    Who the hell was playing that male love interest? He makes Taylor Lautner look like Daniel Day Lewis.

    I mean, it's weird because as much as people might think this is them dumping it into a more competitive frame, part of me thinks Fox might just be looking at the unprecedented legs that Greatest Showman had for them this past Christmas and naively hoping for the same fate. (Also, their best frame of reference is Avatar, which opened in the same spot..)
    Last 11 things I really enjoyed:

    Speed Racer (Wachowski/Wachowski, 2008)
    Safe (Haynes, 1995)
    South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (Parker, 1999)
    Beastie Boys Story (Jonze, 2020)
    Bad Trip (Sakurai, 2020)
    What's Up Doc? (Bogdanovich, 1972)
    Diva (Beineix, 1981)
    Delicatessen (Caro/Jeunet, 1991)
    The Hunger (Scott, 1983)
    Pineapple Express (Green, 2008)
    Chungking Express (Wong, 1994)

    If that's the case, it doesn't have a chance because the source material has neither the musical genre nor the "crowdpleasing" factor that The Greatest Showman had.

    I put crowdpleasing in quotes because it pleased the general public for whatever reason despite being utterly abysmal.

    I forgot this existed.

    I maintain that this is thinly veiled wanking material for otaku kids.

    That's a lot of competition for a tentpole from a source material no one knows about.

    Justice League didn't even make $100 million it's opening weekend. It may very well be Bumblebee that wins that weekend.

    Granted, I don't think this will really do much business, no matter where it's released.

    And Spider-Man the week before?

    AND a new Will Ferrell/John C. Reilly comedy?

    Haha.... This thing is going to do SO bad.

    Nice scale and style. If it didn't have the pedigree, you could almost mistake it for one of those wild, ridiculous productions that come out of China, complete with da-fuck-is-going-on special effects (tho better).

    I'm sure I'll see it, possibly in theaters.

    Doesn't "uncanny valley" require an attempt at realism? And I don't get "sex doll" at all.

    I gather that the general opinion seems to be great action hindered a bit by lame romance subplot.
    Midnight Run (1988) - 9
    The Smiling Lieutenant (1931) - 8.5
    The Adventures of Robinhood (1938) - 8
    Sisters (1973) - 6.5
    Shin Godzilla (2016) - 7.5
