The International box office will have to be significant since this will have to hit $600-$700 million to break even. These movies usually have a noticeable drop in the domestic box office the second week so it will be interesting to see what happens. I liked the movie but didn't think it was great. I want the movie to succeed so Warner Brothers/DC will continue making comic book based movies. Sooner or later either a DC or Marvel movie will be a major boxoffice disappointment.

I don't know if I'd brand someone who went to see the movie for themselves and found it disappointing a "Marvel hater" by any means.
I think there is a small group out there on social media who want it to fail and hate it without seeing it. When I posted on social media that I personally enjoyed the film, I was treated to an angry diatribe as to why I am wrong by someone who clearly hadn't seen it. Passion is weird.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

I didn't hate it, and I don't think I used that word in my critique. In fact, if they release it on 3D Blu Ray, I will probably buy it. I can enjoy critiquing and studying movies I find highly flawed, even if the movie didn't hit the right beats for me personally. I like to think that's different than both internet rage or being a hater. You have to figure this is a bit of a hotbutton property, and there are going to be dissenting opinions on it, even here in our fun Mego Museum family.
And as for the alcohol thing, for whatever reason, I hold the fictional characters of Batman and the Superfriends to a higher standard than I do Tony Stark, who had raging alcohol problems in his comic stories when I was growing up. Marvel actually used his alcoholism as an issue to deal with using the comics medium. Downey offering Loki a drink in Avengers had a different feel than Aquaman downing his bourbon from the bottle. I'm not explaining it well, I know. It just struck me as very in your face that half the Justice League were hittin' the bottle.
I'm such a little kid, I swear if Jeremy Irons brought Affleck a glass of 2%, I'd have stood out of my seat and slow clapped.
See, this is why I like Creepshow. You get Adrienne Barbeau mixing whole milk with her whiskey, then taking the milky concoction for a drive to see the beast in the crate. It's the best of both worlds.Comment

I have no problem with folks that didn't like it. I just have a problem with people telling me I shouldn't like it, and especially with those who get angry enough about it to start trying to belittle me for it. I haven't had any of that here, or anywhere yet, honestly. But, unfortunately, I'm kind of waiting.
I like and or love most of the Marvel films to one degree or another. The only one I'm kind of "eh" on is Iron Man 3, and it's mostly due to that damn twist.
I'm kind of "meh" on MoS now, and I actively dislike BvS for it's wrong-headedness now. Suicide Squad was just harmlessly dumb. Like a big budget 80s action movie with some DC characters thrown in. The Batman scenes were really nice, IMHO.
So even though I'm more of a DC guy, I will never deny that Marvel Studios has their formula down pat, and DC has struggled from the get-go. But I do feel they got WW near perfect, and JL very close to right. Close enough for me to really enjoy my time at the movies.
