What went wrong?
What went wrong?
What didn't?
It was a feature length ad.
Everything.
In the cosmic scheme of things, it all started when Popeye got snubbed, and from there a Death Star sized karma laser was aimed at the movie.
Didn't work though cause the movie made its budget internationally.
They didn't take the opportunity to make this a parody of modern kid's movies.
It was greenlit
It exists
So there's going to be a sequel, is what you are saying.
I think I saw a screen cap of a tweet about Fidget Spinner movie 2020 or something ridiculous like that.
corporativism
It really says something when I can say I could see that happening.
The corporates thought the target audience were already that dumbed down that they would swallow it. They miscalculated and now have to backpedal.
Well, the first thing that went wrong was the idea for the movie, and everything that came after that essentially.
Someone decided that it was worth greenlighting some idiot's script about emoji.
Everything ever. This movie is a clusterfuck of cliches and not a single bit of it is original. It's not even any fun to hate on this movie, because it's not interesting from an analytical standpoint in the slightest. Whatever it does wrong, it doesn't even do it wrong in its own unique way, but rather very much like dozens of other soulless Hollywood moneygrabs do. The only reason people talk about it so much is because they have no other means of self-validation other than bashing obviously shitty movies and saying to themselves "yeah, well, at least I'm not the creator of this"
Fidget spinners are practically dead now. The fad only lasted like 4 months tops.
>sony pictures
yep, that looks like the cause of those problems
The premise and the execution
This, I mean what went right?
the animation and visual effects?
Well yeah, lot of heart was put into both as a high budget movie should. But story wise I mean.
Some of the backgrounds were kind of cool, I guess
they discarded a cute girl like a piece of trash
the problem is that story wise its solid, but its the most soluless piece of shit thing you could see. This is the equivalent of doing homework for a class you have but you are about to flunk; it is done with just the right ammount of material to pass, but you can see at first glance that the writer did it just for the money.
Nothing went wrong because it was actually a financial success
How very shamelessly they added product placement and held negative aspects of technology in high regard.
It made its money back.
Please...... no sequels. Use that money to make something good.
Is that counting the advertising budget?
>story wise its solid
explain
>Captain Underpants just did okay
>The 2D movie we can't talk about is struggling
>Book of Life just barely made enough to not be a flop but it will just get overshadowed by Pixar anyway
>This shit makes $211 million
IT'S NOT FAIR GUYS
Yes. The budget was $50mil, 200mil is more than enough even if we assume a relatively high marketing budget of 30~50mil.
well, now that i think about it the correct term sould be ¨from a technical point¨, but whatever. Now from a technical standpoint it had all the ¨right¨ elements for a good movie; had a beginning, a climax, a nice ending that tied up most of the stuff, a more or less good hero´s journey, but in practice it ended being wrong.
it's just a very bad year for animation,. that's all.
so was the lego movie, but that was good
Lego at least had the whole 'imagination and fun' shtick behind the product that could be used in a movie, emojis are just simple images that are somehow branded.
>211 million
>successful in today’s Hollywood
Doesn’t matter how cheap it was, that wasn’t the money Sony was looking for, there probably won’t be sequels. Thank fucking God
Let's be honest. Sony would have fucked it up even if it was a parody.
