I'm kind of sick of people laying the success of these movies at the feet of the "American audience". NEWS FLASH! Transformers Revenge of the Fallen made $423,209,446 in foreign box office alone, so obviously Americans aren't the only ones lining up to see these films....just sayin.
Relax people, although he's made some questionable choices when it comes to movie roles(Southland Tales, Edison) JT actually a decent actor his performances in "Alpha Dog" and "Black Snake Moan" where not bad. The only problem is that is celebrity would over power the role that he's playing which is probably why he wont get the gig.
Well of course it looks cool at this point Roland Emmerich should be an expert at finding cool ways to destroy the planet but considering he also wrote it I'm thinking there's about zero chance it could be good.
But then again why am I(and others) so willing to give Michael Bay a pass for cool looking movies with no substance while jumping all over Roland Emmerich for giving us the same thing? I guess I'm just a hypocrite.
Regardless of how good the movie is I need that poster for my wall.
Isn't Bruno more making fun of other people's biases then praying on stereotypes. And the character of Bruno isn't that more over the top then the character Jack McFarland on that awful NBC show "Will & Grace"(which was embraced by the gay community). If Sacha Baron Cohen was actually a gay man playing an overly the top stereotypical gay person would this even be an issue, how would that make it any more or less offensive. Also if Angelina Jolie can put on tanning makeup and get nominated for a Golden Globe and Robert Downy Jr can put on black face and get nominated for an Academy Award how is "Bruno" over the line.
There's no use complaining about remakes you just have to come to terms with the fact that they will remake a lot of movies some of which you love. And the remake doesn't erase the original film no ones forcing you to watch it even if everybody you know runs out on opening day.
Probably wont be as edgy as the original and the trailer looks a bit over dramatic but overall it looks better then I thought it would.
Normally I would agree with you but at the end of TDK Nolan clearly sets up the story for a squeal so you can't blame people for expecting one and you also can't blame them for wanting Nolan to shit or get off the pot. I don't think the 3rd films needs Nolan as a director to be good but if he's not gonna do it he should tell WB so they can start looking considering others.
The reason Wanted doesn't resemble the graphic novel is because Universal only bought the rights to the first issue in the comic series so not only did the screen writers they hired have no clue how Mark Millar's story ended, they weren't really sure what the next step was. I would love to see a faithful adaptation of the graphic novel but I guess it's hard to make a movie in which your main character rapes someone and it's presented as a good thing. lol
No reviews needed by now people know what they're getting themselves into, it's Michael Bay + giant fighting robots which means you will be marveling at the great action set pieces and openly laughing at the bad dialog, ether you're into that kind of thing or not. I know some people will argue how lowering your expectations for Michael Bay films is somehow wrong but if you walk into a movie and a logo for a toy company shows up on screen during the opening credits how can you take it as seriously as something like "Michael Clayton".
