This is now our longest Box Office thread since BvS's first weekend. It's also the fifth biggest thread in the 10 years that xaosslug has been making them.
I really liked homecoming and I'll watch it again because Spider-Man is my favorite marvel character... but I didn't come out of the theatre going "woaaaaaahhhhhh that was godlike" like I did for Spidey 1 and 2. Or, more recently, Logan and Wonder Woman.

I watched Age of Extinction again today, why does the movie make less since the more times i see it?
I just question why you would watch it again. I haven't convinced myself (or had enough booze) to watch it a single time, and I love me some Grimlock. But mainly 80s Marvel comic Grimlock.
We need Raimi back doing superhero movies. Here's hoping he gets Flash and DC is smart enough to just let him do what he wants.The build up to the "He's back!" moment in Spidey 2 still gets me more hype than anything else in any comic book movie. That build up, then culminating in the clock tower/train fight is so damn good.
We had over an hour of Peter being shit on in every direction, both personally and professionally (both masked and unmasked jobs), then he finally just snaps back into hero mode. The music building, JJJ losing it, then culminating in this shot as the theme flares.
That moment, like many of the best moments in the Raimi films, are cheesy, but obviously loving homages to old school super hero comics and adaptations of them.
Ugh. I think I will be watching Spider-Man 2 tomorrow.
The first two Raimi films are just love letters to the silver age Spider-Man stuff. Homecoming is modern age Spidey/Ultimate brought to wonderful life.
Personally, I think it's because it's a nice steady line of good. So while there's no No Man's Land scene that's above and beyond, it also doesn't stumble towards the end.
Reminds me of The Force Awakens in that regard.
I dunno, Scott Derickson's approach to Doctor Strange was anything special for the most part.Marvel hiring horror directors continues to pay off.
It was on and i was walking through the room
I watched Age of Extinction again today, why does the movie make less sense the more times i see it?
The Last Knight makes even less sense than that.
I've never watched any of the Transformers movies, but people shitting on them so much (specially this last one) makes me morbidly curious about them.
They can't be that bad.
How is that possible?
They are at least not Batman v Superman bad. More like slow motion train wrecks you can't look away from but you know you should.
It's pretty incredible. The Last Knight has like 5 plotlines going on at once, none of which make any fuckin sense.
They're worse, easily. Age of Extinction is the most painful 3 hour theater experience I've ever had.
I mean, the first one is surprisingly okay. Two is a straight up dumpster fire though, and yeah, it is that bad. All I remember is straight up racist robots and a gag about one giant-ass one having wrecking balls for testicles. Checked out of the series after that. Did catch a little of 3 on cable and it was pretty shit though.I've never watched any of the Transformers movies, but people shitting on them so much (specially this last one) makes me morbidly curious about them.

That makes me want to finally try Age of Extinction, oddly. Just to see if it is truly that awful.They're worse, easily. Age of Extinction is the most painful 3 hour theater experience I've ever had. That movie felt like 6 hours.

But your description sounds like how BvS made me feel. I would rather watch Revenge of the Fallen again before BvS again.
Shit, I said it when BvS came out, but I would rather watch a 24 hour marathon of Green Lantern and X-Men Origins: Wolverine on loop than see BvS again.
The scene of Bumblebee transforming around Shia in the third one was pretty cool in theaters at least. I haven't seen it since opening day, but might punish myself again soon.
2 words make me want to see it "Nitro Zeus"

The ONLY good thing that can be said about The Last Knight is that at least it didn't have a creepy Irish dude trying to justify statutory rape with a lamented card he kept in his wallet.
And I would still watch it over BvS every time.
BvS is way better than The Last Knight.
The Last Knight made me give up hope for Bayformers, and that in itself is an achievement.
Automatically makes SM1 the best.But Spider-Man homecoming didn't have bonesaw

Lmao dude no
BvS has severe issues with character motivations, pacing, lack of action, and so on, but I ask you to name a single thing about it as bad as Bumblebee peeing on John Turturro, the racists bots, Devastater's testicles, Sam's Family, Shia's screaming in TF3, Ken Jeong, or statutory rape jokes.
You can't.

- A Justice League movie with 7 characters of which only 2 have had their own origin movies. Yes, introducing fucking Flash in a group movie.
I know, right?
I mean AOU really needed Quicksilver and Scarlet Widow to have their own origin films first. I for one spent the whole film complaining about how confusing it was that these characters were summed up simply and not given pondering two hour solo films.
