Ozymandias Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) No one sets out to make a bad movie. No, I'm sure the Wachowski's thought they were making something great and unique, but how this was green lit by studios heads is kinda baffling. I mean really, some of the reviews say the dialogue in this makes George Lucas look like Quentin Tarantino. Contrary to popular opinion, I do believe the public is thirsty for original material instead of having sequels, remakes, reboots, prequels, spinoffs, and comic book movies all the time. But that doesn't mean they'll show up for an original movie that looks really goofy/cheesy that actually did turn out really terrible according to a huge majority of film critics.

theultimatebiu Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Yay spongebob. And for those trying to dismiss spongebob as Childish and immature I suggest you watch the early seasons. Especially the episode Sailor Mouth. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wormhole Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 What about Edge of Tomorrow? And Interstellar? You don't mean to tell me those are horrendous do you? Where did he imply that either was horrendous? Interstellar was a smash, and Edge of Tomorrow, while probably not profitable, wasn't a huge money loser.

DAJK Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 LOL no it's not. The Wachowskis are done getting big-budgets, though. Unless they agree to do a Matrix reboot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZappBrannigan Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Unless they agree to do a Matrix reboot... I would not be surprised if they had agreed to do another Matrix movie in order to get JA greenlit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Futurist Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Stop with the Matrix talk people. This is not happening. The Wachoskis already dismissed the idea during their JA press tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No dialogue in any film can be bad enough to make George Lucas seem like Quentin Tarantino. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) Wachowskis might be given a DC movie They would do well with Green Lantern. But they don't normally do the director for hire thing. Edited February 7, 2015 by grim22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Wang Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I don't see what the big deal is when an adult decides to go see an animated movie. It's just another genre to me, no different than action or comedy or drama. Yes, it's aimed more towards kids, but there are a lot of really damn good animated movies out there. Just like any other genre, I will be picky and choose only the ones I want to see. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dementeleus Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 No, I'm sure the Wachowski's thought they were making something great and unique, but how this was green lit by studios heads is kinda baffling. I mean really, some of the reviews say the dialogue in this makes George Lucas look like Quentin Tarantino. I think you're looking at this the wrong way. Dialogue is not exactly an arbiter of whether a movie will be a hit... I mean, jeez, look at stuff like TRANSFORMERS. WB rolled the dice because the Wachowskis have delivered big-time before (especially THE MATRIX, which probably confused a great deal of people when it was in concept/pre-production stage). Here was an opportunity to see if another franchise could get jumpstarted. In terms of weirdness, I'm guessing nothing in JA is weirder than, say, 10-foot tall blue cat aliens (AVATAR), or talking raccoons (GOTG), to name but two recent hits. So... they went for it. And they failed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
