alexgross.com Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 a few reviews i saw imply that this movie is so bad, it's great, kind of like tommy wiseau's cult classic THE ROOM. is this at all true, for those who've seen it? obviously it cannot be bad in quite the same way since it's done with an enormous budget and a cast of real actors. but it's said that dakota's performance is only slightly better than tommy's, as is her effort level.

NewWorldOrder Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 (edited) I haven't seen, and doubtful I ever will. My friend said that he went to go see it and walked out of the movie after 20 minutes Edited February 24 by NewWorldOrder Larryw7, Bosco685 and aardvark88 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewWorldOrder Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Curious of what some of you would think about this one. I completely agree with Chris Gore. What say some of you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously this is the only superhero movie thus far that I won't even try and watch. I actually attempted The Marvels and even watched Eternals all the way through, but this dumpster fire of a movie won't even get a "bored Sunday with nothing else to do" viewing.

Gatsby77 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I don't think I ever finished New Mutants... Was extraordinarily stoked for that one based on the trailer, but by the time I finally tried to watch it via streaming years later, it just wasn't worth the time to complete. At least Jonah Hex and Ghost Rider (1 and 2) were all in the "so bad they're good" categories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodey Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I watched it over the weekend. Ooof. Such a pointless story. The acting is horrible. The bad guy is dull. Yet, my wife liked it better than The Eternals (she did have 3 drinks before going in) Bosco685 and PopKulture 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 Even the stars are mocking the film now. Hopefully a Sony executive or two catches the heat for destroying an opportunity to right-size the live films ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venom was a standalone film with potential leading towards a Spider-Man matchup. How'd it do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Spider-Man movie. That's it. Nah. It is more than possible to make a decent, or even great, film using any character. Provided you have a good story to tell. The problem with the Sony Spider-U-Verse is that they have put the horse before the cart. Which is to say, someone went "Hey! Spider-Man is popular. We have the rights to all these Spider-Man adjacent characters. We need to go make a movies out of all of them and just wait for the cash to come rolling in!" And then Venom happened and it was a big hit and thus they determined that this strategy was obviously correct. So we got Morbius. And Madam Web. And soon-to-come Kraven the Hunter. With no one actually giving a **** about the story (or, if I'm being generous, only giving the barest of *****. Someone probably cared, but didn't have the ability to make it good on the schedule the studio pre-determined) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
