[@rurutuM]

I think Doctor Strange can do $80 mill opening weekend cause many people will likely see it in IMax and 3d. this is one of the few movies that is worth it.

[@rurutuM]

craig harris projected $55-75 mill. i'm saying the positive reviews and lack of competition can push it to $80

[@rurutuM]

craig harris it will likely to cross $100 mill foreign before it opens here in the US

[@robertreitermanjr2973]

It's very possible, some of the movies we have had this year have surprised me on the box office. I would have given it more like Ant-man numbers(66-70 mil) because of the lack of info the audience has on the character, but I wouldn't be surprised on your number. If it does, I think you are right on the IMAX and 3d, that may put it in that ballpark, I know I will be seeing it in IMAX.

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

That's what I'll be doing at my local (multiplex) IMAX.

[@delvagus]

Music yes, yes it is.

[@prufrockj.a8532]

To all those people who say that Disney is 'cheating' with it's limited release strategy, does that mean that almost every oscar-bait picture is doing the same thing? Are they all cheaters? Must be, must be. Basically it comes down to this: Disney/Marvel are veterans and know how to play the game in their favour. They know what their audience wants and they make enough changes to keep it interesting and fresh without going totally bonkers the off the rails. That's a merit and not something to shrug off. Essentailly the marvel movies are like the Disney Princess cartoons: there are similar tropes but the window dressing (in terms of visuals) and characters are just different enough to pass as unique. That way you are building a cohesive universe with brand recognition while also getting the benefit of claiming that every movie is at least a little different from the rest. Disney/Marvel knows exactly what its audience wants and therefore knows that whatever they do now, they'll still get a BO out of it. Warner Bros/DC are not as good at this game: they still don't know what their properties ought to be because the DCEU has only had 3 major releases and all three have met with mixed reviews. An Iron Man solo movie was able to bring in more than a movie starring both Batman and Superman and that is rather telling. Marvel gets the credit it gets now because it built up its universe piece by piece instead of hurtling us into the middle of it like DC. Marvel has a vision, DC has a basic idea of what it wants to be but not much else. It's why DC movies are sailing in comparison.

[@moistgiraffes7302]

JellyLovesFaith it's kinda early to judge what DC is doing.. they just started really making movies

[@braeden5875]

"An iron man solo movie was able to bring in more than a movie starring both batman and superman" BvS-$872 million Iron Man-$585 million Your math is off to say the least

[@prufrockj.a8532]

Braeden Dejong Iron Man 3 : $1.215 billion. I think my maths is perfectly fine.

[@prufrockj.a8532]

***** Oh fascinating, do you consider BvS to be MOS2? It felt more like a Batman movie with Superman sprinkled here and there. Batman certainly got the more interesting story line and the general love from the fans, but I digress). Yes Iron Man had to work its way to get there mainly because most of the general audience didn't know who he was. People knew about Superman and Batman because there were tons of movies about them and people generally liked those. There was more awareness regarding the character which makes people more interested in the project. It's why Marvel had to fight uphill battles with unknown heroes like Ant-Man, GOG and even Doctor Strange. You may think my reasoning is dodgy but people knew who Superman was, which helped MOS get to that amount at the BO. Think about it: would Jurassic World or Force Awakens have made that much money if it didn't have anything to do with Jurassic Park or Star Wars? True, both were very good movies on their own but the fact that they were of the same universe as the previous movies helped them a lot in the BO. And really, even if you aren't agreeing with me, there's still The Dark Knight Trilogy to consider. BB: $374.2 million Literally the next movie DK : $1.005 billion So really MOS2 as you call it couldn't even live up to the the same studio's previous outing with a CBM. Forget Marvel, DC couldn't even beat previous DC records. And that one only had Batman in it - there wasn't even a Superman or a Wonder Woman. BvS had all 3 of them and *still* failed to reach a billion. Those 3 are the most famous heroes in the Justice League and they are the ones that almost all of the general public know or have heard of. That fact that a movie with all three couldn't break the billion dollar threshold when a film with only Iron Man and a film with only Batman managed to is pretty disappointing. And lets be realistic, do you think the DC executives expected BvS to be lower than a billion? I mean it only managed to beat GOTG by $98.7 million.

[@321avatar1]

Well most people in the world have heard about batman and superman compared to iron man

[@theavatar9680]

I still think the strategy only works when you have a good film... Like Batman v Superman had like a 35% on Rotten Tomatoes with its first 30 reviews, while Doctor Strange has a 97% with its first 30 reviews.

[@sakuragi1062]

You should change your name to RT fanboy!

[@Hypnotico89]

The whole problem is how the score works in the first place

[@sarasasasa1894]

Hypnotico89

[@dylang2255]

Hypnotico89 Nope, you just have to understand how RT works.

[@dylang2255]

Phil K You must have missed what I was replying to. I was telling that other guy he should understand how the website RT works with its scoring. It has nothing to do with BvS (which I agree is shit). I agree with the original comment, this only works if the movie is at least decent. WB did this tactic of early reviews with Nolan films because they had confidence. With BvS WB didn't and lifted the embargo as late as possible.

[@Hypnotico89]

Yeah Disney is cheating with the limited access reviews. If there is anything I learned this year is Rotten Tomatoes scores mean nothing and is a broken system

[@jesusburgos1881]

Elijus Carter oh god you made me laugh

[@zrj-ro6304]

I'm starting a petition where Rotten Tomatoes HAS to go include mixed reviews when aggregating reviews.

[@sakuragi1062]

+The Avatar So your genius now???

[@Hypnotico89]

The Avatar it's broken because the percentage score does not reflect how critics really feel about a movie. For example a movie that gets all reviews as slightly favorable where they are certified fresh will get 100% on RT. Doesn't mean it's an A movie. They could have all agreed it was a C+ movie, but it gets 100% because of how the system calculates the score. But a polarizing movie where half the critics gave really favorable reviews and the other half really non favorable reviews could get a 50% on RT even though many of the reviewers thought it deserves an A. Especially when you have these limited access garbage where "select critics" have access to a movie and they all write favorable reviews that can influence the judgments of reviewers watching the film later. They should not release the score until all the reviewers have seen it and then give a final score and after a certain date even so that even if more critics review it, the score cannot be affected. This may or may not be feasible but regardless the current system is broken and can be manipulated by shady corporations like Disney

[@ihateu890]

Disney is not the first studio to do this, WB has done this before too. Doesn't anyone remember the reviews for The Dark Knight and Dark Knight Rises? Only a certain amount of critics saw it in advance and only then did they release the embargo and let everyone else review it. Studios have been doing this for years, you idiots are only complaining about it now because everyone is so butthurt over the scores for BvS and Suicide Squad.

[@davidgomez9014]

The only thing that scares me is film critics are going to look down at every other comic book movie that doesn't have Disney Marvel formula. Those movies have such kiddie vibe to them.

[@nick23rawblu]

That's exactly why I say Marvel kind of ruined it for everybody.

[@ikahccbr]

when did that ever happen? x men:dofp got a rating of 91% for example. and for the love of god, dont bring up DCEU. those movies are shit. and i am not saying because they were dark. i am talking about ridiculous plots and story threads, lack of visual storytelling, bad editing, uninteresting characters and so on.

[@GoggleMan25]

like the dark knight trilogy? which is considered by probably most critics to be the best CBM trilogy? or X-Men First Class, and Days of Future Past both met with high praise and have a more serious tone to them than many MCU films? you guys have such stupid theories

[@ikahccbr]

GoggleMan25 to be fair, the dark knight trilogy was at its peak when MCU was in its infancy.

[@GoggleMan25]

i know, but it still got high praise, and those films are still beloved despite the rise of the MCU i feel youd be hard pressed to find people who would leave TDK out of their top 5 CBM list. To say critics only want one type of superhero movie is ridiculous

[@TwigAndRockCereal]

Are some critics scared to bag a movie for fear of getting offside with the studios? (and missing out on all the junkets, press screenings and bonuses which go along with it)

[@limpinz]

nope

[@ronnyhasebola9550]

Mike Duncan more like if you dont bribe them they will put you through shit.

[@Seylem]

Well Disney is a lot bigger (Also includes Star Wars etc.)

[@DJG333]

You act as if they are praising the film. Read the reviews individually and see their actual rating, it's a lot more fair and accurate than that broken systematic RT score.

[@TwigAndRockCereal]

I wasn't even really talking about this film. I was asking Grace a general question about critics.

[@thanasisv190]

Why the fuck do people not know how rotten tomatoes works. The average score is a 7.2 and that's what i'd give it too. It looks absolutely beautiful but is extremely generic and has a weak villain.

[@AmiAki]

Bruce Wayne People do know how it works, ur just not reading the comments. Im sure even Grace knows.

[@thanasisv190]

***** No people tend to just flaunt the rt score. While casually ignoring the actual scores given.

[@thanasisv190]

Music It's not a bad movie. It's a very beautiful generic movie. I'm not going to ignore the good parts of a film because the villain was forgettable. A 7 out of 10 is an ok movie. When the hell did I say it's a bad movie, it's just not the most original piece of film.

[@thanasisv190]

Music Wait let me get this straight. You don't accept an opinion because it doesn't agree with you. It's not a perfect movie it's not a good movie. A 7 out of 10 is an ok movie.

[@meg-k-waldren]

Bruce Wayne The jokes, at least based on trailers, aren't funny... and the dialog too is cringey. Fingers crossed with Dr. Strange.

[@eminmedanhodzic4551]

You are legendary, one of the best, most consistent reviewers and movie connoisseurs of this age. I greatly appreciate your videos, they are fantastically good. Keep it up.

[@undeadsans9535]

God... I'm so pleased to have this KZbin channel as my number 1 first source outlet for anything movie related. You cover a wide array of demographics, and you genially don't seem to ever be biased in any of your reviews, or uploads. I thank you Grace, for you and your top notch A+ content. Keep up the great work, this channel will hit 1M views one day for sure.

[@elroyalepictures2610]

Dan B SAME!!

[@mjpinho3642]

+Music no one really cares what you and your fake accounts think tbh :/

[@jayanths1221]

RT is a fucking joke. The new Ghostbusters and Sharnado has a higher rating than freaking Interstellar!! The Accountant is one of the better films released this year and it has a score of 50%!! Critics these days only care if the movie is light hearted, fun and humorous but whenever a movie requires the audience to think, the critics totally shut down the movie and term it as "bland and boring"!

[@Hypnotico89]

Dexter Morgan because critics are idiotic snobs with clear biases to certain movie studios

[@andrewgiordano6880]

Dexter Morgan RT did nothing wrong. All they did was collect what the critics wrote

[@abe_froman8360]

Interstellar was a pretentious piece of feces trying to be another 2001.

[@jayanths1221]

antonzap Interstellar was nothing like 2001. Also mind you that 2001 was also termed "pretentious" and was panned by the critics when it first came out! Only as time went by and people started to understand Stanley Kubrick's vision did it start getting the recognition it deserved! Also Interstellar has a higher rating that 2001 on IMDB with twice the number of votes as 2001 so more people loved Interstellar than they did 2001!

[@SatyaDarshin]

Dexter Morgan interstellar was a LOT like 2001; I was more or less ticking off the nods as the film went along. That doesn't make interstellar a bad film because it explored very similar themes - I actually enjoyed it for that reason - but I don't think there's any merit denying that the parallels are there

[@1Vorname1Nachname1]

"Push it REAL good 🎵" Grace, I love you so much 😂😂😂

Currently RT is at 7.1/10. Metacritic is at 74/100. No conspiracy.

[@batboyshark]

And people say Rotten Tomatoes isn't rigged.

[@jesusburgos1881]

BatBoyShark it isn't

[@batboyshark]

The SupremePro123 Orly?

[@Dipper723]

Why would a Warner Bros. owned website be rigged to be in favor for Disney and against Warner Bros.? Also, the percentage number on Rotten Tomatoes is the number of critics who liked the movie, it's not a rating.

[@Dularr]

Of course it is rigged. Just look at their method of selecting and weighting critics.

[@thearrow4203]

Its not rigged but it dose need some fixing

[@michelangeloadamantiel2697]

Thank you for explaining the process. Well explained. And it's good to see you have a big heart for the smaller movies.

[@rurutuM]

Nov 5th SNL will be huge ratings cause many people will be watching before the election. Disney lucked out on that one

[@Duuke95]

Dc Fans saying Marvel is Cheating but the movie haven't even released in the u.s , so how would you know if the movie is bad or not , Stop the hate & worry about them struggling ass dc movies

[@moistgiraffes7302]

Duke 95 why can't people like both lol... marvel is good so is DC and BTW dc just started really making movies so you can't really say they're struggling, look at suicide squad that movie made so much money

[@Miriam_J_]

Duke 95 I love both DC and Marvel but when a movie has 96% of RT of all things, questions start popping up

[@samkam1041]

+Mr Independent I'm a DC fan but rt does not give a overall score . if 100 out off 100 people give a movie a 6 out 10 ,the movie might be okay but get a 100% on rt

[@spicymeatball0688]

+Mr Independent The score can change. Once it gets into the US the score will drop

[@Miriam_J_]

Great Value Skyebright1 Sam Kam Thanks for explaining it to me

[@MariaVosa]

Amazing episode Grace! Glad you took the time to run through the RT story with us.

[@GaryTurbo]

I'm convinced Disney is paying critics

[@brooklyn2700]

lol, very funny how they always get good reviews

[@GaryTurbo]

Age Of Ultron gets a 80% and a speedster died from bullets in that movie

[@dylang2255]

Gary Turbo Whatever your nerdy little behind wants to believe. I have a good feeling you're a DC fanboy, tell me you're not.

[@58kenstyle]

Hey Grace🤓🤓, I loooved the discussion on the release strategy of Doctor Strange I would love an in depth discussion on the best/worse release strategies of the year so far for CBM. I thought that BvS and Civil War release strategy were a bit lackluster for the former and too bland for the latter. On the other hand Suicide Squad release strategy was nearly perfect. Thanks and keep up the good work

[@beeterthanu]

Thats what happened to me grace! I was planning on seeing Jack Reacher but the bad reviews kept me from seeing it. Instead I saw Keeping Up With the Joneses and I agree completly with your review of it! Keep up the great videos!!

[@teddymark4324]

Scott Mendelson even looks like Loki, which leads me to believe he's tricking us. CONSPIRACY!

[@Ebun321]

How is this not cheating

[@ihateu890]

Because studios have been doing this for years. This isn't some new concept, even WB themselves did this when The Dark Knight and Dark Knight Rises came out.

[@AdelaideBen1]

Grace - thanks for a great analytic discussion... I love that you treat your viewers as adults rather than just TALKING VERY LOUD as some of your fellow KZbin movies reviewers do. Keep up the good work.

[@dillingerspaceman5513]

i was excited to see Dr Strange just for Mikkelsen but now everyone is saying that it's another dissapointing villain so i'm not gonna see the movie

Hey Grace, how did you become a movie critic? I'm curious how you started out and how you got to the point that they gave you early access to movies.

[@martinandersson6929]

Great episode!!

[@ibgorson]

I love all this complaining about how unfair RT is. Just wait until Wonder Woman or Justice League gets a high score and the these same people will point at RT tell you how right they are. Whining DC fans are the Trump supporters of the comic book community.

[@watchoasis3148]

Terry Roush true true

[@feroplayer2739]

Trump supporters?????? Said a mcu dipshit So it sounds like Doctor Strange uses visuals to tell its story. Can't wait for the 25% on RT OH WAIT, this isn't Snyder? 100% it is then. 😂😂😂 I’m sure I’ll enjoy Doctor Strange but picking apart these reviews are a form of entertainment in of itself. The bar has been set so low for Marvel films Doctor Strange Formulaic plus some cool visuals = 🍅 100%. The problem is that when it comes to Marvel Movies. People just look for the positives. But when it comes to DC Films. People look for more of negativity. You'll have big KZbinr's like Chris Stuckman pointing out how great Marvel Movies are. But they just overlook the negatives. Civil War had a shit ton of plot holes and the film had soo many problems but everyone looked at the Bright side. However with Dawn of Justice. Everyone looked at the Dark side of how disappointing the film was, overlooking the fact that it had great things in it. And it kicked the doors for the entire DC Universe. Something which took Marvel 5 years to do. But...Marvel anyways! It's like they aren't ready to critize a Marvel Movie brutally. They think that Marvel Movies are made by Immortals who can't just do any major mistake. While they're always ready to point out DC's mistakes. Still waiting for the break even articles on Doctor strange, isnt odd that there isnt a single one from any major outlet? with BVS and Suicide squad everyone was an accountant, scrutinising opening numbers yet with dr strange no mention anywhere. Its crazy.

Yup. Disney has figured out that the system and is manipulating it to a tee.

Question. Box Office Mono lists the budget for Deepwater Horizon as $110m but the movie cost over $150m before rebates. Do you consider that misleading? Austin Powers 2 cost $30m and covered 100% of it's budget in products tie ins, it would be misleading to list the budget as $0. Any thoughts?

[@wildevil]

I really dont get the RT scores. Dr. Strange was entertaining and visually unique with a couple of laughs, but the overall score is BEYOND ridiculous. I never once let critics dictate whats good or bad to watch, but the fact that a LOT of people are dependent on these reviews makes me feel like there's a great deal of shady false or exaggerated advertising going on. What's worse is Grace keeps bringing it up as if it's the word of GOD. I actually snoozed for a couple of scenes but that's due to some "strange" dialogue most people probably wont get or care or understand. The visuals are a pretty sight, and it's very much "Inception" on steroids, but the ooh's and aaahh's didnt last long. The last 20 minutes of the movie reminded me of the last 20 minutes of the Fantastic Four(Chris Evans version). Even the setting was similar if you compare the two side by side up to the main galactic bad guy. Another thing is I didn't care for any of the characters, even in death, which is ok since it's really not Marvel's strong suit. Which brings me back to HOW and WHY it got such high ratings. Almost like someone is helping it along the box office, which shouldn't be necessary cause it's a Marvel movie. Thumbs down for rotten tomatoes even existing, but Thumbs up to Doctor Strange for not looking like the typical Avenger movie. P.S. That end credit scene was CHEAP and uninspired.

[@James-qw3es]

you been bad mouthing this movie for weeks calling it a Nolan rip off so I don't know why u keep talking about, when all signs and early reviews all pointing to it being nothing like it, but u tend to rip movies prior to seeing them..so no big shock there.

[@JayeKelz]

I dont get how Doctor Strange has a perfect 100 rating on Rotten Tomatoes despite EVERYONE claiming that the story itself was weak....

[@garybennett431]

Hey Grace...are you going to review Moonlight?

Are you going to review Ouija? It was a really good horror movie that didn't rely on cheap jump scares. Long time fan, keep up the good work!!!

[@timjcervantes7281]

Grace I have a question, I know recently you have been talking about Netflix and all their content and them taking talent from Fox. With so much content how do shows become smash hits while others go unnoticed? I love Sense8 but tons of people have never even heard of it.

[@GoggleMan25]

because you obviously saw the movie

[@MarvellousMorbing]

Dirk Walker average marvel origin story again? No surprise there. I read their giving it a pass because the marvel formula is still working . There's a critic saying it navigates major plot holes with ludicrous dialogue but the actors are great in it ! " I"am like dafauq

[@sabinea.4532]

Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens: I'm sure we all can trust your unbiased summery of the reviews.

[@davesgoldenduck6066]

Grace do you go to film festivals?

[@rige229]

I'm seeing Doctor Strange tonight !

[@SarahHill36]

Grace also to note is Dr Strange is releasing in Australia over this weekend. While our market is small our word of mouth goes a long way towards boosting confidence in Asia as a meaningful amount of a population and residents are Asian.

[@gdon12987]

The movie is coming out this Thursday 27 Oct 2016 in Australia. I can't wait!

[@GeniusJedi]

imma be wearing a Batman shirt to Dr Strange

[@Nobody-br1rq]

RT isn't rigged it's critics RT just accumulates the score

[@kengorry6640]

mid-term break for schools next week in Europe, perfect time to open.

[@nn6404]

It continues to bother me that Marvel can put out mediocre movies and become a cultural phenomenon because of Hollywood politics.

[@louiebellina6127]

niac 1234 movies are from from mediocre, every movie they put out since 2014 was really good from Captain America: Winter Soldier, Guardians Of The Galaxy, Avengers: Age Of Ultron, Ant-Man, and Captain America: Civil War

[@trevinim.5689]

+louie bellina Most of those are mediocre the only one I'd say is way above mediocre is Winter soldier. Ant man is the most mediocre of them all while age of Ultron is bad.

[@RyanJones0]

Trevon The Arrow I think you're confusing the words good, mediocre and average. I don't think any marvel movie has been not good. Every film they've done has been extremely competent, well shot and have a coherent plot characters and performances. I could understand you saying none of them have been excellent so far that's a fair argument but to say that any of them are mediocre is a bit of a stretch.

[@starboyxo966]

Ryan Jones Winter soldier was great, ant man good, Aou mediocre, and civil war was good.

[@mjpinho3642]

why would that bother you? are you losing sleep over this? stressed about films that no one is making you watch? ask yourself those questions

[@RedNose321]

I never "use" RT critics score, the audience score is much more helpful and reflecting a more honest opinion. The sheer number of them gives a better "result"! Question Grace: Why do you prefer RT over IMDB? Or... could you "explain" the difference between them all and the relevance for the industry and the audience? And thank you for the great content every day!!! :)

[@OrphanHart]

Do ticket sellers make a note of each person's race? How do they determine the percentages?

[@quentinbell3035]

Will Moonlight ever be released nation wide? I really want to see it

[@voltinator]

Medea Boo looked so silly that it transcended demographics.

[@greattvshows452]

haha for once the UK is ahead of the game and not like 2 weeks to a month behind ! Some places even had early previews today !! Inferno also got an early release !! like last week I believe . . .

[@thedavid00100]

Critics are not biased, i think they genuinely love Marvel's formula.

[@weirdcritter]

If the movie wasn't good it would already have a poor Rotten Tomato rating. I saw it last night and loved it. An 8/10 from me. There's just one thing in it I think could have been done better. Very enjoyable and has two good credits tags :-)

[@sarasamaletdin4574]

But how can the studios control that the intitial Rotten Tomato numbers are good? Can they cherry pick the reviewers based on what they have said about Marvel films before? I know scores always drop a little the more reviews there is but it should not drop drastically.

[@CanadianDH]

Off topic, but your hair looks amazing today! 😲

[@fahdchoudry7763]

I like Cucumberbatch. He was good in Star Trek into Darkness, Sherlock Holmes, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and the Imitation Game.

[@cvzanikos1]

Yup. Disney has figured out that the system and is manipulating it to a tee. As long as they don't get creative or think out of the box, in other words make these films mediocre and they'll always score high. Playing it safe and not taking chances. They're like counting cards at the blackjack tables. Genius

[@waterpaper8372]

What? Disney takes many risks, many companies do. Disney and Pixar are always pushing the boundaries animation wise. Also Marvel had: Iron Man (huge risk), Thor, Captain America, Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, Ant-Man, and now yes Dr. Strange. For Iron man and Avengers, if it had done poorly, that would have been terrible for Disney (well actually Disney hadn't bought Marvel in Iron Man times). The movies I mentioned were risks because they were all unknown characters at the time. DC on the other hand is still doing their Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Joker movies after several decades of those characters. They stick to the icons because they know it will get cash. Are MCU movies following a similar plot? Yes, most movies do, it's called tropes. However where they lack in unique plot and villains, they make up in visual effects, fresh characters, and fluid tone.

[@Ellie_deMayo]

HELLASgate7 They made a movie where we sympathise a talking racoon and a tree that only says one line.... Marvel's as safe as a movie about a girl falling in love with her monster captor winning best picture. Or Shakespeare with Lions.

[@RihFlood212]

Going to see Doctor Strange tonight and I am SO. HYPED.

[@MidTownMike212]

I always thought it was a good date after seeing what it was going up against. I preordered my tickets and if I like it I am thinking of going to see it again in 3D. I felt it would be perfect in 3D but I decided against it until I see cheaper first.

[@wreckzc]

Hey Grace, what's your take on Scott Mendelson from Forbes giving a 5.5 of 10. do you feel this was a strategic score to click bait his review. If he gave a score of 6, he would have had a ripe Tomato, but a 5.5 is a rotten one. Not only he's scoring out of 10, he's narrowed it down to decimals. After reading his review, it sounds more like a C- than a D... would appreciate your thoughts

[@1Atlkid]

Thanks, Grace. It wasn't until now what the tomato meaning and description meant.

[@Turtle_dove_voltiare]

Thought you might like to know it also opens in Australia with a midnight screening tomorrow night.

[@davidguy209]

watched 'Doctor strange' last night - a midnight showing at the stroke of 25/10. really enjoyed it. very simple storyline - typical superhero stylee, but very watchable with a LOT of imagination and great performances. it's gonna be a big hit :-)

[@joshuaibrahim1]

its crazy if anyone uses rotten tomatoes score to go see a movie cuz critics will definitely be partial to those they familiar with
