I have no idea whether it's ho-hum or not. And "popcorn spectacle" can mean many things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrathOfHan Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Really the only criticism I'm seeing is that the film is torn between being like Alien and being like Prometheus. Fortunately, it seems like the horror parts are fucking amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNDERDOG Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 It seems that the 3rd act is a mess? Seems to be a common criticism I've seen, but that's pretty much it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrathOfHan Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I still think this is doing over 50M on OW. It's the first horror film in 2 months and the first horror film people give a damn about in 3 months, so the market is definitely ripe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPink Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Not sure if it hits 50 but thinking it can do high 40s. Fox has been very aggressive with the marketing. Reviews seem solid enough though I don't think it'll necessarily assuage fears from Prometheus. I don't think legs overall will be great however. Maybe a 47/115 run or something like that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNDERDOG Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) Hearing Danny McBride is a standout. Heh. Like there was any other outcome possible. Edited May 7, 2017 by UNDERDOG 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I actually liked Prometheus more than most people did so these positives have me very excited to see this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing I'm getting most interested from the reviews is the dynamic between Walter and David, the Fassbeast. I could be wrong but a review or two seems to hint at some kind of homoeroticism between them? Sounds amazing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somebody85 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) Read all the RT consensus and watched a few of the Youtube reviews. Sounds like it's going to be fun! A lot more excited for this then I was before Guardians. I'm really glad to hear that this movie isn't just a slasher with aliens. But yeah, I love hard R monster horror and it sounds like this delivers on that front. Can't wait. Edited May 7, 2017 by somebody85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
