I think it’s very, very likely. Reason being, Thor earned just $449 million in 2011. It’s sequel, Thor: The Dark World, earned almost $645 million in 2013. Notice the upward trajectory? And do you know what those prior movies didn’t have? A Hulk! So, while Thor: Ragnarok has yet to released in North America it’s already […]
I have no idea why they’re calling the new trailer for Thor: Ragnarok a ‘teaser’ because it definitely has all the goods. Ironically, what makes it such a joy to watch was that the prior movie in the series, Thor: The Dark World–while by no means terrible–was a bit underwhelming. Director Taika Waititi looks like he’s hit […]
While Marvel Studios has probably one of the most enviable hit-to-miss ratios in Hollywood–14 and 0, including the upcoming Doctor Strange–that’s not to imply that some of their features weren’t weaker than others. The first movie based on Thor–patterned loosely on a character from Norse mythology–was surprisingly effective, taking a fairly outlandish character and imbuing […]
Have you ever seen a movie, like “Prometheus,” for instance, in which you were blown away when you first saw it in the theaters, only to see it again and wonder what the whole point was? In this edition of ‘Postmortem’ I take another look at “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” a movie that I […]
Have you ever dealt with someone who was so set in their ways that they ignored any common sense response to their predicament? That’s what i feel about what’s going on with Warner Bros. scheduling their upcoming “Superman Vs. Batman” against the currently untitled Captain America 3. Disney had originally had that space staked out […]
This post is entirely speculation, though it is based upon logic as well as current news. Notice that in the title of this article I sad “could” as opposed to “would” because the last I heard was that Del Toro was busy working on Legendary Pictures’ upcoming fright-feature “Crimson Peak,” as well as executive producing […]
I know, trailers always look good, after all, they’re showing the best of the movie. That being said, the new trailer for “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” sets all sort of standards for awesomeness. From what I can see there appears to be a traitor (or perhaps signs of a power struggle) within S.H.I.E.L.D. I […]
Marvel Studios is on a roll. Earlier this year “Iron Man 3” earned $1.2 billion worldwide, while the year before that “The Avengers” earned over $1.5 billion. Even with characters that aren’t necessarily as popular, like Thor and Captain America, Marvel is making a mint. In fact, they are so confident about their prospects that […]
Remember when Marvel’s ‘Phase 2’ slate of films were announced? They consisted of: “Ant-Man,” “Thor 2: The Dark World,” “Iron Man 3,” Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” “Guardians Of The Galaxy,” and it goes without saying, Avengers 2. Notice who’s not on the list: Dr. Strange, which is odd considering that Kevin Feige, the head […]
