Who cares? It sucks. Maybe or maybe not as hard as JW and JP3, as they seem to be in a sucking contest. 

 

Look, I have 15 years of pent-up rage against JP3. If I have the opportunity to rag on it, I'm going to take it.

Valerian will make $300m

there's like a few throwaway lines about how cynical the movie is just to help appease as a nod to the insecure "i hate franchises!!" weirdos who actually don't hate franchises and to trick 'em into having takes like this. if it was actually a good critique there'd be for real narratively subversive elements, which there aren't. it says those franchises are lame, but it's like a jealous schoolboy that wants to be them really.

 

The movie isn't shitting on franchises, its simply saying audiences always want something "bigger and better" than the last even if its stupid.

 

I hope there are fully trained military raptors in the next one.

Well in my case the numbers are why I'm discussing this stuff. It's a huge number, don't get me wrong. That said I don't like Disney's strategy of copy/paste with these live action remakes and I am not ecstatic they're doing so well.

THAT would be a great and fitting discussion...

I know @Chewy has already said his piece about Iron Fist being a locked flop because it starred a Game of Thrones castoff, but he neglected to mention that it actually stars two Game of Throners.

 

Fist's sidekick is one of the Sand Snakes.

I didn't care for Lincoln... 

 

Wasn't just you who replied though and didn't include it though. And @franfar only mentioned the criteria of "thought-provoking", and Lincoln is top-notch in that department, however else one may feel about it.

Well, Tele liked both of them, soo... .

 

Godzilla I can see liking, but Ghostbusters? Really? Talk about a movie you'd actually need to apologize for dragging someone to.

It's a brilliant dream.  I log onto BOT.  I await the numbers, so I sit there.  My body is ready.  Then...DEADLINE!  They have Valerian's Thursday night numbers at an extraordinary 70M.  It only goes up from there.  Its true Friday number is 220M.  Its Saturday number is 300M.  Its Sunday number is 290M.  A weekend of 880M.  Marvelous.  Then it nails a 4x multiplier.  3.5B domestic.

 

Dunkirk opens with 15M and finishes with 35M.

I'm tempted to make some jokes here but talking about Ghostbusters 2016 is opening Pandora's box.

I liked Godzilla, and though Ghostbusters was okay. Pacific Rim is great too

I'd feel a lot better about it if it was still called Pacific Rim: Maelstrom.
