Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets | July 21, 2017 | FLOP OF THE YEAR

[MrGlass2]

Keep in mind that most critics are angry because they had to meet this new deadline, or haven't even seen the movie yet (and are pissed off).

 

So only the first three reviews are objective: 100%.

Geez, reading that Hollywood Reporter's review makes you think Besson stole that guy's girlfriend and fucked his cat....

I just really want a completely terrible film to come out this summer. There's been a lot of mediocrity but there's been nothing like the cinematic disasters Suicide Squad and Warcraft. 

 

I need a new Suicide Squad, and I need it to be this.

And even with those reviews Spider man made less money than Suicide  Squad in the opening weekend, it just show how Spider man has no big appeal in the domestic market these days.

 

Not even with  Iron man help.

That's a new one

Reviews don't seem good enough for a break out

Ah, the conspiracy theorists. They never fail to deliver.

I thought the emote was enough of an indication to show that @MrGlass2 was joking.

[That One Girl]

The reviews keep fluctuating right now with all of them that are being added.  It's going from 100%, to 75%, to 78%, etc.

 

I'll wait like 5 minutes before refreshing again.  Then we'll see.

[MrGlass2]

It looks like Besson has also taken Metacritic by surprise: no update there, or even a mention of Valerian...

Guerilla marketing at its finest.

In for the awesome visuals in 3D. Survived whatever the hell The Last Knight was doing with its story, no way this can be worse than that.

Because of you, I don't know what's a joke anymore when it comes to Valerian.

Anything over 75% ensures I see this in cinemas, if it falls below that I'm watching it at home.

You'll probably regret seeing it at home.  Every review says the 3D is a standout and it needs to be seen on a big screen.

From those I've read that don't like it or are mixed it doesn't read like the details are flying over their heads.  They seem to like the idea of a large wacky universe and enjoyed weird side characters (Rhianna, Hawke) Their biggest beef seem to be a lack of coherent plot, rotten dialogue and dull to terrible leads. 

 

Fair enough for those reviews who didn't like the leads but I felt the plot complaints were a bit exaggerated cause of the elements I mentioned.

 

Oh well it matters not, the reviews are what they are, mostly positive but not overwhelmingly so and the movie doesn't seem to be something that will go down well with the American audience, too bad, I hope OS does really well.

 

But in the end it seems to me like I'll get exactly what I want from this movie so all is good.

Even with that obviously sarcastic emote some people still thought you were being serious with this comment, weird. I guess sarcasm really is hard to convey over the internet.

He watched TF5 at home. In what was definitely a poor quality copy. I don't think he cares lol.

But Valerian is different.  IT'S SPECIAL.

[redfirebird2008]

Sensing a possible split between the nerd type critics and the more traditional film critics. Probably going to end up around 65% on RT. 

[Durden]

Despite amazing visuals VALERIAN turns out to be just another tedious sci-fi color-by-number. So many script woes. So little Ethan Hawke.

This movie seems anything but by the numbers.
