I'm surprised. I don't remember this happening with previous Marvel movies or even the new Star Wars ones. I mean they're all blurry cell phone clips but the movie hasn't even come out yet. Half of them are Ruffalo's from the premiere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, here in Serbia, the movie has been available for selected audience since 24th. Today, 25th and tomorrow, 26th, will be a lot of screenings and on 27th, it will be released fr everyone. I think that's why there's a lot of leakages. A lot of people has already seen the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarGalley Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 The initial reviews I've read seem in line with my expectations. Lots of destruction and doom, witty quips and an overall clunkiness to how the whole cast is tied together. Haven't read anything about how fleshed out Thanos is as a character (and if his motivation and philosophy come through well). I'm not willing to venture any deeper into any review to find out though. The biggest challenge for me will be trying to watch the movie without dealing with a massive crowd but also before some internet asshole spoils it for me.

Mladen Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Wow, we have been auspiciously quiet about this movie... No posting reviews, interviews, nothing... Have we decided to put a moratorium on IW discussions until 27th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 So things have been crazy hectic lately, and I haven't yet been able to see Black Panther. Without giving any spoilers, and considering that Infinity War comes out tomorrow and that I'll most likely go see it next week, is the consensus that BP is a "must-see" in order to grasp all the plot threads, or is it one that not seeing it before seeing Infinity War won't materially impact what's going on in IW? For example, I'd consider Thor: Ragnarok must see to explain why Thor and GOTG are suddenly pal-ing around, or CW and the reveal that Bucky is being held in Wakanda.

You can likely see IW without seeing BP, but I'd watch BP anyway. It seemed like among the best of Marvel movies to me, perhaps about third. The main thing that might confuse you if you don't see BP is you may not know some of the characters that surround the King and that will be in IW. I haven't seen Thor: Ragnarok yet and won't get to before I see IW. I think I'll be mostly all right. I'm going Friday likely to IW, best I can do this week.

Kalbear Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Other than not knowing who some of the characters are there's nothing must see about Black Panther for IW. (it's still a really good movie though, and you should see it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 @Martell Spy & @Kalbear Okay cool, thanks. I'm definitely going to see BP and irritated that I haven't been able to yet. I just wanted to make sure I didn't need to shoehorn in an extra trip to the theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Richard II Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I won't get to see IW til Monday probably but from what I understand you can get all you need from just watching the Black Panther trailer. I mean, GO SEE BLACK PANTHER ITS FUCKING AWESOME but, you don't need to see it first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've created the spoiler thread. Us Australians get to see things earlier sometimes, I guess - dying to hear what other people thought about it.

In a general MCU thread there should never be spoilers for a movie that's not released globally yet, nor anything spoilery for at least 2-3 weeks after globally release. If you wanna talk spoilery-like then a IW (open spoilers) thread should be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly, if BP holds according to form, the MCU will be the first (I think) movie franchise to have 2 movies simultaneously in the USA top 10 at the box office. It was 8th last weekend and it could say 8th or only drop to 9th or 10th this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeor Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 This is killing me not being able to discuss it yet! Hopefully some other Australian posts in the spoiler thread eventually. Based on the presales it looks like Infinity War is going to be the biggest at the box office for 2018. However, given the massive budget (reputedly 300-400 million) and what I've heard is an industry rule of thumb of the box office gross needing 3-4 times budget in order to make a profit, they're really banking a lot on this one.

That can only be Hollywood accounting. The most extreme I've ever heard is that big movies typically spend the equivalent of their budget on marketing so they have to double their money to start making bank. But even that sounds a bit much to me tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like fans has reached unanimous agreement not to spoil each other. And I find it rather noble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
