Captain Marvel (Official Thread) March 8th 2019: 7th Marvel Film To Cross 1B$

Good movie. Felt just like antman2. Like the undercard for next months main event

 

[Scottie Drippin]

Was a solid 7/10

The good guys had a real charm to them. Very likable. Very easy to root for them at the end.

Once the switch though there's not an ounce of menace in the opposition. There's zero reason to think she's in any danger past Midway into this movie. She just kept beating up the same group of people over and over again, and the uses of her powers weren't even that cool.

But I imagine the Russo's will fix all of that.

This nikka @Eric Brooks mad as hell

Hey, I'm not the one who made 90% of the DCEU movies trash. The fact that the MCU is the machine that it is, with DC in the rear view mirror lets you know how much those nikkas dropped the ball. Yall easily had the more popular heroes with higher name recognition. MCU didn't even have Spider-Man until 2017, this empire was built with lesser known characters.

Captain Marvel on pace to DISMANTLE Justice League's Box Office numbers. Ain't no way that should've been possible

You just posted a dissertation with no factual evidence of anything besides your own personal opinions and I'm supposedly mad?

You are dumb as fukk lol

Holy easter eggs

You must've taken the short bus to school if you think what I just posted is a dissertation lol.

 

[momma]

I thought the movie was solid all-around but very clumsy / clunky in many respects. The pacing being really off-balance was my main complaint

That mid-credits scene tho...

 

[Drew Wonder]

This movie just didn’t work for me at all. Jokes didn’t land, lazy acting, uninspired plot. Had a few cool visuals here and there but overall just very bland. Probably the worst Marvel movie I’ve ever seen. At least Iron Man 3 took risks

They tried to do this 90s nostalgia version of Guardians of the Galaxy but the writing wasn’t nearly as good.

And Brie Larson’s performance was just....blah. Idk if she’s supposed to be super laid back in the comics but it’s like she didn’t even wanna be there.

Yeah, I should’ve waited until this hit Netflix, feel like I wasted my money.

And no, I’m not a Marvel hater. Far from it. But I really wasn’t feeling this movie at all.

You must have taken the short bus to school if you don't understand hyperbole. You wrote a paragraph to me... about nothing. Utter nonsense. I guess you really thought "I got this dude.. " after you hit reply?

 

[Drew Wonder]

Movie was cool. Not great by MCU standards but still a solid watch. By DC standards, it'd be right at the top

Better than Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad for sure but Wonder Woman was significantly better than this. I’d even put Man of Steel above it, at least that movie tried something different.

 

[SchoolboyC]

Spoiler

Ya I mainly just watched the cartoons but from everything I could remember I was like weren't the Skrulls supposed to be the bad guys? I had to do one of these

and kept waiting for the swerve where they were still the bad guys. At least it wasn't predictable in that regard.

Also that mid credit scene I thought we'd see her getting that page on some weird planet or something and she'd come flying home. But she's already here I agree though i really hope she gets worked by Thanos....can't have her flying in there to save the day. Hoping Lt Trouble and Rambeau makes an appearance in Endgame

Also that Stan Lee intro had a nikka to begin the movie.

Spoiler

Well considering this movie took place in the 90s, Monica should be an adult in the Endgame timeline assuming she didn't get wiped out. An appearance wouldn't shock me if she was in it but they probably wait for the sequel to this.

‘Captain Marvel’ Flying to $150 Million-Plus Opening in North America

The Disney-Marvel tentpole, which expands to 4,310 sites on Friday, has been expected to take in at least $125 million this weekend, with some forecasts in the $150 million range. “Captain Marvel” — the 21st title in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the first to center on a female superhero — should post the best start for a standalone superhero film since Marvel’s “Black Panther” launched with $202 million in 2018.

“Captain Marvel” has already taken in $78 million in its first two days from 25 international markets, including $34 million on its opening day in China.

Larson stars as Carol Danvers, the pilot who becomes the vastly powerful Captain Marvel after the Earth is caught at the center of a galactic conflict in 1995. The cast includes Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn, Djimon Hounsou, Lee Pace, Lashana Lynch, Gemma Chan, Annette Bening, Clark Gregg, and Jude Law. The movie is written and directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck.

Universal’s third weekend of “How to Train Your Dragon: Hidden Kingdom” will finish second with about $17 million, lifting its 17-day domestic total to about $122 million. Lionsgate’s second weekend of “Tyler Perry’s A Madea Family Funeral” will follow in third with about $9 million.

“Captain Marvel” appears likely to pull in more than the entire take of the same weekend last year, which totaled about $140 million.

‘Captain Marvel’ Tramples Internet Trolls & Skyrockets To $160M Opening

Don’t believe the trolls on Rotten Tomatoes’ audience score, or the zany small white dude contingency misconstruing Brie Larson’s call for diversity in film critics: There is absolutely no question, Disney’s Captain Marvel is a huge hit with a $62M Friday (including Thursday $20.7M previews) and a $160M opening weekend, currently the third best for the month of March after Beauty and the Beast ($174.7M) and Batman v. Superman ($166M). No. 1 hit films at the box office are like political candidates: People show their favoritism by voting with their wallets and the overindexing of Captain Marvel in its projections over the last month underscore its enormous want-to-see, going from $100M to $120M to $140M and now this. A ‘busting-the-dam’ halo is in effect in the marketplace: Moviegoers have been starving for a four-quad after a string of largely lackluster choices, and that pent-up demand is translating itself into hard cash for Captain Marvel. ComScore/Screen Engine’s PostTrak shows that 23% of the audience bought their tickets more than a week ago, while Captain Marvel is drawing 55% in walk-up business. More than half of all movegoers came to Captain Marvel because it’s part of a franchise they love.

I would like to know why she doesn't age from this film to Endgame which is 20+ years later.

Also how she got her power's was kind of stupid if you think about it, also her power's don't seem like they are that powerful to stop Thanos.

After thinking about it my rating is now 5/10, how Fury lost his eye is starting to bug the hell out of me.

Better than Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad for sure but Wonder Woman was significantly better than this. I’d even put Man of Steel above it, at least that movie tried something different.

Nah, better than all those movies. By decent margins too. Wonder Woman was alright because DC finally woke up and tried to follow the MCU formula. If that was an MCU movie, it'd be one of the lower tier ones

This man is so aggy.

All over this thread despite not liking the movie or the MCU. Most normal people don't obsess over movies they don't like.
