He also wrapped filming on Now You See Me 3.
theres the real career killer. 2 was so awful, and youre going to make a 3rd??
I feel like you have to just because everyone knows the second film in a series sucks, but the 3rd one can sometimes be better than the first. Like with Die Hard. First one is good, second one is shit, 3rd is arguably the best in the series.
Same with back to the future, 1 was amazing, 3 is amazing, 2 was awful.
I hate being reminded that these movies exist. Wow, a film about fake magicians doing fake tricks with CGI, awesome.
At least make them real wizards, cowards.
I also weirdly hate these movies without actually properly watching them myself. The execution is just so stupid. I like the idea of it, illusionists robbing stuff. I was expecting it to be like Ocean’s Eleven where it convinces me that their plan is actually feasible, but none of the tricks make any sense whatsoever.
Maybe if he didn't just copy Ledger's Joker and behaved anything like Lex Luthor he'd have been better received.
Hollywood needs to wake up and let Billy Zane play Lex Luthor like he was always meant to.
Nah they really need Michael Cera
Or Mark Strong, even Stanley Tucci would be awesome
Danny De Vito
Joe Rogan?
Isn't Lex Luthor is supposed to be really smart?
I'd be fine with Luthor turning into a Justin Hammer type. Any of the "billionaire genius" types in comics, really.
Bald Jordan Peterson? You have to admit he'd be loathsome...
Zane would be amazing but I gotta say I would love to see a Stephen Tobolowsky Lex Luthor
Being one of the worst parts of an already horrible movie will do that.
It was a combo of not the right actor, the direction, and everything about it though. Especially the writers, director, and producers.
Reminds me of Ryan Reynolds in Green Lantern
I dunno, I still think Reynolds did a good job in the movie. The script was bad to meh, but he carried off Hal very well imo
Leonardo DiCaprio advice Timothy Chalemet was "No hard drugs and no superhero movies."
Dune isn't a super hero film. It's a space opera based on a series of Novels.
Super Hero films are typically based on comic book stories from the likes of Marvel / DC / Dark Horse.
Bro the dude has psychic powers, he's pretty close
Also when they assembled into a squad and said, "It's Dunin' time!"
riding sand worm
"Woah, Cowabunga!"
Dune as a 1980's action cartoon
Good observation. It made it clear that he’s a fucking stupid mook that can only play one needlessly verbose pretentious skinny dork character.
We’ll call you when we need a pretentious skinny dork, Jesse!
And if Michael Cera is too busy at the time.
I guess I’m the only one that liked this movie?
That's likely the case
If you can turn your brain fully off, like shut down, hold the power button ten seconds, wait for it to stop blinking, and unplug it from the wall, it can be a reasonably enjoyable dumb action ride.
What it sets out to do, it executes with a reasonable amount of technical prowess. There are scenes that are fun. Sometimes it’s nice to just watch shit explode or someone punch a car through a wall or whatever random thing happens. But it’s easy to lose the zen and find a million reasons to (rightly) hate the movie. I’m glad you like it. I generally enjoy it myself, when I’m in the right mood.
I think it still sucks as a turn your brain off movie.
There really isn't much action for, like, 80% of the movie. It's too busy trying to be smart and utterly failing, so either way that's a ton of boring unenjoyable talky stuff whether your brain is on or off.
“Wait did you say Martha??”
I mean, you’re right, but I guess I can enjoy the weird plot advancement and character posturing and sort of “buy in” on the movie’s world long enough to get by. I mean, I actually enjoyed Prometheus and The Last Jedi while I watched them at first, but once I left the theater and turned my brain back on, I got angry at how offensively stupid and disrespectful those movies are. I see BvS as just kinda inoffensively stupid and simple in comparison. I’d rather watch BvS 3 times over than either of those garbage fires.
I think he's a very good actor. This was a bad movie, and the part didn't suit him, and he played it bad. Only worst villan role was Paul Giamatti in Rock and Rolla making bugs bunny jokes. His roles need to stay within nerdy limits.
