Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Huge loss in cinema, big win when it get out in DVD. It make so little money that universal changed how they write movies after that

Tomorrowland (2015), it's a bit all over the place with pacing/story but still a really fun movie.

John Carter didn't deserve the hate it got. It wasn't a masterpiece, but it got done dirty.

Yeah I like the original Dune very much too. But it's not a masterpiece. Just an underrated flick full of great actors.
But I will say this: even if you think 1984 Dune was meh, go watch Villeneuve's version with the most unconvincing Paul Atreides in the history of unconvincing actors (Timothy Chalamet), the appalling Lady Jessica with zero expressions and zero acting skills (Rebecca Ferguson), and Oscar Isaac as Duke Leto who manages the incredible feat of being as shit in Dune as he was in Star Wars.
Then watch David Lynch's again: you'll enjoy it all the more.

yea, i saw the villenuve dune and wasn't nearly as impressed as i was with 2049. aside from your points that i agree with, jason momoa turns every character into a goofy knucklehead, which is expected, but i wasn't expecting to be let down by josh brolin who was awesome as cable and agent K. maybe i was just spoilt by patrick stewart's gurney halleck

@U7826391786239 @movies I actually liked the movie, but you have a point with Patrick Stewart.

i didn't mean to imply it was bad, just had some missteps i think. it's definitely leagues better than the sci fi channel miniseries whose "selling point" was william hurt as duke leto, who dies right away

This was indeed a fun film. That jet age futuristic asthetic.

The Star Wars Solo movie. They barely marketed for it, iirc, which is a shame, because I thought it was pretty good! And it set up stories that I’ll be bummed we don’t get to see play out. Plus Donald Glover as Lando was beautiful casting

Naaah, hard disagree. I saw it some time ago finally, it was bad. Not as terrible as the latest trilogy, mind you, but not much better either.

Yeah, I know a lot of people didn’t like it. I thought the sequel trilogy wasn’t very good, especially the third. I think it suffered a lot from changing directors. I would have liked to see a trilogy wholly directed by Rian Johnson

Edge of Tomorrow didn't do great when it was in theatres but turned into something of a 'cult classic' years later. I didn't know what to expect going in but enjoyed it quite a bit.

My kid and I argue about this. He hates it, but I think you gotta come at it like Han is telling the story. Not my favorite SW movie, but way better than a lot of the other filler we got. Its a fun movie told by an outrageous liar.
