Most Japanese people I know would like to see it, just not at release as it was a little too close to August 6th, which they thought was tasteless. Admittedly, most of the Japanese people I know live in Toronto now, not Japan.
I’ve only seen Frank Herbert’s Dune but I thought the new one was too quickly paced and consequently boring. It needed to be slowed down and allow the world of Dune to fully seep. There’s no chance that part two will fix this.
My friend, it lasts two and a half hours and barely covers the first third of the first book. If it were any slower it would just be hours of shots of a rock being eroded by wind.
I wouldn’t mind some ‘uncomfortably long’ shots of rocks or something after the more storyful scenes. Like a 20 minute segment with no dialogue. We don’t get enough of that.
Would go great in a spiritual scifi whose protagonist is a planet.
Really? I mean it basically hit only half the story beats that Frank Herbert’s Dune did, and it was longer.
Most people I know who complained about it complained about it being too slow at times and consequently boring. Not too fast. I personally thought it was fantastic, and I’m really looking forward to the second part.
Who cares? Does he think it can be saved? Like how? Is he going to cut out all the silly useless for the plot stuff? Or is he going to make it longer and worse?
No, no, no, you don’t understand! He shot an entire 90 minutes worth of stuff that would’ve made up an entirely different movie and it all ended up on the cutting room floor! Pfft. Hollywood.
Basically yes. He is going to remove much of the humor and replace it with more real character moments.
As the story is know so far. The company that made the popular trailer was hired to completely re-edit the entire movie, without Ayer’s involvement at all. The studio wanted something more like Guardians of The Galaxy. Which was not what Ayer made. So they just replaced him in the editing room, and made the mess we all know.
Yeah. There was so much wasted potential in the DCEU.
But I don’t consider Aquaman wasted potential at all. I’m a fan of the comic, but the source material never tried to be Black Panther, so a movie that did wouldn’t have worked anyway.
Considering “The Aquaman” made it to 2 films, I figure Hasbro will be calling Jason Mamoa to star in a “Seaspray” movie any minute. Maybe have him cameo as Boat-guy-wity-parrot in a GI Joe movie, just for good measure.
My hopes for James Gunns version are pretty high. PeaceMaker is so lovingly made.
I do worry because I haven’t seen James Gunn take on the unironically uplifting side of DC yet, and it needs to be there for the DCU to work.
