I watched the movie first, dismissed my misgivings as having not seen the TV series. Then later I binged the series and movie together on blue laser and was annoyed that not only the same frustrations persisted, some things were even worse! The series and the movie don't really bridge together seamlessly, rather it feels like the movie just starts out doing its own thing. I'm amazed it's the same bloody writer/director.

Quintus 5,399 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 2 hours ago, Jay said: Well it has no fantasy, sci-fi, or romance aspects at all. It's largely about a high school science who turns 50 and finds out that his wife is pregnant and that he has cancer. He gets worried about his family not having enough money so he ends up cooking crystal meth with a former student of his who is now in his 20s, and from there they get more and more into the criminal world as they need to find dealers to distribute it, then people higher up in the drug cartels want to being selling his meth because it's better than theirs, and things keep getting worse from there. And then there are side stories largely all about various criminals, but also about some people including his brother in law trying to bring the cartel members and our "heroes" to justice. It's a terrific show with amazing writing and many scenes of great tension and character development and interaction You actually went to the effort of typing this up unironically to Drax. I don't know whether to say bravo or to laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was a fine space adventure, but didn't like it so much that, had I watched it at the time instead of later on DVD, I would have given more than a shrug to the cancellation. The cry for a movie, and the ongoing rabid fanbase, I'll never understand. I thought the movie just kind of sucked - I recall it having a completely different, more cynical feel than the TV show, and can't give you more than that, because it's been years.

Holko 9,499 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 If we know studios well enough by now, they'll take away from the post budget of Kong to make it worse but minimise the loss on paper and in their dumb heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Plenty of times. I think Star Trek 6 had its budget slashed in half at one point in the production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 KOTM wasn't the only movie that underperformed this blockbuster season. Fortunately it did better than a few others. It's not a problem with the movie itself, rather it's an industry-wide problem with too many ultra expensive franchise flicks all crowded together and a crippling inability to compete with Disney behemoths.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 They like him, but they sort of snicker at the idea too; the concept struggles to get past memories of bad dubbing, rubber suits and Power Rangers style visuals. He doesn't have the x-Tremmmme attitude of a human hero that Americans crave, like Tony Stark, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
