I bet you masturbate during the film.

It'll probably fall waaaaay short of that $185 million you predicted.

Dead serious...

Do you know her personally? If not, you don't even know if she's an actual person much less if she's being genuine/serious.

Google her name. She's a real person. Russian bots aren't a real thing.

She was also dead serious. It's right up her ally politically, and she's doubled down since then.

Lol wut? You're kidding, right?

Bots exist, but the whole "Russian bot" meme is a conspiracy theory invented by robby mook and john podesta as an excuse for losing the election.

Quote:Fake News and Bots May Be Worrisome, but Their Political Power Is Overblown

In fact, a recent meta-analysis of numerous different forms of campaign persuasion, including in-person canvassing and mail, finds that their average effect in general elections is zero.

Field experiments testing the effects of online ads on political candidates and issues have also found null effects. We shouldn’t be surprised — it’s hard to change people’s minds! Their votes are shaped by fundamental factors like which party they typically support and how they view the state of the economy. “Fake news” and bots are likely to have vastly smaller effects, especially given how polarized our politics have become.

Wait, a movie about a comic book character is going to be inspiring AND great?

Seems a pretty low bar.

I, a white boy, will be critical of this film and judge it on its merit if I damn well please and you social justice warriors will like it! And if you don't like it, well, tough.

Well, yea. Esp if you intentionally try to cut out 87% of the possibly attending populace.

Just stupid.

My Honky white daughter, her Phillipino and Korean friends have already bought tickets and will be there tomorrow/tonight. Should they stay away?
F that. They are free to go wherever they’d like, whenever they’d like. It’s as much their “theater” (read Country) as anyone’s.

Y’all clowns will get it coming.

I, for one, look forward to the “fight”.

Not a literal fight, never a fan of that, been through too many, the fight of ideas.

The left will always lose.

Who are you to tell African-Americans what they can and cannot be inspired by? This film represents a change, soon there will be major African-American film studios run entirely by people of color telling only stories of people of color. This film starts to level the playing field and will show aspiring African-American actors that they can conquer Hollywood and not he held down by white oppression any longer. This film is more than just another superhero film. This film is the beginning of the end for white Hollywood.

You live in a delusion land because of your white privelage. You don’t see the importance of this film because you are incapable of seeing it. This film goes beyond anything we as white people can comprehend. Anybody on this board that’s trashes this film mine as well come out and say “yes I am a racist”

Anyone who claims this is the end all be all of movies due to the ethnicity of the characters can be labeled as a racist as well.

What a mewling quim.

It's not a bad movie. I think it was overrated. A little to political for me when I want to watch a Marvel Action movie.

Good music, good villains, and good action but the special effects were not as good as they could have been.

It was a pretty mixed audience in the movie theater I was in on opening weekend. No big deal.
