That's all we expect from these movies, isn't it?

Exactly. That is why I am pretty confident you and me will enjoy it.

Just has to be better than 4

[shayhiri]

It is way worse though.

Chances are: you won't.

 

Just accept it guys. This is a straight-to-TV flick. Laughable budget and horrible rookie female!! director.

What does that have to do with anything?

[shayhiri]

That was the final nail in the coffin. You really think that a rookie TV female director can do fantasy action like Len Wiseman did in Underworld 2??

 

LOL!! It's a disaster.

[Bishop54]

Don't be sexist Shay, there's no place for that and this is definitely not the place for that. 

[shayhiri]

OMG. Show me one good female action director!! No sexism, just common sense - if I knew who the director was ahead of seeing this, I wouldn't be so disappointed.

In order for me to name one one needs to be given a chance.

Yeah, I did some math meanwhile, worked it out myself. Also, I'm pretty sure there are some good ones already, maybe not too popular yet...

 

OK, I'm sorry it sounded off - it would have been just as bad with a nobody male director. It looks like they've dumped the series by this point. Really bad.

Watched this yesterday after Moana. It's... uh.... yeah, cool stuff here and there, and the rest is just plain terrible.

What? I thought this was 4. I even have the first 3 on DVD. 

[DeeCee]

Australian opening of around AUD1.4-1.6 million suggests USD15-20m OW. 

 

The opening will be a 40% drop from the last one which benefited from opening on a public holiday Thursday. 

 

I'm thinking $17m OW. Give or take a million.

Kathryn Bigelow is quite good at action set pieces.

 

However, like it has been mentioned, if no woman is given a chance, how will she prove her mettle?

It's just like the eternal argument of "Well, if there were any Asian/Latino/Native American movie stars, these blockbusters would not be cast with just whites" versus the "Well, if Hollywood actually gave more Asian/Latino/Native American actors the same chances to become film stars that they give whites, there would be Asian/Latino/Native American movie stars to cast these movies."

Oh, come on! That's just Jim Cameron's wife. Of course she picked up something.

 

LOL, jking... She was the first (and only) one I thought about straight away - but she's not visual enough for the movies we're talking here. I'm talking: female Zack Snyder, or Tarsem Singh, Gore Verbinski, Joseph Kosinski, etc...

 

All you've got are the Wachowski bros... lol

I thought of the Wachowski's but I didn't want to even open that can of worms.

I don't think people in general, and specially women given history, like to be defined by their spouses, specially when using such an adverb as "just" right before it. Even in jest.

 

Anyways, Anna Foerster has got a couple more of action movies incoming after Underworld, so hopefully she'll someday become a great action director, who knows?

Watched it last night. Decent but entertaining. Will not appeal to anybody beyond the fans of the franchise.
