I was greatly disappointed by The Avengers ... and I loved the first one. I thought it was dull and pointless. It's going to make $500 million plus.
On the other hand, I was blown away by Tomorrowland. Despite the so-so reviews and the fading box office, I thought it was a brilliant film -- by far the best Bird has done. Easily the best film I've seen in the last couple of years. Yet, it will be lucky to reach $150 million.
I don't get it.
