Why do you think it flopped?

The movie was crap, but it sure as hell didn't flop. It made over $300M.
How did that happen?
One would think that word of mouth would have torpedoed this pile.
Of course I didn't know about when I rented it, so there is that. -

Worldwide gross.
It's very hard to make a movie flop with overseas markets willing to watch ANYTHING.
You almost have to try to make a movie no one on Earth will stomach.
Always remember, there are 7 billion people now. You only need to attract a fraction of 1% to make hundreds of millions in profits.
There's no reason to put effort into writing a solid story, because enough idiots love mindless special effects hence the "Transformers" franchise.. -

You're right, Jurassic World, Transformers and The Avengers are also insultingly bad, yet amassed millions. Let me therefore rephrase my reply:
Beats me. Yet, it still sucks major rotten donkey balls.-You won't forget me now?
-No. I've got nobody else to remember. -

I love how since some of you nitwits don't like certain movies that you cannot understand how millions of other people can. Pretty funny. Like your OPINION matters in the grand scheme of things.
You don't like certain movies? Good for you. Insult other people cause they like those certain movies? Well, that makes you an a-hole. -

I understood what you meant, but next time you should work a little bit more on your grammar. If you think it's normal for millions of people to enjoy a juvenile, sloppy, downright illogical movie, and which therefore assumes the audience has the mental capacity of a toddler, it's your right. I for one, think it's appaling and alarming, and given that I am an intelligent being like everyone else in the world, I have the full right to express my distaste for such a shallow and contrived piece of factory-processed filmmaking, with the only aim of making millions, while making use of the lowest common denominator in Cinema.

This is a forum. I suppose you are aware of how a forum works?
Insult other people cause they like those certain movies? Well, that makes you an a-hole.
And where exactly did I insult anyone? You on the other hand, had no issues with calling me "nitwit" and "a-hole" on your very first reply.-You won't forget me now?
-No. I've got nobody else to remember. -

I hate NYSM so f'ing much and this perfectly crystalizes all my problems with the movie itself and the industry that pooped it out. I'd marry you in the next life if you're not busy.
