POTUS 2020 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 ID1 was not constant action and could be considered "too slow". If this is similar it may not do well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. That's why the IMDB rating is dropping fast. Many of the asian moviegoers want constant action from this type of film. I think I know why fox cut 20-30 mins from the movie. It probably had more character development and some cool vfx shots, but not action scenes. That's why I said, it won't have legs anywhere.

I hope Hollywood realize that casting Asian Stars in cameo appearances is useless, especially Asian Stars with no acting ability or can't really speak english..

I think it might work if those roles weren't cameos, or those people are good actors. And I think Hollywood can't differentiate that. Eg: Jackie Chan, Jet Li in Hollywood films will work. And I would say Jiang Wen and Donnie Yen in Rogue One, their characters seem pretty important... will work. But not Jay Chou's 5min cameo in NYSM2 or Angelababy's 20min yet unimportant role in ID2.... Some actors just seems like a natural fit, while others seems so forced. I think the issue is that many Chinese feels that Hollywood is pushing too hard to earn their money, and its backfiring. So many people are hoping these 2 film flops so Hollywood will stop using such techniques to trick them of their money. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
