If anyone has to watch it based on the awful reviews just do us all a favor and for the love of Pete buy a ticket to a different film.

Every ticket bought for this no matter the reason is just proving arrogant MBJ right. You literally are seeing it anyway.

Dredd ... Now, let's talk about movies that actually deserved some box office success ... :)

:csad:

Dredd not doing well enough for a sequel was devastating. One of my favourite CBMs.
 
I bask in your judgement.

That's why MBJ will be proved right in the end, because he knows people are going to see it even if it is absolutely terrible and that some people have no willpower.
 
I have the first week off in September. I'll probably see it then.

As curious as I am to watch this supposed trankwreck, I can wait a couple of weeks. I have no intention of contributing $15 to its opening weekend.
 
My gut's telling me that Deadpool will be an awful movie, but have a great box office.
 
I'm looking forward to it, but the comedy in the trailer was very hit or miss for me. That bit where he rolls the window down and speaks to the armed guys fell completely flat. A little cringy.
 
I liked the trailer, but I do have my doubts for the Deadpool movie. I don't mind some of the humor that was presented in the trailer, but I certainly hope it isn't the entire movie.

I enhoyed Dredd. Real shame it didn't perform better. Part of me wonders if Dredd would be better served on tv with a goid budget and mature rating like Game if Thrones. A series would be great for exploring the world and story arcs more.

We'll have to tell this story to our grandkids:

"Well children we almost did get the Fantastic Four in this glorious combined cinematic universe well call the MCU. The critics hated it and the general audience didn't want it, but alas all of those who rooted again this movie just had to see for themselves opening weekend, and it made enough to get a sequel and Fox has held on ever since.

In the end Fox wasn't our worst enemy, it was our own curiosity. We ourselves put to death the only chance of a complete MCU. MBJ was right. We saw it anyway..."

*cue thousand yard stare from the story teller and soft weeping from the children*

I had been thinking this myself, actually. A Dredd series on HBO or AMC, or a streaming service like Netflix, would be fantastic. You could fully explore that world beyond the scope of the film, and continue from where that left off. So much potential

I picture this being told by Shelbyville's Grandpa Simpson counterpart while passing around oversugarred radish juice.

That was pretty good.
If the weekend totals come in and Fox ends up making a press release saying they are officially moving forward with a sequel based on a strong weekend performance, I'll feel some level of guilt (even though this is a free ticket). As it stands, I see this sinking like a lead balloon.
 
It's all accounting. Even a free ticket counts as a ticket. There's no such thing as a free lunch.
 
Diversity from the movie with the "no girlz allowed" trip to another dimension. :o


Trank has her in the kitchen making sandwiches. I wonder if part of the MBJ race baiting was to cover that up?

The problem is that your one viewing may not mean much, but if all the detractors do the same thing that would make this a success. Free tickets just remove your money from the equation, the theater still has to give money to Fox fo rit and it counts toward gross.

If you have to pull an MBJ at least use that on a ticket to any other movie playing in the theater.

Ironically, I bet the bulk of the audience this weekend will be made up of true FF fans who were against this movie just going to check out how bad it is.
 
I'll probably pay to see Rogue Nation and sneak into this afterward this weekend.

How's that for a free ticket?
