Bad actor even before transition and very small even when they where female so kind of odd to be a soldier and when people thought he was Achilles.
- Railcar8095@lemmy.worldEnglish1 month
In Troy (2004) Achilles effortless defeats a much larger and heavy warrior through seer skill. I’ve never anybody claiming that his size makes that scene bad or unrealistic.
I will hold my judgment until I see the movie.

It doesn’t matter, he already made his money from the faux outrage he and other right wing grifters successfully generated. Whether his predictions are accurate is irrelevant because he doesn’t have a reputation as a real film critic to uphold and the social media debate cycle is so fast nowadays that he can immediately pivot to a new “controversy” and start milking that.

It’ll do fine, it still won’t make it a good movie (nothing to do with that) it’ll be a typical Hollywood pander film, big visuals, little substance. Oppenheimer was praised for being a mediocre piece of crap.

I highly doubt that. I haven’t seen it yet but Nolan uses vfx in all his films. As he should, people who think “CGI always sucks” never know how much CGI is used that they don’t see.
And yet, $250 million budget for practical effects. Could have saved money on CGI, which is a bonkers thing to say.
Unless the movie is Star Wars or Avengers: Endgame or Avatar, nobody should be spending a quarter of a billion dollars on a movie. Dune 2’s budget was $190 million, for a sci-fi epic, with a proven audience. This is just a fantasy story.
Making the budget on debut is incredible lucky, but it might still be considered a “flop” because of the extra $200M or whatever of marketing budget.

Christopher Nolan is his own brand that has a proven audience. In a sense, Universal paid handsomely to poach him from Warner Brothers, and giving him big budgets is part of that deal.

Anytime I look up a forum thread of a movie I’m watching/wanting to watch (spoiler-free), at least half of the comments are “this movie was trash and you should feel bad for liking it.”
And the other half feel the need to justify why they liked it to the half that hated it for reasons they literally can’t put into words (if they do it’s always the most contrived/overused excuse in critiquing).
