[John Marston]

Why Robert? Why?

[The Futurist]

Being the poster boy of what cool & hip filmmakers despise leave you with projects like this.

it s a curse.

He cannot do much about it.

His return to the MCU will happen sooner than planned.

I'll defend RDJ forever because he gave Disney/Marvel an ultimatum to give his Avengers co-stars a raise or he wasn't coming back when they wanted to give only him an obscenely big salary.  That's super respectable in my book.

 

One should also take into consideration that maybe he doesn't want to make cool&hip movies. I remember that he once said he actively avoided roles that could risk his slipping into the old habit. again, respectable choice. he has family so that's more important. 

 

I do agree he's returning to MCU sooner than expected.

I'm sure Antonio Banderas (and everyone who isn't RDJ, honestly) is happy that no one really knows he's in this so that no one can joke that this is his Norbit lol.

Critics put out the hit

Roller Coaster week for Universal, no doubt. 1917 is a hit and the favorite to win the BP Oscar on Monday, and now Doolittle seems a sure bet to be an unmitigated disaster.

Well I imagine he could always have made a :

 

 

movie instead of this one chasing the billion dollar. 

[Ezen Baklattan]

Well these reviews will dolittle to convince audiences on the fence.

It’s a Gotti reference dude. It means the film is bad.

[dudalb]

This is a film where the reviews are going to be a lot more entertaining then the film itself.

Weren't there reports that the director answered with "we'll figure it out in post" when asked about where the CGI animals were supposed to be during the making of this?  Think it's a no-brainer the inevitable "what went wrong behind the scenes" exposé is gonna be a lot more interesting than the actual movie.

The "We can fix it in post" attitude has been responsible for many a bomb.

There are some things...like a bad script...that you can't fix in post.

Will this get better reviews than Cats or worse? They’re battling right now. 

[dudalb]

Second time that an attempt to film the original Dr Doolittle stories has not ended well.

And the only thing the modestly successful Eddie Murphy films had in common with the novels is the name and the idea of someone being able to talk with animals.

I was hoping RDJ would use the muscle he got from Tony Stark to make some really good films and show why , in the 90's he was considered to be the best young actor in Hollywood and the Next De Niro,instead we get this.

I know one thing:THis film is going to lose a hell of a lot more money then Cats.

If it was a 100 Million dollar film it would be a run of the mill Hollywood bomb;but the 175 Million budget makes it a nuclear level Hollywood bomb.

[Ithil]

It will do little at the box office.

[Krissykins]

Will be interesting to see if the media cover this as much as they have Cats. 
 

So many people tweet about Cats that haven’t even seen it. We’ll see....
