Punkin Spunkin posted:it wasn't the Mona Lisa, but if you like stuff like Crank and Gamer, you'll have fun with HH This sums it up well. My biggest complaint is just how ugly the movie was. Punkin Spunkin posted:I liked the oddly accented randomly telekinetic bad man and appreciated the world record for Most Sharlto Copleys in a Movie. Also agree with this completely.

I'll say I was being a little overly harsh for the sake of trying to be funny, but Hardcore Henry is a really loving bad movie. Russian Tommy Wiseau and Sharlto Copley are just about all it has going for it; the choreography is mostly flat and uninspired, the visuals are serviceable at best, the script was threadbare even compared to poo poo like The Raid, and honestly I just ended up kind of checking out by the halfway point. It's honestly kinda astounding that I made it to the end. If you wanna see a good successor to stuff like Crank and Gamer, go watch Officer Downe on Netflix. It rules.

I was expecting it to, but then I remembered that Cara Delevingne is extremely famous and may be able to carry it. It's definitely a huge risk.

Yep, among young women she's a huge draw. Consider that she basically had zero films but managed to show up in a major role in Suicide Squad. Forty Million Instagram followers. More than Drake or 9gag. 31th most popular. She's a big deal. Just not amongst goons obviously. well why not fucked around with this message at 20:07 on Apr 6, 2017 |

Suicide Squad was good exposure for Cara Delevingne even if her character had only like one good scene before she became a dancing zombiemancer. Her acting in the Valerian trailer was miles ahead of anything in SS. It looks fun as crap but seems like the type of film that no one properly loves until it is on video and too late.

well why not posted:Yep, among young women she's a huge draw. Consider that she basically had zero films but managed to show up in a major role in Suicide Squad. Cara Delevigne is lovely but she will have a negligible effect on the box office of this movie. Her instagram followers won't bother to see her in a sci fi movie when they can just look at her instagram. Stars these days don't carry movies, the IP does. Marvel, Star Wars etc. Beauty and the Beast wasn't a success because of Emma Watson. Ghost in the Shell, another sci fi like thing flopped with an actual movie star. The only stars that can carry a movie these days are the very few old standards worlds apart from Cara. Basically, if the young women demo aren't interested in Valerian they aren't going to see it because Cara is in it.

Gonz posted:Yeah, The Fifth Element cost 90 mil and made almost 300 mil. And it had legs after the fact so in the end it did pretty well. Though I am expecting Valarian to be about the same as Fifth Element: great visual design and absolutely terrible everything else. That would match the original comics pretty well. I will also predict that even though it will be a lovely movie, it will be defended by nerds on the Internet for years.

FilthyImp posted:Harriett (that was the wife right) was the elevator operator in Cousin Larry's building. Wasn't the whole TGIF lineup a shared universe? I wonder if Disney will try to mine that one for team-up movies when Marvel finally burns itself out. It's kind of funny these days to imagine a successful and popular Friday night TV lineup.

I anticipate it'll do much better than Jupiter Ascending but probably won't be hugely profitable. I don't think Valerian 2 will be greenlit but I doubt there'll be articles decrying it as a sign of Hollywood's inevitable downfall. It'll probably be about as successful as Lucy but it has a much, much higher budget.
