What i don´t get is: Why do they destroy their own success with exaggerating? Let me explain. As a child i loves Star Wars movies, the original first three that were made. Years later they started to inflationary continue the story to a point where i lost completely the interest in Star Wars movies (except the original ones).
As a kid i loved to watch zombie movies. The good stuff, Romero for example. Then they started a decade or more of zombie movies and series, zombies everywhere. And i lost the interest in watching zombie movies.
After that zombie hype they started the super hero hype. In the beginning there were some good ones, the Batman trilogy, the Iron Man trilogy, i even watched that season of the Punisher series and liked it. But all that incessant hype for years, it feels like there are several new super hero movies a week since years, made me hate super hero movies and series.
It´s like you tell somebody that you like chicken soup and this somebody starts to cook and feed you with only the always same chicken soup for breakfast, lunch, dinner and as a snack in between, for years. Who wouldn´t start to hate that soup after a while?
If they push something so hard to make it mainstream it will be destroyed because it got mainstream!
Cheers

I thought the cgi was good when I saw it. I didn't hear of anyone being called racist for not liking the movie. So you think the only reason that people liked the movie was because people didn't want to be called racist? "The worst movie of the "century......" Huh? This movie made over a trillion dollars worldwide! That's pretty darn good for the worst movie of the century.

Correction: this movie made over 1 billion dollars.

I don't remember the first movie being overhyped but for what it's worth, it is a great movie. Girl power? Yeah, in the original comic book his sister does take over the mantle so I think in this movie it will be the same. The story would've probably eventually taken this turn regardless but the passing of Chadwick is making this change happen sooner.
