  1. Finished it last night. And I had a good time. It picks up right after the events Child of Fire. And uses the first half as a deeper dive into the main characters. But once it gets going with the action, that second half is non-stop battling to the end. The visuals and soundtrack complemented the story throughout. And the stakes are relevant, as close to anyone could be taken out during battle. If folks dislike or even hate it, that's a personal preference. It was good for me. But sport-hating a director's work is a troubling mindset. Those falling back on that outlook have their own personal problems to deal with. Hope it gets a Chapter 3 since it ends with a lead-in to the next stage of the adventure.
  2. What a short memory. As we have had this discussion before. But oh well... FORBES: Disney Reveals Financial Muscle Of 'Avengers: Infinity War' Because these labor budgets are reported on via the UK labor regulatory requirements, it is clear GotG Vol. 1 actually cost $275.6M before any tax incentive discounts. Leading to Disney's CEO having to note during an investors' call there was a much higher production budget that exceeded the studios' original planned $170M. And with some additional reductions it got it down to that later reported number. FORBES: Disney Reveals Guardians Of The Galaxy Was Over Budget At $232 Million
  3. Not to worry. Someone on here will proclaim none of that is factual - that local tax breaks were $500M to counter any production and marketing expenses - and that it is only other studios that spend more. Not Disney. This is more than once Disney has been caught at manipulating the production budget news working through industry reporting sites. Remember GotG Vol. 1's news ($232.3M instead of $170M).
  4. The Rotten Tomatoes audience reviews are interesting. And the variance quite wide between individuals. So someone realized within 5 minutes of watching the second film it was unwatchable. So 1:5 stars - naturally this must be factual. And they HATED it.
  5. Fallout Has Been Renewed For Second Season On Prime It was officially confirmed by Amazon. Where before now it was reporters digging into records to determine any hints of a renewal.
  6. Since it is clear Paramount Pictures wants someone to purchase them.
