Interesting helmer. So let's see how long it takes before he departs.

God, it's like Meg is rubbing off on people. ("I'll believe it when I see it.")Quoting Morris Schæffer (view post)
I don’t understand who this movie is for.
I don’t know a single person who saw the first one.
I saw the first one. It was alright. *shrug*
Ditto.Quoting TGM (view post)
I liked the first one.
But a sequel directed by Ben Wheatley is for me.
So I'll be very disappointed when he inevitably drops out.

I watched about 40 minutes and turned it off because it was so completely fucking boring.Quoting megladon8 (view post)
I no longer feel like I understand the business side --- the idea of making sequels to movies that bombed at home and barely made money overseas.
I also don't get Wheatley's participation. Why would a studio want him? He makes stupidly violent niche movies for a niche audience. I love him, but hiring him for a franchise makes no sense.
Pretty sure everything he's done has be "R"-rated and feels like a hard "R."
Heh, remember High Rise? That was fucked up.
No point to make, just yeah.
I thought it was an odd movie. Then I played the game it was based on.Quoting Irish (view post)
It was pretty damn good adaptation of the material. *raises eyebrow*
No longer Wheatley. It's Misha Green.

I watched that TR reboot. Forgot most of it except some shit with her dad in a cave and a waterfall?

I liked the reboot as it was pretty consistent with the game it was based on. Vikander was good as well, though frankly it could be improved upon.
I agree. A lot of the movie is silly, but thats how the game was, so fair play!Quoting Zac Efron (view post)
I'd go with bland over silly. And I personally don't subscribe to the idea that because a game is silly, then a movie based on it has to be silly also. But then I don't think the games are silly either. Plenty of genuine goosebump material during the TR games I have played. But some levity is always nice. The granddaddy of them all, Raiders of the Lost Ark, has those too.

I wouldn’t call new Tomb Raider media silly or bland- the Jolie TR films are a different story.
I just bought The Last Revelation for PS1 to replay- that’s probably my favorite Tomb Raider game.
IIRC the original Tomb Raiders is D_Davis' all time favorite game.

Seems Netflix is going to release a TR anime. Which reminds me I still need to get to castlevania.
