I can't wait to see what they do with Star Wars! :lol

Kathleen Kennedy at the helm of Lucasfilm is reassuring for now.

Funny that's what everybody said when George was in charge and look what happened!

Kathleen Kennedy at the helm of Lucasfilm is reassuring for now.

 

[Wes R]

I agree. I'm amazed they're letting Marvel do their own thing, then again that was a huge chunk of change they plunked down so better to let them keep doing what they have been than risk getting in the way.

I really think that even with a decent opening (as there is really nothing else to see this week) that this movie is going to flop if not as bad as...close to the monumental failure that was John Carter.

Opening weekend is one thing. The second-week dropoff will be the real tell.

 

[Vivek]

Despicable Me 2 might give it a tough competition on opening weekend as well.

Early reviews on rotten tomatoes are not good, at 26% right now.

You Should Absolutely Not See The Lone Ranger

I just hope its more fun then Cowboys and Aliens.

 

[Lutso]

Right, Marvel and Pixar are the exceptions which is probably cause most of their creative decisions are independent of Disney's interference by corporate entities.

Cars 2.

That is all.

 

[Vivek]

Right but out of nearly half a dozen or so great films, having one stinker isn't a bad score card .

Calling it now - John Carter 2013.

You Should Absolutely Not See The Lone Ranger

It's funny. I haven't seen the movie yet, but that review is exactly, and I do mean 'exactly', what I expect it to be. He covers all of my fears.

You Should Absolutely Not See The Lone Ranger

The first paragraph:

OK, Grierson, so all my travels of the past week have made it impossible for me to see The Lone Ranger. But I think it's gotta be awful, right? It was ravaged by budget concerns, slapped together at the last minute, and bloated pretty much from the get-go. Our job, however, as PROFESSIONAL CRITICS OF CINEMA, is to go into every movie with as open a mind as possible, positioning ourselves as the ideal viewer, one who just wants to be entertained.

Yeah, I didn't read any further. This wasn't going to be an un-biased review.

I realize that no review is un-biased, but you can't say "This movie is going to be terrible, but I have an open mind." This is the same kind of mentality that went into "Cowboys and Aliens" and expected more than "Cowboys and Aliens".

 

[Wes R]

They might not be unbiased but the audience and other critics agree it's a giant pile of crap so they weren't wrong.

THE LONE RANGER (1956) and THE LONE RANGER AND THE LOST CITY OF GOLD (1957) are much better. They are on Youtube. Spent the holiday looking at them instead. :lol That's the REAL Lone Ranger.

The 1949 Clayton Moore is on there too.

the original lone ranger tv show was way worse than this movie as far as insulting native americans... hands down
