Movies KRAVEN THE HUNTER (Bombs with $11 Million Opening; Dragonlord's Review, post #1)

Turns out I have ad version of Netflix so forbidden from watching Madam Webb. I guess they be trying to squeeze as much money out of that movie.

Background watched most of Morbius and kinda shit.

I’ve never seen a single one. What’s their issue? Too many people in the creative chair making decisions that turn the movie into being bland?

They're just bad, but sure, the corporate stranglehold on a heart feels like a part of it. Feels like every decision was made based on what copious research said boys aged 12-17 like. They masquerade as being edgy, but there's no teeth. Trying to appeal those boys, but without upsetting potential advertising partners, or the parents. Poser shit.

The second Venom was actually the only one I didn't hate because it was silly enough it made me laugh at times just from how stupid it was. Like they were leaning into it. Some genuinely macabre humor in there. But the rest of the movie was such a shitshow that got lost in it.

Cinema seems to be the only sector where you can come out with steaming piles of shit over and over and over again and somehow still keep doing it.

It's just a giant money laundering operation isn't it?

Sony makes so much money with the Playstation they can afford to piss it away on this garbage.

They can afford to but why do it? Aren't they talking in meetings? Hey these movies we're making are kinda shit, eh?

This is the most embarrassing disaster of a cinematic IP ever done.

Sheesh, that is saying something.

For the record, I did watch 'Let There Be Carnage' and found it fun. But I've been completely untempted to watch any of the other slop.

Woody Harrelson as a serial killer?
That's some 90s nostalgia right there.

It felt very rushed but I didn't find it offensively bad. Would not rewarch it though.

Was expecting it to be much worse. Outside of Black Widow, Guardians 3, Deadpool & Wolverine and Far From Home, it's better than anything marvel has done in phase 4 or 5.

Aaron Taylor has serious screen presence. Definitely my pick for new Bond.

I think a big issue is that things tend to be run to suit the interests of the Exec/CEO class, these people need to fuck up ALOT before there finally given the boot because you have such a deep culture of nepotism at the top of the industry although honestly I feel the same is true across many sectors.

I feel like a big issue is that Hollywood has created a trap for itself, its become almost totally focused on blockbusters getting massive opening weekends(were it gets all the money, drops off each week afterwards) so it pretty much HAS to stick to existing franchises now, its just so hard for sleeper hits to happen now which means everything needs extreme hype. The price of tickets as well I think tends to mean audiences are far less likely to "take a risk", they only show up for stuff they know now.

My guess as well would be that the obsession with ultra large budgets also comes down to there being much more room to cream off the top from them, a film with a $200 million budget has much more room for "exec producers" to be taking a cut.

Had to tap out from that summary

Wish I had more hands to give this movie 4 thumbs down
