The Electric State

OG movie stars were people you’d watch the movie purely because they were in it and it would do well financially because if that. That era has been fading for a long time - people will still watch a movie because an actor is in it, but it doesn’t guarantee success anymore

Will Smith in the 90s and Tom Hanks in the 90s/2000s had that sort of pull

They dont give top billing to the leads anymore. This is entirely manufactured by the studios to save money. It's not just audiences are tired of movie stars. I mean in some regards it totally is when it comes to celebs on social media cringing out. But if they just did their jobs as actors and then just shut the fuck up on social media, they could be respected again. Chris Pratt is smart and keeps away from that shit. Back in the day before everyone was required to have Internet and only endless sequels in the theater. Theater marquees listed who was in what. You bring your date with you on a Friday night. A bunch of movies listed with generic sounding names. You see something called The Predator and it has no meaning because it's among other films. But then it has, ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER in The Predator. You go. "Oh yeah!" "We're seeing this one!" Ahnold put asses in the seats and he commanded a premium paycheck. And he fucking deserved it. Studio heads weren't happy about it though.

Aethetics was great. MBB was okay. All the other actors sucked and are in WAY TOO MANY FUCKING MOVIES.

No real story, or at least nothing more than numb. I have no idea how they spent 320M on this.

A watch once and forget it 2 minutes later movie.

Soundtrack on this movie is fantastic.

I just finished reading the book and I take my original statement back.

This movie deserves ever bit of hate. It completely shit on the original source material in ways I never thought possible. It's actually disgusting when you compare the two.

Fucking THANK YOU

Finally got around to watching this.

Damn, $320 million budget, big name actors, Avengers movie producers, best CGI you can buy, and this is a big pile of shit.
