The soulless cash grab wasn’t good?

A film that was routinely asked not to be made by fans is shit, suprise.

The Crow worked due to Brandon Lee, his father’s legacy, and being the 90s. It was a collection of events that made an instant cult classic film.

Brandon Lee was also a good actor, and had most of the good lines in the film.

Fans routinely asked that no one make a Blade Runner sequel too. Sometimes fans don’t know what they’re talking about.

I feel blade runner was good. The original was better but fans were excited for the second one.

Background: I only watched the original before watching the sequel.

IMO, the sequel is better.

I felt like it took everything good about the original and improved upon it.

My suspicion is that people who prefer the original are nostalgic for it.

I enjoyed the new Blade Runner, but it wasn’t anywhere nearly as good as the original. Also, big difference between a sequel and a reboot

BR2049 is shit. A mix of uninspired stuff, nice concept art and fan service, with a bad CGI Rachel.

I love Villeneuve’s work elsewhere, but there he really fucked up.

I completely disagree with it being shit, but your complaints still have some merit. I just think the end product overcomes those flaws by a mile.

Between this and Borderlands, movies being in production hell forever seems to usually be a bad sign. Now I’m getting worried about Blade…

Arcane was in production hell for like 6 years and according to the documentary on its making the story got scraped and rewritten at least once. Sometimes it works. Arcane is so good.

I mean yeah, they’ve already gone through 2 directors and it’s in limbo again. Not a good sign

And The Hobbit (respect to Del Toro for giving up before it was too late). And Justice League (even if, after Dawn of the Dead and 300, Snyder never did a good one again).

Blade? Did they bring Wesley Snipes back? Haven’t seen that guy since Expendables 2 and they did him dirty with the CGI Parkour.

No it’s someone called Mahershala Ali. With the sunglasses on he does actually look quite a lot like a young Wesley Snipes.

the last I heard of Blade was that it was going to be a cut-rate production and that “the story at one point morphed into a narrative led by women and filled with life lessons, with Blade relegated to the fourth lead” but that was apparently dropped? I don’t follow Disney/MCU like at all, but I came across this story and it stuck with me because it was kinda bizarre.

young Wesley Snipes

That’s incredibly generous. The guy’s already 50 years old. 15 years older than Snipes was in the original Blade!

I could have told them this before they started making it, and saved them the time. There is only one Crow, and his name was Brandon Lee.

It can’t rain all the time.

i mean i could have told them it was going to suck based on the trailer, but they don’t consult me. crow was a 90s edgelord-porn. it was only ever decent at best. to reboot it well would take some major deviations and much better writing. the trailer made it obvious it did none of that.

Lol edgelord-porn. You’ve given me new descriptors.

I couldn’t stand even the previews for it in the 90’s…it just looked awful.

i watched the original, and it was ok, but the fandom around it that i recall was similar to the people that took Joaquin Phoenix’s or Heth Ledger’s Joker portrayals a bit too seriously and idolized it a bit too hard.
