DarkKnight's Replies


I gave it an 7.5-8/10. Definitely overrated for sure. As far as entertainment/fun factor goes it's easily a 10/10. However, the plot was a bit messy at times for sure. Not to mention the various plot holes and continuity issues as well. If it wasn't for these things it would've easily been the best MCU film to date. Imo it's not even the best Spiderman film. Even Spiderman 2 was better, and that only has a 7.4 Big plothole definitely. Also, how did Sandman or the newspapers know he was killed by his own glider? There's no way they could have possibly known this information. I enjoyed the movie myself, but it was full of continuity errors and plotholes, which prevented from being the perfect comic-book film for me. No. He's actually 46 in the movie. Dr Ock even says "you're all grown up Peter" in the final battle. There didn't appear to be any de-aging either. The Dark Knight followed by Avengers Endgame which both have a 94%. 47 reviews now. Still at 100%. Dang this might be the best reviewed superhero film ever. 100% on RT right now with 25 reviews as of now. Don't forget interest in loans for production budgets. Lot's of studios take out loans to finance big- budget productions like NTTD. I'm sure they're paying out the ass for that $250 million production budget. No way a small studio like MGM financed all that themselves. I doubt it really matters. Amazon owns the Bond franchise now. It's not like one flop is going to seriously hurt them. Also, no movies are going to make $900 million anytime soon. They probably figured it's best to get this out now as it's been delayed almost 2 years. Further delays at this point are overkill, and will add to even further costs. So we're getting beta Bond now? No thanks. Sounds like another franchise ruined by woke feminists. RIP Alex. You fought the good fight. 90 years old. He lived a great life. RIP Sean. You brought many great memories over the years. I think the movie theatres will get a bailout. The movie industry is a multi-billion dollar industry. How are they gonna sustain that without theatres to play movies in? Streaming alone cannot produce the revenue that theatrical releases do. We may never see billion dollar grossing flicks like Endgame or Star Wars ever again if theatres die out. Either that or big budget films will be phased out for smaller smaller budget films due to a decrease in overall revenue. We're living in uncertain times indeed. I hope we make it out OK. I think it has to do with the rise of technology. Nobody goes outside and does anything active anymore. It's either video games or "Netflix and chill" these days. It also doesn't help that there's a fast food joint on every street corner, and nobody cooks anything anymore. Somebody had to test the waters. Movie theatres need big budget films to bring people in, and studios need theatres to make series bank on big films. Small budget films just don't make as much money as big budget blockbusters. Just look at Unhinged and New Mutants box office compared to Tenet. Unfortunately, Tenet just wasn't the movie to bring people back to theatres in larger numbers. It's a very complex movie that's targeted to a certain audience. It's just not everyone's cup of tea. I think Wonder Woman 1984 would've been a better choice to bring audiences back. Tenet should've moved to next year. Yep. I'm ready. Just need to stock up on a year's worth of toilet paper and rice first. I've been to the theatre twice since they reopened. I saw Empire Strikes Back and Tenet in the same day. The theatre was dead. I was one of maybe 6 people in the whole theatre. I then saw Back to the Future a few days later and there was about 5 people there. I had a great time though. I'm was just glad to be able to see a film in a theatre again. I don't think so. The studios will probably think twice before putting out big budget $200 million dollar films though. I think the big budget releases will be delayed and low budget films will play in theatres for the rest of the year. There's just no way they can make their money back with closed cinemas and reduced seating capacity. Either that or they'll have to revaluate how much money they spend on films going forward in the future. $200 million dollar blockbusters may be a thing of the past before long. It's bad, but I find Rise of Skywalker to be much worse. All Rise of Skywalker tried to do was retcon The Last Jedi's failures. However, the stuff they replaced it with was no better. Like the ridiculous twist of Palpatine magically surviving his inceneration in ROTJ, then going on to conceieve a child with an unknown character never shown on screen. Even Rey being a nobody would've been a better twist than that. Anyways, the trilogy was screwed from the beginning. They never really had a solid plan or roadmap for what they wanted to do. Even Daisy Ridley said they had no plan and were just making it up as they went. Disney will probably dump Black Widow on Disney+ like with Mulan for a $30 rental.
