    Kubo & The Two Strings | 8/19/16 | LAIKA | Early Reviews are Very Positive

    in Box Office Discussion

    Posted

    Indeed, I saw this a few weeks ago and I wasn't too impressed with the overall story. Dialogue was mostly sharp though.

     

    But the visuals and imagination are really something, this movie is definitely worth seeing in my opinion. Very, very original at times, especially near the beginning.

     

    I just wish they went all-in with the possibilities they unlocked instead of resorting to generic stuff as far as story and action goes.

    None of that has anything to do with the quality of the actual movie, though. (To say nothing of the fact that a genial, pretty mild movie got savaged with some of the nastiest social media crap this side of GamerGate.)

     

    This movie was doomed from the start. I've been wondering lately just why it turned out to be such a shitshow... I mean, movie isn't really good, but to make it appear like the devil itself was really something coming from social media. And then came the articles about how it UTTERLY BOMBED at the box office while we've all here seen much, much worse performance from movies in general (even though it did do pretty bad)

     

    Anyway, we could go on and on about this, it just seems like re-booting a property that's dear to lots of people can, indeed, backfire horribly.

     

    Also, kinda random but imma purchase the remastered blu-ray release of Lawrence of Arabia since it's black friday, anyone watched this version? it's a fairly recent remaster, and apparently, incredible.

     

    Maybe @Grand Moff Tele , @Christmas Baumer ?
