That was a surprisingly somewhat positive review.  "Surprising" because of the failure at the box office and I haven't heard much about this movie.  Still not going to see it in theatres but I'll give it a try once it hits TV.

 

***Didn't even realize what this movie was about until now

Looking forward to it.

Because it is not straightforward enough for general viewers. So unfortunately they are so use to that approach, something like would feel too complex.

A genie that comes out of a bottle to share his love interests throughout the centuries. They want Robin Williams. WHERE IS MY ROBIN WILLIAMS??!!

I'm not big on following the BO $$$ as well, but I saw that it got beaten by some anime (maybe Dragon Ball?) this weekend?  

You think the trailer looks good?  I thought it looked terrible and figured this to be a "paycheck movie" for him at best or a studio/contract obligation. 

Just finished watching Beast and you were correct. It was terrible. Locations were great but the story and scenarios were just bad. So disappointed as I love movies like Jaws, Ghost and the Darkness, Orca, The Edge etc.

Three Thousand Years of Longing was good and not your typical fantasy/romance story.

That probably threw general audiences off expecting something straightforward.
