So only 4 more days before Hacksaw Ridge has its world premiere at Venice film festival...

Excited for reviews this Saturday; should be very clear what the quality is

We must separate the art from the artist! What's that, Mel? "Shut the fuck up! You should just fucking smile and blow me! 'Cause I deserve it." Fair enough.

First reactions are online and seems like some people really won't like it but guess it has more to do with Gibson...

However war scenes (Okinawa) should be some amazing.

It could just tonally not match.

 

Alan Silverstri turned in a basically full Pirates score and they dumped it. Hans and his team came in with l 2 months left or something crazy. 

 

Silvestri was actually fired for apparently using woodwinds, which is ironic considering Pirates 3 finally used them. Bruckheimer has really somewhat weird taste in film music.

 

Shame about Debney, but it's probably because the score didn't match the tone of the film.

83% so far at Rotten Tomatoes with an average rating of 6.8/10. But only 6 reviews counted so far: 5 positive, 1 negative.
Read that The Telegraph (UK) is also positive with 4/5.

So in line with Gibson's previous films, it looks. Going to need the backing of the public to be a player at the Oscars

And that's even if Hollywood is ready to accept Mel again.

Andrew and Vince both look they smelled something awful. And that something being Gibson's fart.

Reading how gory the war scenes are is a warm reminder Mel will never change.

I'd laugh so hard if Mel's film got some Oscar nods while Nate Parker's is rightfully ignored.

If anything, the positive reception to this film will help solidify Garfield's nomination for Silence.

I have a feeling this can break out, especially with the faith based audience. Will depend on the final marketing push but I think it can do 30-40M OW if marketed well and if they sell it to faith based audiences well.
