I have so much nostalgia for League because it was one of the only DVDs the local store had for you to rent and I watched it 8 thousand times as a kid

2023-08-14 14:19:55 +0000 UTCI voted for Dark Phoenix cause I know it was a flop and haven't seen it due to it. If I do see it, I would want to watch it with a group to share comments on the nonsense of it all

2023-08-13 19:30:30 +0000 UTCMy boyfriend and I watched League recently and I was really disappointed with it. It's not bad-good, it's more like bad-boring. They had too many characters and none of them really got much development lol

2023-08-13 14:55:36 +0000 UTCI picked the League. I owned the dvd and watched it so much in my younger days haha. I mean it flopped so hard, Connery was like I’m out. And honestly makes no sense!!!

2023-08-13 14:37:57 +0000 UTCI felt like Punisher was a good movie for a Marvel movie before the Ironman formula. Also the actors were cliche but not flat-out bad (corny at times but not bad)

2023-08-13 12:57:43 +0000 UTCWas the punisher a flop? I grew up watching fx channel movies over dinner with my family and it felt like it was on all the time. Guess that's no sign of success though.
