  1. Have we considered that "From the producer of" credits mean absolutely nothing to audiences?

     

    ALITA looked weird. DARK FATE followed a string of TERMINATOR sequels that audiences rejected-to-flat-out-hated.

     

    This isn't shocking, nor is it an indictment of Cameron. Last I checked, AVATAR 2 wasn't following AVATAR: GENISYS.

    Robert Evans said that in the 1960s.

    The explosion of the superhero genre is really no different than the raise and fall of the Western and the Musical.  You could even toss in New Hollywood Cinema (Shout Out to Cannastop and Jason's List, lots of good movies there) or the 90s Independent Film Movement if you want to look at trends.  It comes from a mixture of right film at the right time, Industry apery, audience's ever-changing tastes (and I'd toss in need for escapism).  Like all good genres, it will come to an end.  And something else will take is place.  The beat goes on, as Cher would say.

     

    I think it's less superhero movies and more IPs: people are reluctant to see movies they aren't already familiar or comfortable with. It just so happens comic books are something a massive amount of people are familiar with, either through reading them or enjoying adaptations growing up.

    But is she inside it at the very least?

     

     

    Okay I promise this is the last thing I will post in this thread with a spoiler tag! (For the people passing over them, we're not talking about major plot revelations or third act details)

     

    Spoiler

    Yes. It's a wonderful, beautiful scene.

    That's exactly what happened with the pre-sales draft. Stallone took the great script and ruined it with his rewrites, killing character development, tone, action scenes, great (and even unique) details, scale, drama and even the ending. It was very dark, depressing and emotionally devastating drama inspired by Unforgiven with great action and surprisingly big attention to details. I'd say the script was too good for Rambo movie/Millenium action flick and maybe it shouldn't be a surprise that Sly ruined it, he did it with many projects in his career, including Cameron's Rambo 2, but Last Blood is one of the worst cases.  The final movie is just your average action flick, but with bad editing and that also feels cheap, like direct-to-vod cheap in some parts.

    I need to find this draft.

     

    I found the film satisfying enough, but it keeps nagging at me that it could have been considerably better.
