Chaz Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 8 hours ago, excel1 said: I don't know where you all went to school, but the release MR was FAR from a pop culture moment (it made $57m total domestic, Mummy and Pearl both beat that in less than 3 days). The film did have outstanding staying power, not just at the box office but in general pop culture Without Baz's flare and the team up song, it would have been DOA. MR's long-term industry influence is felt much more strongly in the string of high profile musicals which were taken much more seriously in the years that followed. Joel Schumacher's attempts to w/ rip it off with PHANTOM OF THE OPERA a few years later w/ a hint of Zorro being the most obvious rip off attempt. Phantom didn’t have peak Christina Aguilera on the soundtrack HENNY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJG Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 They really want people under 75 to care about this movie - that loud Doja Cat song in that trailer is really something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 This could be big, but i don't really trust Baz. Gatsby was a success, box office wise, but this has no LEO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh,n Anarchostitic music is one of Luhrmann's standart techniques. Sometimes it works...Moulin Rouge...and sometimes it does nt....Great Gatsby. But you do know you just made the younger audience look like a bunch of morons, buy suggesitng they cannot be interested in any film set before they were born?

I fully trust Baz here; the story of Elvis plays to his strengths as a director........Gatsby did not, Yeah, it was a box office sucess becausew of DeCapio, but as an adaptation of the novel, it was a disaster.

excel1 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 The first trailer has one of the best closing 70 secondsisn of any trailer I have ever seen. The editing in this most recent is very strange but the footage itself looks great. Expecting a highly creative film about of the most famous entertainers in history during a period of national transformation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grebacio Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Prediction on reviews? I think it will get a divisive reception, some will love it, some will hate it and others will think it was fine. Thinking something like high 50s on metacritic, high 70s Rotten Tomatoes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
