Anyone going to see this one? I feel like it has potential!

I'll probably wait 'till it's out on vod.
Similar to the new Star Wars stuff I kinda lost faith in what the respective companies are doing with the franchise. At least enough not to be willing to spend money in the theatre only to go home disappointed.

FWIW I really enjoyed Solo... more than eps VII or VIII TBH....

I saw the preview and thought, “I already saw Big.”

Meh.

Kid wants to see it based on the trailer (that we saw at Captain Marvel, funnily enough). Might wait to see how the reviews pan out just to make sure that it's not another DC grimdark and gloomfest.

Yeah Im generally pretty forgiving with movies and have low expectations. But even this was a little "yawn" to me. Probably watch it on Netflix or whatnot.

What does the trailer need to do to convince you that this will be more of a comedy than a grimdark and gloomfest? There's humor all over it and Levi kills it. He's entirely believable as a thirteen going on thirty. Plus, Cooper Andrews!

1. Trailers can lie.
2. Trailers can show every good part of the movie.
3. DC does not have the sort of track record that makes me trust that their movies are good.

I'm fortunate enough that Movie Tavern here in Lexington, KY has $5 Tuesdays. Even on new films that just came out (Captain Marvel is $5 today). So I'll probably go see it for $5 *IF* the movie scores decently...

Sure I'll end up spending another $10-15 on food and a drink, but if you were gonna spend it on dinner anyways, why not add another $5 for a movie?

Their movies without Cavil seem to be well received.

But if it makes you feel better, Ill see it while eating a steak and report back to you.

You enjoy that steak. ;)

(Honestly, the kid is pretty much the age where I'm gonna stop getting invited to movies, and it's not like I'm gonna run out of media to consume any time soon... )
