Interestingly, I hated the casting change same as I do with Ghostbusters and Tom Hardy is a man, so..,

sex isn't the issue, it's replacing cast with less talent.

are trolls going to kill Ghostbusters? lobogotti May 19, 19:53

Are ghosts going to kill Trolls? diamondman56 May 19, 19:54

Are the dwindling number of people going out to the movies going to kill movie theaters? fricnfractal May 19, 20:37

I ain't fraid of no trolls!!!...I am going to buy a ticket just to see whats all the hate about??? {nm} Bleachigo May 19, 21:04

The negative buzz for the Jem & the Holograms reboot was just as bad and it did kill the movie drakkar May 19, 23:38

Mainstream moviegoing audience =! Twitter trolls. UConnHusky May 19, 23:53

I've hated it since I saw that first set pic. The uniforms make them look like janitors. Nothing I've seen since has changed my mind. {nm} hyperzeitgeist May 20, 01:26

Watch Midnight's Edge videos on youtube... if even half of what they reported is true then it's going to be horrible! Plus Baron_Darcon May 20, 03:55

Thanks for the heads up Baron. Those videos offer a more plausible explanation than the tired old 'sexism' meme. {nm} hyperzeitgeist May 20, 04:28

Here's the 3 analysis of GGB. They have screenshots in the video showing the emails, and leaks so you can read for yourself what Baron_Darcon May 20, 05:10

thanks for these {nm} lobogotti May 20, 05:27

The 4chan post says that the studio doesn't want to "play the feminism/misogyny card" because they think it was a factor in MMAX4's RogerMore May 20, 05:38

MMAX4 failing is Max was a blood bag, then muzzled, then forgettable,the action so overthetops it was sad. {nm} Baron_Darcon May 20, 07:37

Sony thinks differently, and they study audience reactions to movies. {nm} RogerMore May 20, 07:45

thats a personal opinion not the studio's. The issue with saying the outrage for ghostbusters is quality/remake related is that it doesnt Moviesnob May 20, 09:20

Maybe it's indicative of how many factors worse this is than the average bad quality (wannabe) franchise film. {nm} hyperzeitgeist May 20, 09:41

...as a matter of interest, what is your opinion of the Midnight's Edge analysis? If it's only half true it does sound like a train wreck. {nm} hyperzeitgeist May 20, 09:44

but that doesn't effectively explain the scale (it equates to the level of quality). You would have to show why the trailers are worse than Moviesnob May 20, 09:52

I've got friends at Sony. I know what they think of the movie. I think the delay on releasing the trailer speaks volumes about their Moviesnob May 20, 09:56

Oh look, square one again {nm} RogerMore May 20, 09:50

Just to expand on the snark, which I admit isn't helpful... RogerMore May 20, 11:45

i see movies 20x worse than FF every week. Granted they arent studio films, but they do exist and they are something {nm} Moviesnob May 20, 13:03

how was it not a mad max movie? You are aware Miller made all 4 films & the last one got the best reception critically & won several oscars {nm} Moviesnob May 20, 09:26

Citical reception rarely equates to box office. The movies that compete for the Oscar race are often lower grossing, ... Baron_Darcon May 20, 20:31

I loved the movie, but I think the studio overestimated how popular Max is... tealfan May 20, 10:32

The movie isn't going to do what Sony hopes regardless of its quality Used2BeTwitterFamous May 20, 09:44
