  1. Warner has several franchises that could turn them very profitable, some great directing talent like Affleck and resources at the studio level to make their own productions without them being outsourced.

  2. So you thought Reva killing hundreds of people and then at the very end deciding to do the right thing and not kill an unconscious child was good?

  3. What you are saying in terms of a new merger is playing a part but it really comes down to the fact they are carrying about $14 billion of debt on a market cap of about $43 billion with revenues of about $13 billion per year. There is no space at this point for them making mistakes and their main franchises really need to be handled with care. They need to build out their Batman franchises and they also need to do a series of smaller $20 million movies that are character driven and based on good writing rather than over the top special effects budgets and 20 different reshoot cycles of new version edits. The idea that fans would show up to watch a DC movie based on the quality rather than some overarching Marvel storyline would be so much easier to achieve and capable of dealing with the odd mistake. One mistake in an overarching plot can bring the whole house down. They have thousands of characters and stories they can build all could be living on the DC logo and quality.

  4.  @hogghug  It will only be better if they have good management. Their problem to date is that they do not have creative management at the helm in their studios. Most of what is produce is really outsourced with them acting as a glorified distributor. If they can make a series of movies at the quality level of Dune but at a smaller scale they could become very popular and very profitable. Paramount has been very successful in the meantime and may soon be the market leader. Disney is in the middle of complete brand destruction.

  5. I have never heard of her.

  6. I think most people saying that it was strong and brave did not watch it.

  7. Your nothing is thinking too much on entertainment content that is braindead.
    2
  8. It is easily the best modern superhero movie.
    2
  9. Not just that we have to assume that due to the artificial DNA they are based on that they could have mutations and lots of strange outcomes.

  10. Spy kids made sense and children liked it.
    2
  11. At least with Batman Returns it did not have a bad overall movie approach. It made sense.

  12. How on earth did Reva know anything about Leia to be able to set a trap. If she knew that could she not know where Obi-Wan was?
    2
  13. That is the worst excuses I have ever heard to excuse the character of Reva. What is next claiming that Hannibal Lecter as a doctor just decided to eat human flesh because he was a doctor that seen too much. So what is your view on rapists?

  14. While it was underused he was good when he had screen time and was not a terrible bad guy and would have been better with more time.

  15. The only female action fight film that is anyway acceptable and believable is Haywire. I am sure there is something else I am not aware of out there.

  16. I did not think it was as bad is the review made it out to be but it most certain went nowhere and was like watching a left wing lesbian dance event.
    2
  17. It was still more fun that The Last Jedi.
    2
  18. How did Reva know about Leia from the beginning?
    2
  19. Remember when everybody used to think that Marvel was so smart. They really understood their customer and always did the right thing. It all seems like a distant dream.
    2
  20. It is far better than what Marvel produces now.
    2
  21. I suspect that Snyder really had no control of the movie. His name is just attached to the film.
    2
  22. Captain Marvel was a pouty face borefest.

  23. It is not certain that K died at the end. It looks like it but we are not sure.

  24.  @malloryg4251  Does feminism not support abortion?

  25. @Koby Lynn That's what feminism is about teaching young women that they can symbolically burn men and society. Sure they are strong, intelligent, independent young women are they not?
    1
  26.  @KiwiinSpace  The film shows that women can symbolically burn men out of their life and the baby in their wombs. It is all about liberating and empowerment of the chains that young, intelligent independent young women are held back by.

  27.  @thomaskilroy3199  You are only saying it is terrible because you hate women being free from the oppression of a unjust society. Feminists rejoice and burn it all.

  28.  @codybarlik4524  Do not put down feminism it is teaching young women that they can burn out the baby out of their womb. These chains have held back women for the last decade. Obama almost succeed in free society from the chains of capitalism.

  29.  @codybarlik4524  Male feminism is such a beautiful thing. Supporting those intelligent independent young women in their career choice to burn babies out of them is a noble and just thing.

  31. It is not just Marvel the whole film industry is on dangerous grounds. Just seen that terrible movie Free Guy started out well but got boring really fast. All most every film now at the cinema is about a big world ending event dressed in science fiction action.

  32. The Joker movie was terrible. It was really depressing and extremely dark and not entertaining at all. It was like watching an art house movie late in the night expecting it to be raunchy and it is not.

  33. Only simple people think it was a good movie.

  34. I see it completely differently. I see it as a prime 35 year old Batman rather than a 21 year old starting out.

  35. You may go and see it but the general audience will probably not. Marvel and Disney are in serious trouble and they may not even realize it yet.

  36. It cannot be compared to GoT. I would compare it to Lord of The Rings when it first hit the theatres. If that Dune move version was released in 2001 it would have done $800 million. Hopefully this film reaches about $400 million and they will do more of them.

  37. It was a dreadful movie at best. A disgusting end for such an iconic character.
    1
  38.  @mattmmilli8287  Unfortunately I had to sit through the movie for the full 2 hours of the movie. It was not a patch on The Wolverine.

  39. Same here was the best big budget movie I have seen in 5 years. Probably since Blade Runner 2049.

  40. The problem with alternative times lines is most film audience will not understand timelines and why should they as they are not going to be sitting around thinking about it.

  41. It was pure trash and anybody that thinks it is entertaining is talking crap.
    1
  42. It has an amazing cast.

  43. The film was far better than any other modern film out there.

  44. The idea of quotas started in Hollywood and thank goodness they are taking the concept to politics. That means no more worrying about politics women just get a free pass.

  45. Was Lee Harvey Oswald far right?
    1
  46. Or that she could sit back and watch the horrors of WW2 being played out, ethnic cleansing in Communist China that killed over 100 million people. What sort of a moral compass has she?

  47. I do not think it has anything to do with tax write off but that may be a story that gets circulated. Warner are now a new company with debt levels that are high and existing in a new expensive capital market were borrowing is about to get tight and expensive.

  48. Back Adam is OK by traditional sense of a movie. When compared to modern entertainment such as the latest Marvel movies or Star Wars it appear to be a very good movie that would score an 8 out 10.

  49. I am not convinced they are realizing anything to be honest.

  50. Logan was dreadful.
