Saw it three days ago. Terrible. Was clear it was gonna fail hard.

Seeing this in about 90 minutes with some friends. I'm not expecting much but they all love the first one.

What a mess.  I wonder what Universal is thinking about their Invisible man movie.

[DAJK]

Wasn't very good. The first was decent at least, not this one.

I respectfully disagree. The first one was bland and boring. This one is the exact opposite of that.

Yeah I'll agree that the first was bland. But it was more or less pretty cohesive and I found it generally entertaining. This one had a script that had some good moments but was just plain messy altogether.

 

Also, none of the action was really exciting. The film's climax didnt feel all that climactic, and the effects didn't impress me. The best way I can describe the look of this movie is a selfie of some sixteen year old girl on Instagram that has been airbrushed to death. It looks pretty and a lot of work has gone into it, but it also looks suuuper fake.

Alice will have made over 100 million WW by Monday. Overseas may save a large write off by Disney.

 

Going to see it tomorrow with a group of Depp fans. No 3D!!

I beg to differ. To each his/her own I guess. I thought the effects were fine. The only reason it looks fake is because a large percentage of the film of the amount had blue screens or green screens/ CGI , etc, that was used in it.

Yea for sure. I don't disagree with anything you're saying, because for me when I dislike a film, there's 2 "ways"

1. This movie is actually terrible and I don't like it

2. I didn't really find the movie all that enjoyable, but it's easy to see why others would enjoy it.

This falls into the latter category. Something like Hitman or Taken 3 fall into the former.

Yeah, It's usually the same for me when I see a film I disliked. This movie wasn't one that I didn't like though.

Final predicts:

 

DOM: 70M

WW: 231M

You know, most people I've talked to who saw it said...eh, it was alright.

 

I don't think it bombing is really about its quality.  There's other factors at play here.  Depp and, nobody really wanted this.

Depp isn't something that effected this films box office revenue. What did effect its box office revenue was the bad reviews. People pay way too much attention to movie reviews. I bet that 90% to 95% of the people that won't see or haven't seen this movie, is because they believe its bad reviews that it doesn't really deserve. It is better a movie then its being given credit for.

I don't get how people listen to critics sometimes.

 

"I loved that movie but the critics hated it, that's because critics have no idea that they're talking about"

"I'm not seeing that movie because critics gave it bad reviews"

Im...going to disagree.

 

Im not sure I understand what's up...but I have a feeling Depp is kinda toxic to box office.  Like...I think some people are not watching movies simply cause he's in it.  He can beat it...but...I think it's real.

 

So...not agreeing.  I don't think it's just the movie.
