BOX OFFICE: GODZILLA Passes $300 Million Worldwide; Updates On TASM2 And X-MEN: DOFP

The latest numbers are in for Gareth Edwards' Godzilla, and while he's going to be busy with Star Wars for the next year or two, they're good enough to ensure he'll return for the sequel! We also have updates on The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and X-Men: Days of Future Past...

MrBlack @ True, for a change a good X-Men movie, great they finally went on the NEW52/STAR TREK path and wiped a lot of their [frick]ed up X-continuity... looks like someone finally listened.

Don't plan on seeing Godzilla. I'll probably watch it on the internet after its DVD release.

DoFP is the second best CBM of the year and I'll bet it stays there for me. Guardians will either be first or third in my opinion.
MrCBM56
MrCBM56 - 5/25/2014, 1:27 PM
After seeing TASM 2 again... I don't know what the [frick] I was thinking giving it a 8/10.
NovaCorpsFan
NovaCorpsFan - 5/25/2014, 1:28 PM
MrCBM

I'm considering seeing it again to reaffirm my thoughts on it. Dunno if I should now.

JillyMcBeam - 5/25/2014, 1:30 PM
I agree BlackJack. Here's to DOFP.
MrBlackJack
MrBlackJack - 5/25/2014, 1:30 PM
@LEEE Yeah, and I can't wait for future films to come after here the writer admitting that he [frick]ed up the Dark Phoenix Saga and hopes to redo it!
MrBlackJack
MrBlackJack - 5/25/2014, 1:31 PM
Just, just make sure Logan has adamantium claws in Apocalypse. Bone claws, I hate them.
MrCBM56
MrCBM56 - 5/25/2014, 1:31 PM
@NovaCorpsFan I saw it in 3D the second time, 3D was excellent. Flaws jumped right at me.

I called a 70% drop. Whatevs, close enough.

As long as DOFP does better at the box office than Godzilla I'll be a happy chappy
MrCBM56
MrCBM56 - 5/25/2014, 1:33 PM
Seriously though, the first time I saw TASM2 I was with my friends looking to have a good time. It delivered then, but definitely not a film you go see to... Well... See a good film.

Mrcbm, you had a TWS and DOFP sandwich after watching "Amazing". That's what happened.
MrCBM56
MrCBM56 - 5/25/2014, 1:34 PM
Cap 2-10/10

TASM 2-4/10

Brainiac13 @ Yeah man, hope u enjoy! ;P

MrBlack @ Me too, just hope Singer sticks with the next few X-movies, don't want it all Foxed up again :p

Yeah bones claws are cool for about 5 minutes lol.

I had my doubts about X-Men: DOFP, but Bryan Singer pulled it off. It was a fantastic film and deserves every penny it makes. I'm going to see it again this Wednesday in 3D!
MrCBM56
MrCBM56 - 5/25/2014, 1:37 PM
I'm waiting for Pasto to come and declare Godzilla the best film this year.
NovaCorpsFan
NovaCorpsFan - 5/25/2014, 1:37 PM
MrCBM

Yeah, I am definitely not gonna see it again. Won't even buy the DVD, it's just not worth my money.

GeekyCheekyChic - 5/25/2014, 1:37 PM
Tomorrow I get to do a superhero sandwich of Winter Soldier and DOFP- So excited...I will never ever see TASM 2 again- it is in the same pile of shit as Rise of the Silver Surfer.
ComicGeekUK
ComicGeekUK - 5/25/2014, 1:38 PM
DOFP - 9/10
Tasm 2- 7/10
Godzilla- 4/10
Cap Tws- 8/10

Awesome. Godzilla was amazing, but DOFP was something else! It's been a great year for movies so far. In my opinion anyways.
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 5/25/2014, 1:38 PM
MrCBM56 @ C'mon man, nothing can be 10/10 lol...

I'd take .5 off CAP 2 and a couple off DOFP :P

GODZILLA I have no idea, not seen it yet.
HavocPrime
HavocPrime - 5/25/2014, 1:38 PM
DOFP deserves it as does Godzilla. The Medicore Spider-Man can die in a fire.
JillyMcBeam
JillyMcBeam - 5/25/2014, 1:38 PM
I get why they did bone claws in DOFP with the timeline and all. Hopefully Apocalypse will feature the younger cast and metal claw Logan.
MrCBM56
MrCBM56 - 5/25/2014, 1:40 PM
The moment Godzilla focus shift from Joe to Ford, is the moment the movie starts to go downhill. Still. ATOMIC BREATH FTW!

Blackjack, I think everyone agrees that bone claws blow, but when it seemed like Singer was at least trying to do something in the way of continuity then he gets bashed for that too.

Not saying that's what you meant, but the whole Stryker-Wolverine angle I thought was played up perfectly in the movie (for the era it was portraying).

But yes, NO MORE bone claws, please.
MrCBM56
MrCBM56 - 5/25/2014, 1:41 PM
@LEEE LOL true man, I'm being generous. But point being, two excellent films.
