Not on Disney+ so no general availability. But surprisingly good first half.


Hardly anyone goes to the cinema anymore. They missed their chance.
Second half is a bit tedious and overly long.

I guess I must not be sane then. I'm going to see it this Friday at the cinema.

Great choice

reply

Plenty of people go to the theater, and while I think it probably wont do well, I doubt a day one release on Disney + will help that.

reply

I’ll see it in a theater. I’m vaccinated and I’ll be wearing a mask like everyone else. That should work fine.

reply

For all my trips to the theater in the past year or so, I've yet to see anyone wearing a mask. Do you really wear a mask through an entire film?

reply

I haven't been to a theater since 2019 but yes, I would wear a mask. Keep in mind, I worked with a mask on for 8 hours, five days a week. A little movie isn't a big deal.

reply

No one wears a mask when I go to the theater now. How do you eat like that?

reply

I don't eat over priced food at the theater, regardless of a pandemic.

reply

Half the fun of the theater is popcorn and soda pop! Sometimes it's all the fun when the movie stinks.

reply

I don’t like popcorn and soda is something I can take or leave but I certainly wouldn’t pay theater price for Coke.

reply

i caught candyman in a fairly packed theatre last weekend, and i'm catching shang-chi opening day.

i'm obviously insane.

reply

I've been going to theater regularly through the pandemic. I wouldn't worry about it.

We can't shut-down our lives over a virus that the vast majority of people will recover from anyway even if they get it.

reply

I'm fully vaccinated and will be wearing a mask, and I'll be seeing "Shang-Chi" Thursday night in Real3D!

reply

How wrong you are , watch Quiet Place 2 in the Theatre and it was almost full, seeing Shang Chi aswell, we shall revisit this post in a few weeks.

reply

You flunked Troll School.

reply

I've been many times in the past year or so, and nearly every time it's been a packed house. Maybe the whole world is insane, and you're the only sane person, or, more likely, you're the lone idiot.

reply

At least it's clear now why the pandemic won't go away.

reply

I wonder-- do you match your mask to your tinfoil hat, or is it okay if they clash as you are hiding alone indoors 24/7?

reply

Huh? Mask haven't been mandatory here for months now (in most places) and I get out all the time. But to outside or well ventilated venues and restaurants. Not locked up for hours with dozens of strangers in a poorly ventilated theater. And box office results prove that most people still won't visit the cinemas.
I found one that had only 10 other people for my showing and had open doors to outside with plenty of ventilation. It's not IMAX but at least it was relatively safe.

reply

I've been several times as well.

I kept going right up to the time they closed the doors and I started going again as soon as they reopened. Went to see A Quiet Place II, F9, Old, Jungle Cruise, Free Guy and now Shang Chi.

reply

I may be forgetting some, but I've seen Shang Chi, Black Widow, Godzilla vs. Kong, Nobody, The Green Knight, The Paw Patrol Movie, The Boss Baby 2, Bad Black (a crazy but somehow excellent Ugandan film), and Frozen in theaters since they reopened here.

reply

I caught Godzilla vs Kong on HBO Max. Nobody I grabbed out of Redbox. Both were solid watches.

Haven't seen Black Widow or The Green Knight yet but I'm sure I'll catch both eventually. Gonna be skipping Paw Patrol and Boss Baby.

Can't say I've heard of Bad Black.
