Wait. Hostels, Hostel, or Hostiles?

Blue Steel

dammit. I messed it up - Hostiles

Ah, OK. Somebody was raving about that movie on a talk show a while back. Somebody famous. Can't remember.

My bad . . .

They stole an entire line from Unforgiven. I did like the movie though.

I don't want to hijack this thread, because that'd be racist - but it was the best western I've seen - by a pretty big margin - I'd say Outlaw Josey Wales was my prior #1

I really enjoyed the movie. Easily top 5 of the Marvel movies with CA: Winter Soldier being at the top for me.

I agree with the previous comment that Ulysses Klaue stole the show. I wish there was a way to get rid of him without killing him. Maybe a Captain America cameo to take him into custody or something.

Racist

ROFL:clap:

heh,

reminded me of an old 70s Blaxploitation movie or a Kung Fu film where you might see one or two token white guys show up to help 'sell it' to white audience.

I thought it was a really good movie. Kudos to the actors as others have praised. Well deserved. But, one of the top MCU movies? Sorry but not in my universe.

A Closer Look at 'Black Panther's Record Smashing Opening

by Brad Brevet



February 20, 2018

Actual grosses for the weekend are in and Black Panther continues to break more and more records after becoming only the fifth film to ever deliver over $200 million in its first three days of release and the second largest four-day gross in history. Those, however, are just some of the highlights from this past weekend and we'll begin by taking a look at the film's performance, beginning with the charts where Black Panther sits at #1.

LARGEST FEBRUARY OPENING WEEKEND - $202,003,951
PREVIOUS RECORD HOLDER: Deadpool ($132,434,639)

LARGEST WINTER SEASON OPENING WEEKEND - $202,003,951
PREVIOUS RECORD HOLDER: Deadpool ($132,434,639)

LARGEST PRESIDENT'S DAY WEEKEND OPENING - $242,155,680
PREVIOUS RECORD HOLDER: Deadpool ($152,193,853)

LARGEST MONDAY - $40,151,729
PREVIOUS RECORD HOLDER: Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($40,109,742)

LARGEST THURSDAY PREVIEW GROSS IN THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY - $25.2 million
PREVIOUS RECORD HOLDER: Deadpool ($12.7 million)

Beyond those charts, Black Panther places second only to Star Wars: The Force Awakens, as the second highest four-day gross of all-time and the second largest Sunday of all-time by just $485,750.

Black Panther also places second only to The Avengers on several charts, including the second highest opening for a comic book adaptation, for a film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, for a Marvel Comic adaptation and for a superhero movie. For that matter, within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Black Panther has already outgrossed the lifetime domestic totals for Doctor Strange ($232.6m), Thor: The Dark World ($206.3m), Thor ($181m), Ant-Man ($180.2m), Captain America: The First Avenger ($176.6m) and The Incredible Hulk ($134.8m) and will top Captain America: The Winter Soldier ($259.7m) once Tuesday grosses arrive.

This is what worried me. I thought "this movie is going to surprise a lot of people. It will be better than people think."

Then came the hype.
The hype around this made me think of TLJ - critics all knelt down to praise it and didn't seem able to find any negatives.

This I find odd because much of the CGI of the Panther looked very early Spiderman-ish. Not up to the level of a Marvel film at this point. That said the cast is solid and from what I hear this sets up Panther to be a big player (similar to his role pre-Secret Wars II.)

I know I'll end up seeing it at the theater but I'm hoping the insane hype doesn't ruin a really solid flick...
