Yes.You really think marvel gives two shits what DC are doing in their "universe"?

Yeah no. MCU has made about 5x as much money as DC (their movie universe) whilst actually making good films along the the way. They don't do that by concerning themselves with what DC are doing. It's very much the other way around.Yes.
Yeah, no. That's just not how companies operate. Companies stay at the forefront even when they're market leaders by taking great note of what their competitors are doing.Yeah no.

The problem with your argument is that the MCU laid the seeds for this with Endgame in 2019 - and then fully leaned in with Loki last year. Hard to say it's reactionary on that basis, especially when the multiverse was introduced in Marvel comics in the 70s.Yeah, no. That's just not how companies operate.

There's a difference between being concerned and taking note. I very much doubt Disney/marvel looked at DCs upcoming flash movie and thought, we need to rush this out before them.Yeah, no.

Feige pushed civil war in part to match Batman v Superman. Its been reported that he does keep an eye on them to try and make sure they getYou really think marvel gives two shits what DC are doing in their "universe"?
Civil War was in part a response to Batman v Superman, there were numerous reports saying he wanted to get it out before BvS. Its not a coincidence that both DC and Marvel did hero v hero in the same year and are both doing multiverse plots. The flashpoint movie was talked about for ages before they started filming. It is smart from Feige to try and bring comic ideas to market first. Both DC and Marvel have a lot of crossover in terms of storylines and heroes so it would also make business for Marvel to try to pip DC to the post on key storylines.Yeah no.

Yet to be seen, the thinking seems to be thatThe whole casting the spell at both the start and the end don't hold up to much scrutiny if you actually think about it logically. There is zero reason Strange would be casting that spell to start it all off
I'm here for the amazingly in depth reviewsShit movie, people who loved it should be embarrassed.
It's definitely the weakest Spider-man film in a while, and the influence of the studio-heads at Sony is more evident than ever. I'd like to think that if it were solely Marvel Studios in charge, they'd have gone for a simpler and more self-contained story. I don't really want to see anything that attempts to fix the damage of previous shite films by legitimatising them through the lens of the MCU.I don't get into all the Marvel Vs DC bickering but the thing is, if DC released a film of equal calibre to this, it'd be slated I reckon.
It was so all over the place. I mean who even won in the end?
I watched it at the cinema with the kids then watched it at home the other day. I think my original viewing was elevated by the fact I was back in the cinema for the first time in 2 years.Wasn't this thread mostly universal praise for the first several pages? Is it the home-watching crowd catching up?
Depth and Spider-Man*, that doesn't sound right.I'm here for the amazingly in depth reviews
Football talk in the general forum? This thread’s gonna be canned as well now!Maguire looked like your alcoholic uncle
The GoodI mean who even won in the end?
That is how he looks every gameday.Maguire looked like your alcoholic uncle
Marvel branding gets just about everything at that level, especially a beloved character like Spider-Man. Let’s be real though, this thing didn’t manage to so much as lay a glove on Into the Spiderverse.How the feck is this garbage pulling an 8.6 on IMDb and in the 90s % on RT. I could barely get myself to finish it, had to watch it over 2 days cause something more interesting came along.
The best part of this move was way after the credits rolled and we got a glimpse of a Dr Strange tease, that was the best part hands down.
Sheesh, 8.6...from over half a mill reviews, still can't believe it.
Take it that's aimed at me? I don't think Marvel are faultless and everything they touch turns to gold, but I also have seen much of Sony's output over the last 10 years, and it's been largely abject dross. Their Amazing Spider-man movies, the Venom movies, Men in Black International, Holmes and Watson, shitty remakes/reboots of Ghostbusters, Charlie's Angels, Robocop and Total Recall etc.Love some of the Marvel fanboys comments in here. The movie was shit because of Sony - it's not Marvel's fault
Kids. I don't blame them since if they're anything like mine they'll think that Marvel invented cinema and their benchmark for an average film is that second Thor movie. One of them asked me why I was playing a game rip-off of the Thor movies the other week; it was God of fecking War ffs.How the feck is this garbage pulling an 8.6 on IMDb

It's never been anywhere near that, especially for big new releases. Look at how skewed towards recent films the top 250 is, for example.Damn.
IMDb is almost always been a reliable rating service for me, but when I saw that shite I couldn't believe it.
But if you look at RT even the critics have it highly rated, but then again, critics have been so far from audiences in recent years, I don't blame them.
Yeah I meant for me personally. I always watch movies above 6.5 only and series above 7.5 and it's treated me okay. But I still watch most of the blockbusters, this is the messed up I've seen it in a long while.It's never been anywhere near that, especially for big new releases. Look at how skewed towards recent films the top 250 is, for example.
Yeah, absolutely crazy. Finally watched it over the weekend and i was expecting much more - especially based on the reviews on those sites and even on the first few pages of this thread.How the feck is this garbage pulling an 8.6 on IMDb and in the 90s % on RT.

Marvel ruined IMDB too.It's never been anywhere near that, especially for big new releases. Look at how skewed towards recent films the top 250 is, for example.
I do feel like it all peaked with the final Avengers stuff, and some of the Marvel 'next wave' films just doesn't look interesting, but I enjoyed this film.Thought this would be fun but didn't enjoy it. Maybe the superhero era is starting to wear thin.
