Chapter 660 Boring Superman
In the dark, Todd McCarthy, who contributed to "The Hollywood Reporter", walked out of the Kodak Theater and kept rubbing his forehead with his hands. The movie I just watched was simply the worst film in this summer so far. This movie is even worse than "Transformers" released on the Independence Day last year.
Walking towards the gate of Kodak Theater, Todd McCarthy's ears were filled with the voices of the surrounding movie fans.
"Matthew is so handsome when he flies. He really deserves to play Superman!"
"It's still Matthew's bastard Superman looks interesting, and the orthodox Superman is too rigid."
"It's very interesting. Matthew and Charlize Theron fought in a dim manner. This battle is worth the price."
"The special effects are so excellent, there are stars and special effects, and such a movie looks so cool!"
Listening to these words, Todd McCarthy shook his head. Nowadays, the audience is too easy to deceive and don’t understand what a good movie is. Is this a broken movie that uses stars and special effects as the selling point and even the plot is difficult to justify itself? Is it worth discussing?
Nowadays, the tastes have become too strange. Excellent, calm, slow plot, and movies with dramatic tension are no longer popular. Films like "Iron Man", "Transformers" and "Superman Hancock" can be sold at the box office...
Abuse of stunts and commercial stars will make the experience in the theater and the movie itself lose the price.
He speeds up his pace, breaks away from the fan group, and continues to stay surrounded by that group, and will definitely be infected by the vulgarity and stupidity of those people.
After picking up the car and driving home, Todd McCarthy couldn't wait to turn on the computer and prepare for a sharp film review.
His reviews will inevitably be earned by Rotten Tomatoes, so regardless of the rest, throw a Rotten Tomatoes to this movie "Superman Hancock".
"The Man of the People Hancock" is terrible: the story is cliché, the shape is messy, the performance is rigid, and the stunts are abused!"
"There are so many superheroes active on the big screen, Superman who goes all the way to heaven and earth, Batman in black, Spider-Man who jumps and jumps, X-Men who joins gangs... Compared to these heroes, "The All-Man Hancock" released tonight performed poorly: Superman looks sloppy, has a irritable personality, and superpowers are nothing more than old-fashioned replays, and the plot is inconsistent... It's so bad that people can't help but ask: Do the audience really need such a boring Superman?"
"This movie has a god-like beginning and a mortal end. Hancock's story seems to have watched two kinds of games: basketball players fight on the football field."
"No one is interested in watching this movie for the second time. At the beginning, Hancock's alternative image of saving the city was created. After 2 minutes, it basically had nothing to do with the savior. The love triangle with Supergirl made the movie fall into Supergirl's love and I almost thought it was a love story..."
Having written this, Todd McCarthy was too lazy to continue and gave a two-star ultra-low score.
At the same time, Charles Rowan had just left the Kodak Theater. When watching the movie, he was basically not focusing on the movie, but was considering the matter of "Green Lantern".
A word from Matthew joked on the other day reminded him that after discussing with Kevin Teshura, he convened a meeting with Warner Bros. and many people from the DC Comics Film Department and Creative Department, and conducted targeted research and market research. He found that at a time when the social situation is rapidly developing and changing, using a black man as the male lead is indeed a very unique advantage.
For example, if someone dares to criticize the film at will, a big hat of "racial discrimination" will be put on...
The video can completely make some articles on racial conflicts and freedom and equality, and the media and the public are now very fond of this.
As for the audience loss that black protagonists may bring, a black movie star who is very popular among the vast majority of white audiences can be solved.
The only problem is that there are too few black movie stars who have box office appeal and can also like white audiences. Looking at the whole of Hollywood, there is actually only Will Smith.
Warner Bros. has had some preliminary contact with Will Smith. Will Smith's status is much worse than that of Matthew, and he is not so repulsive to superhero movies. If he is willing to take on this role, then the script will be appropriately modified according to his characteristics...
A black Green Lantern may be restricted, but Will Smith's Green Lantern will probably be very popular.
After the press conference was over, Matthew walked out of the press room, met Nina Dubov who was waiting in the theater vestibule and took a car back to Beverly Hills.
On the way back, his mind was not on Nina Dubov next to him, but instead he was considering Charles Rowan's words, Warner Bros. was considering the Black Green Lantern?
Let's go and find someone to find out if Warner Bros. has contacted Will Smith...
Based on his ideas, black male protagonists are generally not particularly popular among audiences composed of white people, but Will Smith is an exception. Many commercial films he starred in have been very popular among white audiences in the 1990s and the new century.
In addition, due to his appearance, Will Smith is very popular, but far from being a superstar. He has also faced a shortage of roles in the past two years. A top-notch production with a production budget of US$250,000 should be very attractive to him.
The most critical part of this matter is whether Warner Bros. and DC Comics want to invite Will Smith as the leading actor.
Unfortunately, he is not suitable to come forward again.
Seeing Matthew was in a daze, Nina Dubov couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are you thinking?"
Matthew came to his senses and smiled, "I was wondering, have you prepared a new move?"
"Of course." Nina Dubov said, "I took the time to review free gymnastics recently, and you can try it later."
"Oh...I can't wait." Matthew made a somewhat exaggerated voice on purpose.
Then, he and Nina Dubov both laughed happily.
The Mercedes-Benz car turned into the gate of Horner Manor, and a crazy night had just begun.
This Independence Day weekend kicked off. Among the films released this weekend with "Superman Hancock", the only large-scale films that were released "Kate Kitrich: The Secret of an American Girl". This film is starred by Will Smith's daughter Vero Smith, and it cannot threaten "Superman Hancock".
The only one who can truly compete with "Superman Hancock" during the Independence Day schedule is Pixar Studio's "Robot Walli".
The animated feature film was released last week, and the Independence Day holiday is just around the corner.
The competition between the two sides was decided on the first day of the mass release of "Superman Hancock". With the advantage of the first week's release and Matthew's huge box office appeal, "Superman Hancock" easily surpassed "Robot Walli" that day.
"The All-Man Hancock" started to land in 36 theaters in North America that were screened in advance at 7 p.m. on Thursday, but it received good comments from the site that night.
Chapter completed!
