Jurassic World (SPOILERS!)

[Khev]

I'm an MCU super fan and i'm already getting burnt out.

I agree. I'm looking forward to Civil War and Infinity War but honestly after IW Part 2 I'd love it if the entire MCU went on hiatus for a good five years. We'll still have three huge "Phases" of films to watch at home and then can actually have a chance to get excited again when the heroes return.

I'm an MCU super fan and i'm already getting burnt out.

I'm kinda worried after my reaction to Age of Ultron. Boy was I underwhelmed by that film. Quite a step down from my reaction to the first Avengers film. I fear it represents a greater burn-out for the MCU overall.

We still have all of these to sit thru before 2020.

Ant-Man
FF4
Deadpool
BvS
Suicide Squad
Cap 3
Thor 3
Dr. Strange
GOTG 2
Black Panther
X-Men Apocalypse
Gambit
Captain Marvel
Inhumans
Wolverine 3
Spiderman
Justice League
Wonder Woman
Aquaman
Infinity War 1
Infinity War 2



I bet I forgot 1 or 2.

Yup, they can close the book on superhero movies after that, i'm good.

 

[Khev]

I wonder if some small part of JW's blistering box office is just overall hunger for a non-superhero blockbuster. Though that still doesn't explain why Fury Road had such meager earnings. It wasn't the trailers because FR had some of the best trailers of the last decade.

 

[jye4ever]

Don't think it was just one reason, I come up with these:

The R rating
I don't think as many regular (not us) people are into that series
Last movie was 30 years ago
Gibson's problems
Gibson hated
Gibson not in the movie (some hate, some want)

I think FR broke even to being slightly profitable.

All the geek websites the previous year were all saying that FR would be the breakout hit.

Critically they were right.

Yea you did! How could you forget spiderman .

Reboot burnout.

Fixed! Thank You

 

[Khev]

I think the new Spider-Man should star Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker, Emma Stone as Gwen Stacey and someone totally new as the Green Goblin. That'd really mess with people.

On statueforum.com Paul from Chronicle Collectibles announced plans for their JP/JW license:

It is exciting news indeed. I'm most excited for the T-Rex. I really hope it is a diorama piece that includes the fence, muddy ground, and even the Explorers. I'll still probably end up buying the Sideshow Dinosauria Tyrant King statue any way.

Went for my second Jurassic World viewing last night, this time in IMAX 3D. Even better the second time! So many nostalgic moments, even scenes that put water in my eyes. Best movie I've seen in a long time. Not sure what to say that hasn't been said already.

Before going to the movie I killed time in the mall the theater is housed in. While walking around I thought I could hear dinosaur sounds. It's a huge mall, so to pinpoint the sounds was difficult. But eventually I walked down one wing and found the source of the sounds!



I also took a video:


He's on display to promote a dinosaur exhibit at a science center in the same city.

Combine Aunt May and Uncle Ben.

I would've loaded that onto my pick up and told them I was taking it to the vet, he looks ill.

What's 21 Superhero movies in 5 years.

Well at least getting one SW movie a year will quickly allow the PT to just be a tiny footnote rather than being half the saga like it is now.

I whole heartedly agree on this point.

That is just madness. How can the excitement -- accomplished in The Avengers -- ever be recaptured when the energy is spread out over that volume of films?

Truth is you're lucky if you got 2 more good movies in that entire group. Sorry kids, that's the facts of life.

Agreed.

The only thing I don't like about JW is that it drowned out the rebel yell that was Fury Road. For all the reasons you mentioned, that movie proved to be a success despite its handicaps. But now, this summer, if it didn't make a half billon opening weekend, it no longer counts.

Hollywood's sights are not on half-billon openings. Nothing else will compare. Your movies will become even more homogenized now and... family friendly. Hope you like your Superheroes without an edge. Expect even more Ultrons turned into Pinocchios.

Not sure Zara agrees with you. After JW's opening WB didn't rush out and hire Joss Whedon to direct Meg....

 

[jye4ever]

Khev has a point Wor, JW might've just sent us on a path of dreadful deaths in cbm.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Zara's blip will not be what Hollywood remembers. In fact, all the talk is telling them that kill was over-drawn and excessive. Note to self: pull back on violence.

Don't understand the Whedon comment as he's persona non grata right now in town after his melt-down and complaints.

Colin is the new hero. Hollywood now looking for exciting first-timers, not well known television hacks who become overwhelmed with notes.

 

[jye4ever]

Colin turned down Jurassic World 2, I wonder now after the box office how much money will change his mind.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Colin turned down Jurassic World 2, I wonder now after the box office how much money will change his mind.

He's got two movies already booked. Likely swamped with offers. Maybe even Star Wars 8 or 9. But who knows, a year from now he may change his mind. Or the performance of his work will be better understood. He did a great job but I don't think he's the next 'Spielberg'. I wonder where that guy is though...?
