No, it will fail like BR2049. Which failed only because of the director's approach. Actually, Dune will fail worse. Because Blade Runner at least had the cult status of the original to lure people in. Dune has nothing. And will be given nothing by this director - only taken from. Dune CAN be made into a lucrative movie - but only by someone like JJ Abrams. If it looks and feels like Star Wars. Instead they chose the worst director possible for this job. I am 100% certain this will bomb. It would have flopped even with a good director - but putting it in The Frenchie's tiny little grabby hands is like burying the movie in the ground BEFORE putting a mercy shot through its head. Once again, ANY other director (barring fellow midget Ruin Johnson), and I'd at least be happily awaiting to see the movie FIVE times - even while knowing it will 90% bomb. But now I don't even want to see it that much. BR2049 was a slog and a waste, while still miles better than all other miserable movies of the Frenchie.

LOL #triggered!! But they won't go to jail, obviously. And since they just made this, what's to stop them from making the same type of movie - but with girls, next year? Would you like that better? -
I am VERY excited, yes. And I don't watch movies at home, only in cinemas. I just saw Alita SEVEN times. And I will tell you why I am so excited: because last year, the abysmal 2018, had only like FIVE good big movies. And the big stink is that only Solo was a normal movie, the rest of the Top5 were all... superheroes. 😕 This has to stop, now. And 2019 is giving us the perfect chance: dozens of great big movies, and only a small fraction of them are superheroes. We've already had the Alita masterpiece, the next big one is Aladdin, and there will be more.

LOL, as if anything else is good amongst the big movies. Fucking superheroes drowning everything. Aladdin at least is original and bold in its setting. Show your respect for that! PS: I'd much rather have a well made Bollywood movie (and Aladdin is SO much more than that!) than the same superhero circlej*rk, again, and again, and again.

Lol, exactly! I just called out cax16 on that. He was like: my kids are not interested in seeing Aladdin. I was like: really? so just take them, they'll thank you later. And he was like: noo, I have to see all superhero movies a couple of times each first. So, yeah, he who gives the money decides what the kids will or will not want to see, lol. Tough luck for them.

The fuck?? Doctor Strange is Top 3 material - and surely the most original movie in the whole cookie cutter MCU. AND he was more fun in his own movie than in the Avengers hodge-podge, but the latter is no ones fault. Very glad they are keeping him alive though. With all the old heroes dying, and most of the new recruits sucking, Strange seems to be the only MCU name left that can excite me.

Absolutely what it really was. And you know what the funny thing is? Many people at this point (me at least) are so desperate for more good Marvel, that we'll take even that surrogate, as the BO shows. What the BO of the next solo Marvel movie will show, is it is NOT a good idea to serve people less than they have come to expect.

Thanks, Tree. And another, much more recent and transparent example... Does ANYone at that point consider that all the MONSTROUS negative buzz hurt Captain Marvel One Little Bit?? LOL, look at its OW numbers. If the free online publicity by the countless, voluntarily working haters changed them at all - it only increased them.

Sorry, but this is really stupid, and I'll show you why, like 1+1=2. See 2. in your statement? It directly contradicts 1. The amount of ridicule the trailer genie was supposedly getting on the net is DIRECTLY PROPORTIONATE to the extent of this movie's online awareness. There. Is. No. Bad. Exposure.
