Must See Movies

Supergirl always felt like a niche superhero. It never felt like she had a ton of mass appeal.

They could've put an attractive actress in that role and I still think it would've tanked because the character has never been that interesting.

Historically, superhero movies with the lead as a lady just don't do very well.

Wonder Woman worked because she's kind of iconic. She's mainstream.

Cat Woman? Nah.

Elektra? Nah

Supergirl? Nah

Captain Marvel was pretty good. I'll give them that one.

I'll give you Wonder Woman, for sure. Agreed on the middle 3, and I didn't really like Captain Marvel, tbh.
 
Breakdown (1997): formulaic Kurt Russell thriller. The wife was uber annoying.
 
I think movies as a whole are going to tank at the box offices. Just not affordable for an average family to go to the movies now. Much easier to pay that one time fee for whatever streaming site for the year and watch it a few months later.

I think the movie theaters will soon be a thing of the past. Between the crap being put on now, the Covid dagger, and the ease of getting it at home. I don't see them floating along for much longer. My prediction is in 10 years they will be a rarity.

I don't mind the cost at all. It's kind of an experience that I still enjoy to take the kids out, buy them a bunch of overpriced snacks and enjoy a movie.

The problem is there just aren't many enjoyable movies anymore. That's the real problem I think we deal with. All the hyped up movies are god awful for the most part. Original ideas seem so rare these days. And then Hollywood screws up half the movies with just ridiculous casting. The Odyssey just being a recent example of the nonsense Hollywood does to screw up a potentially entertaining movie.

And by the way, the rare, good original ideas, I never seem to find out about them until the movie is basically available on TV anyway.
