Alice in Wonderland 2

[Octoberist]

Hopefully the effects on Tweddle Dee and Dum will be better. I've never seen such unpolished CGI characters in a mainstream film in a long time..

 

[Victarion]

My only problem with the first Alice was the Chosen One schtick. Exploring what happens when the Chosen One goes their own way rather than that of the Prophecy seems like a good fit for both Burton and Wonderland.

 

[AnneFan]

Anne Hathaway was the only one I liked in Alice in Wonderland.

So, with her coming back for the sequel, I might give this a chance.

I liked how she floated around. t:

It's not going to be much of a contest. Apocalypse is going to crush this like a grape.

 

[Lord]

Depends though, the last film made a ton, though it was mostly due to the 3D craze since Avatar, this is the type of film a lot of girls will be interested in seeing, similar to Maleficent. Now, if the Director delivers an actualy good film this time, i'm sure it may give X-Men a run for its money.

Comic book films are the highest form of art, certainly higher than early twentieth century fairy tales, so I can't see this movie beating X-Men.

I know you're joking, but i found Tim Burton's Alice realy weak, the original story had the potential in this day and technology, the problem is that they gave the story a central plot, and one of the most generic at that, along with a nightmarish overuse of CGI without enough treatment.

X-Men: Days of the Future Past on the other hand may have had some cliches due to the nature of its storyline, but they delivered a realy good film, and i'm hopeful Apocalypse will only improve from that.

That said, anything can be taken and made into art, Alice is one of those stories that can be done quite easily nowadays and turned into that, superhero films can also have artistic merit if well executed enough, while Burton's Batman films are full of problems, i think they're very worthwile film, with Batman Returns achieving the more fairy tale kind of element better than Alice in my opinion. From their design to effort, i think they had a lot of merit.

Either way, superhero films seem to be improving more and more right now, hopefuly we'll see more summers like this:

I don't know about that.

Maleficent (which opened 1 week later to DOFP and didn't have a bigger opening weekends numbers compare to DOFP's ow numbers) already outgrossed DOFP. And it might also outgross DOFP worldwide. It bugs me that it happened but it happened.

 

[sueb1863]

Well, true, but DoFP was still massively popular, and I think the X Men franchise is stronger now than it used to be. They picked up a lot of good will from the quality of DoFP, and it's got strong leads in McAvoy and Fassbender. Evan Peters' Quicksillver was also a fan hit, and he's in the sequel.

The first Alice movie was a hit mostly because of Depp, but he isn't the draw he used to be. People are getting tired of his weirdo schtick and it doesn't get much weirder than the Mad Hatter, so we'll see if audiences want a movie that's most likely going to have a LOT of him in it.

If we se more summers like 4chan, I think I'll stop going to the movies.

 

[Lord]

You didn't like this summer?

 

[Octoberist]

You missed the joke.

 

[Lord]

I did, what was the joke?

 

[marvelrobbins]

I don't know about that.

Maleficent (which opened 1 week later to DOFP and didn't have a bigger opening weekends numbers compare to DOFP's ow numbers) already outgrossed DOFP. And it might also outgross DOFP worldwide. It bugs me that it happened but it happened.

Maleficent Is almost guranteed to outgross DOFP WW now with 500 Million
overseas.

People need to start getting as long as Fox makes X-Men films disney films are
competers of X-Men.

 

[dark_b]

Maleficent made 500 international? what is happening. disney and 3D is enough for a movie to make so much money?

 

[Lord]

With Oz it wasn't, it's all about the brand, Maleficent atracts a large female demographic.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

- A strong performance by Angelina Jolie (who is still quite a considerable draw).
- A short run time, with a simple, easy to understand story.
- A very well executed marketing campaign by Disney.
- There wasn't many broad family films this summer and Maleficent filled that hole nicely.

It's really no surprise that Maleficent did as well as it did.

[Marvolo]

Im excited for this!

 

[Sawyer]

Really hope this is better than the first. All things considered, I doubt it.

But I hope.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Those are pretty nice posters.

 

[Loki882]

Well I for one am looking forward to the further adventures of Alice of Arc and the Slightly Eccentric Hatter.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Really hope this is better than the first. All things considered, I doubt it.

But I hope.

Considering the director, I have hope.

 

[Majik1387]

Even with just the new posters, I can tell the sequel is going to be a lot lighter in terms of visual aesthetics.

 

[psylockolussus]

I'm only looking forward to watch Anna Hathaway in this film!
