I knew looooooooong time ago that this was a giant turkey. Shitty trailers, an actor who has no drawing power whatsoever, confusing convoluted storyline, most of the actors looking bored and not giving their best performance, a director who graduated too soon from an indie to big film and that too a fox film!!!! No mentor like Spielberg or fanboy/filmmaker friendly studio like WB/legendary/disney to help you fix the shit aka Gareth Edward's Godzilla and rogue one.

Disaster.

Bombs away.

 

Lol these doom and gloom conclusions are severely premature

I honestly don't know why top-notch talent keeps being drawn to video game movies. Good luck with Tomb Raider, Alicia Vikander.

That's going to meet similar fate. I only feel bad for the filmmaker for that movie. Guy should bail on the project while he can. Go back to Norway and make more awesome films. Eventually, he will get something decent to make in Hollywood at his terms.

When a movie is embargoed until right before it opens, it always means the worst.

[WrathOfHan]

Fox did the same thing with FANT4STIC.

So negative but positive because the review is a fan of the games. That's encouraging.

If I'm not mistaken, was not Ghostbusters embargo the day before? That film also garnered positive reception from critics despite the negativity aimed at its direction.   We all know there's a certain level of disdain for video game movies too

He only gave it a positive score because he's a fan of the franchise. If you actually read the review, you'd see he was pretty critical about the movie.

Ghostbusters's embargo lifted the Sunday before release.

The embargo for Ghostbusters ended almost a week before release.

He commended it for its direction. The reviewer appeals more to the perspective of a film goer

Yet he also criticized the direction in smaller scenes.

Embargoes have no bearing on the quality of the film, wether it's one week or two or three days out.

And the "good VGM" struggle continues...

When they're this close to release (the same day early showings will start), yeah, they do.

The "boring dialogue" in Kurzel's direction I suppose? That might be a matter of taste, since even the review mentions that pattern in the director's portfolio of films.
