This has appeared on MT 16 days before release.

Seems pretty good.

With how similar the feel of the movie is, I would expect audiences would want something different, or something better.


How do you mean by similar feel? Its supposed to be funny superhero team-up action movie --
that's what sequel feels like in general with slightly different plot I assume.

Reviews are pouring in. 91% so far.

Youtube reviewers are actually mixed about it which is interesting... wonder if reception will be mixed.

Well the trailers never did anything for me. The trailer for the first one were fun and fresh, these all seem tryhard. I wouldn't be surprised if the movie is the same. Though Disney being comfortable with reviews being released this early means they are sure they have a crowdpleaser again.

Weird. It seems like every Marvel movie gets reviews that call it "filler" and "setup for future more interesting movies".

I don't think "every" Marvel movie gets that review.

Sorry, Iron Man 1 didn't.

You don't have to be sorry. It wasn't your comment :P

BTW Logan didn't and from what I remember Ant-Man also didn't to name a few.

Logan wouldn't be "Marvel" in this scenario.

You're mostly correct on Ant-Man... but only the parts of it that were not chopped to hell by the studio.

Why is Logan not Marvel? It is for all purposes and discussions we weren't discussing Disney/Marvel movies here.

It's not part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

But its a Marvel movie which you mentioned. Regardless I can provide more examples ;)

Also that this is first sequel from a supposed trilogy so those kind of reviews are expected IMO.

The first one did 11.2m in previews. Think this one will be around 17-18m.

I think the X-Men franchise stands apart as distinct from the MCU in terms of how critics approach/receive them.

Standard critical response to the MCU is what's been juxtaposed with other comic book properties like the DCU.

Its still Marvel and clearly the first statement said Marvel and not MCU. I was never talking about MCU but clearly zwackerm did. I just made a statement about Marvel get it MARVEL (MCU is not Marvel alone).

As for X-Men I do realize they are different from MCU in terms of tone, studio and critical response.

I am not so sure it will go that high. CA:CW did $25m and that had major buzz towards it. It will surely increase in previews but I am thinking more in terms of $13m-$14m.

It definitely needs to open big. I don't see legs being as good as the first.

Legs were never going to be as good as the first, but it does need a BIG opening to have a shot at $400M+. General audiences should like it more than critics, but frontloading is a factor, although the hype doesn't feel HUGE right now IMO.

Yeah I meant opening BIG and after watching it I am not so sure on $400m being a guarantee. The WoM should not be bad but its surely not going to be glowing as well.

Its tracking at $130m-$140m so I think it can out-muscle the tracking numbers and open past $150m mark, specially with Fate being a non-event and failing fast.

AMC presales update(Courtesy Rallax@BOT) shows Guardians 2 at 2.7m while Civil War was at 3.55m at a similar point. I dont see Guardians opening more than 140m. This is a highly marketed sequel after all.
