But that was just fine. He's a good Kirk. Too bad Jar Jar Abrams didn't give him better material to work with. |

He's not a bad actor, you're right. It's just for like 90% of his roles he just has to play Chris Pine ship captain Chris Pine boyfriend Chris Pine international spy Chris Pine blue collar guy Chris Pine... I still say Ben Foster is way way better an actor, but Pine is generally good, and has appeal. |

So, Wonder Woman had the lowest weekend drop-off of any superhero film in history. Down 45% for a $57.2 million take.

The 'busted' look when she realizes that the interviewer probably noticed it was pretty funny as well. I'm not exactly a body language pro but if that's not a straight up eye bang, then such an animal does not exist. |

Yeah, I have about as much interest in watching another CGI shitfest mummy movie and I do in seeing that Matt Damon Great Wall movie - zero.

I wouldn't sell it short. Movies fall off the radar with no competition on a weekly basis. This one stuck close to 60 million in week 2. Some predictions didn't have it opening that high. It's a legitimate hit.

I'm not, I just think it's contributory. I don't mean that it's box office success isn't warranted, just that the summer flix right now is rather paltry.

I finally saw it.
It was damned solid. And Gadot is a ****ing dime piece. Good Lord she's gorgeous They did a good job with making her look and move like a fighter. The action was really well done, IMO. There were a couple wonky moves but nothing to take me out of it. Nothing would wreck this shit faster than to ham up the hand to hand stuff. The story was well written also and her character arc and the end message were top shelf. Hats off. Pine killed it. Especially when he was trying to explain how this is still shitty after she killed what she thought was Aries. Well done. The final battle of God vs God was meh. It's getting difficult to do that well. It's just been done too much and too hard to ground it back in reality. It's totally necessary, but still didn't add much. Go see it if you haven't. |
