Valerian's opening indicates a limit to the narrative that audiences want "bright, joyful, colorful" blockbusters. There wasn't much of a real hook if you didn't know the backstory of the project. To the GA it just looked like a generic space adventure; regardless of how much of a labor of love it was for Luc Besson. Audiences can handle dark and grim as long as it feels right for the material, and I think Dunkirk pulled that off better than War/Apes did.

From the DCEU films that brought us Wonder Woman, Harley Quinn, Lois Lane, Faora and Amanda Waller. Cara D's character ranks near the bottom.

Cara D should just stick to modeling.

Harley was unwatchable. Don't even know who the in hell Faora or Waller are... Adams is likeable as Lane. Gadot did well with Wondy.

RT never changed the consensus on Valerian. They had it when it was 70%+ with less than 20 reviews and now with 130 reviews when it's on 55%, it says the same things. They went premature with it.

Faora is the kick ass baddie from MOS.

Insomnia? Following?

My theory was never about audiences seeing any & everything that looked light and fun. Valerian looks like the weird French movie that it is. Valerian had so many issues that all the light heartedness in the world wasn't going to save it at the box office. And I'm sorry but you need a Chris Pratt or a Chris Pine or any charismatic actor to lead your space adventure. You don't hire the weird dramatic emo kid.

NOLAN RRRRRANKED:

 

Inception A+ (who cares if it ripped off Paprika, it's a masterpiece imo)

Memento A+

The Dark Knight A+

The Prestige A

Batman Begins A-

Interstellar A-/B+

Insomnia B+

Following B

The Dark Knight Rises C+/C

 

Haven't seen Dunkirk yet, but given his track record, I would be shocked if it were anything less than a B- for me.

Ah, yeah. She was great. One of my favorite things in that movie along with Michael Shannon.

Honestly, GT trailer looks like a shitty garbage. So, high RT score is really surprise for me.

It's an expectations game and a current market game...

 

Trailer is okay and movie wildly exceeds the trailer quality - A+.

All other 2016 summer comedies have been average to bad and this movie is finally really good - A+.

 

Released at another time, maybe it's an A-/A...but timing and circumstances matter:)...

[Brainbug]

01. The Dark Knight 10/10
02. Inception 9/10
03. The Prestige 8/10
04. Batman Begins 8/10
05. Memento 8/10
06. The Dark Knight Rises 8/10
07. Interstellar 7/10 or 8/10 depending on my mood
08. Insomnia 7/10
09. Following 7/10

 

Dunkirk will probably settle for #3 or #2. Im a sucker for war films but i dont think it will beat TDK for me. That is just such an unbelievable Masterpiece.

Go see it fast, it won't last in Portuguese theaters... Baywatch might be crushing it.

It's his first feature. Worth a look.

[JohnnyGossamer]

Not ranking Nolan's stuff. People will just get angry with me. I will say that like Memento, Insomnia and Prestige a whole hell of a lot. The other stuff all ranges in the B- to C- range.

[Mojoguy]

Harley was unwatchable. Don't even know who the in hell Faora or Waller are... Adams is likeable as Lane. Gadot did well with Wondy.

Waller was played by Viola Davis in Suicide Squad.

[Cochofles]

Why are we so sure that Dunkirk  will leg it out to a 3 multiplier?

You do realize that I'm pretty much impossibilitated to go see anything in the theater all Summer long? I'm stuck in my fucking isolated desert of a town, and the only theater near me is in Spain where they translate everything and it's annoying as shit.

Cher too. 

 

Silkwood was a hit and got her an Oscar nom. 

 

Mask was a hit. 

Witches of Eastwick was a hit. 

Moonstruck was a huge hit and won her the Oscar.
