Marvel Cinematic Universe seems to have boxed movie success like no other franchise in history. Captain Marvel had appearances from three fairly minor characters from the other movies: Samuel L. Jackson, Djimon Hounsou, Clark Gregg

Still the movie introduced a new character and beat all three Thor movies and both Guardians of the Galaxy films

I watched two movies this weekend

Equalizer 2 (which I liked but did not enjoy as much as the first)

and

Butterfly Kisses (an independent suspense/horror movie with a fresh take on the "found footage" genre -- very well made and kept me interested throughout)

The first one was classic, you can't
top it. Half the movie was setting
up who he was, you can't do that
twice.

These types of movies are kind
of comical in a way. They have
guys in their 50's and 60's that
supposedly have the quickness
of a 23 year old. Not even
remotely possible. Like Tom
Cruise in Jack Reacher.

Reminds me of an old show, Guns
of Will Sonnet. You had a 75 year
old guy with the reflexes of a 19
year old. Pretty funny.
