The Batman | March 4, 2022 | Warner Bros.

Batman kinda lacking that imposing appearance aside, looks intriguing enough. Considering the talent involved, i'm sure it's gonna be a solid movie. -

Back in the day Burton's Batman was considered dark and gritty. Times change. I'd love to see a Gotham in the vein of Burton's vision of the city, though. In the recent movies it has looked just like any other city. Boring. -

It's Batboy, pretending to be Batman, with his cobbled together suit. I guess that's the point, him being on his second year. -
Well, that's news... Dunno about huge mistake, it's not like the story revolves around these worms. You gotta do without them in the marketing, though. They make for a nice money shot i'd imagine... I just hope we get to the sequel. It would be a shame otherwise. Also, 300 effects shots for a movie of that type and scale? Doesn't sound like much.

I mean, i understand that Lynch is bitter about the whole experience, i would have been, too, however, i like to think of myself that i'd be able to put that aside and check out someone else's version. Maybe it's a good movie, you know. Why would you deny yourself that? And ultimately, it's been decades.

Doesn't make much sense. Why would it do as well as his other movies AT BEST? If you believe it will underperform, fine, but not seeing any way this could do more than his other projects is just ridiculous. For one, his other movies weren't supposed to be "epics", even Blade Runner was at the end of the day a film noir, a detective story. As for the studio not committing to a sequel, they rarely do. Ultimately, it is a risky proposition, it's big budget and unproven. Doesn't mean they have no faith.

Jungle Cruise | July 30 2021 | Disney | Delayed a full year
Elessar replied to grim22's topic in Box Office Discussion
It's pretty clear what tone they are going for and you figured it out yourself, Pirates of the Caribbean. I actually think it looks kind of decent. I'm usually the "the more serious the better" kind of guy but sometimes a well made film in the vein of Pirates / Mummy / Indy can be a lot of fun as well. There are much too few movies of this kind (action adventure / globetrotting / mystery). -
Terminator: Dark Fate | Nov 1 2019 | Estimated to lose 122.6M

The Ramos girl wasn't even the lead as i recall. Anyway, can't understand how anyone can prefer that wannabe Sarah Connor and Kyle Reese, i favor the original and especially Mackenzie Davis acted circles around anyone in Genisys. As for the plot, Dark Fate's actually was very straightforward. The solution to all this is the future war movie that Cameron doesn't muster any enthusiasm for, unfortunately.
