BvS Lex Luthor Casting Thread - Part 3

[NoLaNitE007]

Brolin is not going to be apart of this franchise. He's a hot mess and Warners wouldn't do that to Diane Lane at this point.

I understand where your coming from and that makes total sense.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Hmmm...I sense the disappointment for some, but with SR there was just outrage. Here is seems like nitpicks that people didn't get everything they wanted or some particular aspect didn't meet their design. With SR there was more outrage and division of people into groups of lovers and haters. lol...those were days...lol.

I will agree that there was more conflict with SR but only because it was the first Superman film in 19 years.

 

[ЯɘvlveR]

Woop! Let's make banners and start chanting! t:

Joel Edgerton for Aquaman!

jeremy spoke in,
class today...

 

[shauner111]

Into Darkness was my favorite of this year. t:

Star Trek over 12 Years A Slave, Gravity, Place Beyond The Pines, Man Of Steel, Wolverine, Thor, Mud, Stoker, Prisoners, Only God Forgives???? Really?? Well...it was certainly better than Iron Man 3...but different strokes i guess! Id probably rank Star Trek on par with Pacific Rim but that's it.

 

[shauner111]

Oh and as for Edgerton-Aquaman?? Ive been saying that the past 2 years!

 

[TheFlamingCoco]

Sequels that come out 19 years later always get crap it seems.

Yeah, decades of unrealistic expectations combined with years of things waiting to go wrong kind of does that :P

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Funny enough I didn't have any expectations for Indy 4 or SR. I gave both films fair shots when I watched them and I just was just unimpressed unfortunately.

 

[NoLaNitE007]

I sense a metric ton of it. It's different than with SR because SR was the first Superman movie in 19 years so the disappointment was more pronounced. But the disappointment is there. I don't know how much I care because I loved the film but surely I wish more people had for their own sake not mine.

Personally Into Darkness was my biggest disappointment followed by Pacific Rim.

I actually thought STID was an overrated film also.

The production design and closeups and lens flares were just head ache inducing. It was also kind of a turn off how Paramount and Abrams tried they're best to hide that Cumber was actually Khan, when it was widely known that Khan was the villain. El Mayimbe even reported it and they stilll tried to hide it.

They execution of Khan was hit and miss for me. Cumber did a good job, but I would have liked to have seen a more rugged looking Khan instead of robot looking Khan.

They makeup on the actors seemed all over the place as well just like the narrative was all over the place. One seen Pines hair is blond and the other it looks orange....and Cumber looks human in one scene and then they powder him up so much to make him look like some vampire.

I also didn't like Orci, Kurtz and Abrams blatant plagiarism of WOK story of Spock dying and in this film reverse the roles with Kirk dying, using the exact dialogue from WOK in the "death scene".

Come on now!

Yep, that's what killed it for me. There's homage, and then there's just blatantly aping the sh** out of a better movie because you ran out of ideas. STID was the latter.

 

[StarLord]

He dropped out of Jurassic World because he just entered rehab.

Yeah, TMZ has a video of him throwing punches at a bouncer outside a bar from earlier this month.

It's sad, but I hope he can get over whatever it is that's messing his head up.

Star Trek into Darkness is the second worst movie I've seen this year, it's better than Thor 2 and nothing else.

It's completely lacking in any logical coherence whatsoever, and the narrative is extremely thin. It's just a dumb action movie. That would be ok if the action shots were good, but they are not. Man of Steel and Pacific Rim both had better action shots. The cinematography was also very mediocre -- at best. I'm not surprised given these writers.... Orci and Kurtzmann also wrote Transformers 2, and Lindelof did the re-write for Prometheus that ruined the movie. Also, I'm under-impressed with Abrams, and I don't expect great things for Star Wars VII.

I actually think STID would have been a better movie if they had removed Khan entirely, and focused on the Admiral Marcus storyline. That was a potentially great storyline and it made sense given the events of the first film, but instead of developing it coherently they cut it short, in order to have two villains in the movie.

Among Star Trek fans, STID is often considered the worst of the 12 Star Trek films, and I can sympathise. It makes no attempt to tell an actual story.

Yes. That is why it is overrated. You said it.

STID was just all over the place. An overrated film....big time.

You didn't have to mention MOS and TW. Well, I'm more of a blockbuster guy than I am a "film" guy. I haven't seen like half the movies you've listed lol.

Funny enough I didn't have any expectations for Indy 4 or SR. I gave both films fair shots when I watched them and I just was just unimpressed unfortunately.

SR was good. Indy 4 was better though IMO. Even though many movie fans hate both movies, they were actually well reviewed by critics. Indy 4 has the upper-hand though because the GA liked the movie too.

 

[regwec]

According to RT, 54% of the audience liked Indy 4. I don't that's a ringing endorsement, on their part.

According to the same source, 62% of the audience likes SR.

I don't claim that those stats are conclusive, but they do seem suggestive of an incorrect assumption on your part.

My bad.

I was just using my friends for my example lol. None of them liked SR while most of them liked Indy 4.

Ugggg what a disappointment. As a huge Del Toro fan. WTF, with that movie…
Just bad, fantastic moments visually but I had no idea the humor was going to be geared towards 10 year olds.

I say the same thing about Marvel Studio movies post-Avengers.

[Schlosser85]

El Mayimbe couldn't find his ass with both hands and his pathetic little followers to help him.

Billy Zane has a good look for Lex but he's not a very good actor, in Titanic or anything else.

I honestly don't have anybody who jumps out at me for Lex.

Good observations about why STID is an overrated Abrams film.

Wow. If that were actually true, that would've been quite the accomplishment.

Btw, RottenTomatoes is laughable as a credible source for the quality of movies.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Hey, how about...

 

[Rodrigo90]

Jolee Bindo?

 

[regwec]

Btw, RottenTomatoes is laughable as a credible source for the quality of movies.

By the structure of that sentence, you seem to be claiming that, being "a credible source for the quality of movies," RT is laughable. Why so?

If, however, you meant that RT in not a "credible source for the quality of movies," then what is? RT merely records what critics said about movies, and allows site visitors to add their thoughts. It doesn't claim to do anything else.

What exactly are you looking for?
