I'm so confused...

 

One side: when Disnet tries to make some different- it's always flop. Not only BO but quality.

 

Another side: Ava DuVernay whose is so talented...

I mean, the trailer is already some months old ... maybe there were still post-production work to make, and those scenes may look more glossy-shiny-bloomy-disney-y, but if it looks like the trailer ... 

It looks like a TV movie to me and Oprah is really the biggest problem. Her personality is just too big to disappear into a character. It feels like Lead Girl meets Oprah, not whatever magic fairy she's supposed to play. I mean, is Oprah even a boxoffice draw? The Butler success was all concept + Forest.

I'm 100% certain this is going to have its passionate fans regardless of how it turns out, but right now I don't have much of a reason to believe it won't end up like those other two movies.

Better than the one attached to TLJ, IMO.  Also like that it's selling the main thrust of the plot (of the book at least).  Still don't like the warrior stuff, but it was a bit more thematic here than out of the blue in the previous trailer.

 

Still not 'wow'ing me, but at least it's trending upward.

Finally watched it. The lack of "Sweet Dreams" is disappointing, but it still looks enjoyable.

Not sure about Forest, like most actors lot of is movies make $0 at the box office:

23 of is movies in the 2000's made less than 10 millions worldwide vs 20 that made more.

 

Lee Daniels/Dany Strong (extremely popular Empire tv series co-creator and writer), Weinstein selling magic were a big part of Butler success. Not sure about Oprah, feel like in the good product like The Butler that she can bring a lot of awareness.

 

The 2 big to disappear in character is true, but true for any movie star (except a bit Streep/DDL), Tom Hanks is always Tom Hanks on screen same for Cruise or Arnold or Dwayne Johnson, that why you use movie star you want to use what they project to audience by never not being them on screen.

Definitely the best trailer yet. They've gotten progressively better. Still think this looks appealing and is going to be the top Spring movie easily.

The more fantasy movies do well the better.

I think the better question is...

What exactly has ever made this seem like it's going to be so bad?

 

Some people here seem to be exclusively hung up on this whole "be a warrior" line, as if it's "I don't like sand..." or something.

Well, I’m just hung up on people I know going...ehhh...about it.

 

But what do they know.

I mean, they’re just much more excited about Mary Poppins Returns.  I’ll leave it at that.

Problem is the trailer seems not to have much in common with the book.

Well it's a trailer, so they're trying to sell it to a specific audience. That doesn't mean the film itself will be unfaithful to the novel.
