I can't even save $1 million in one lifetime and these people are losing $200 million on one film.

I remember Tom Hanks making a big fuzz about the digital actors in "Final Fantasy", painting them as a threat to real actors. Only to star in "Polar Express" four years later,

I never actually finished the Marvels, I left halfway through to answer a phone call, and when I came back, my parents had switched it off and put on something else. The bright colour scheme, the overblown stakes, lacklustre direction, and just lack of interest in the MCU didn't convince them to keep watching.

John Carter of Mars was a great movie, but it was 40 years too late. A Perfect 60's extravaganza decades too late.

I'm glad you have real reasons as to why The Marvels flopped, instead of just saying, "Brie Larson/Feminism bad."

[Curtiz]

The producers of the Lone Ranger had no respect for the original material. The movie was also too big, too many explosions. The Lone Ranger has been a more personal story. No need for massive effects sequences, just have a good script and don't make the hero an idiot.

I will never understand why Marvel and Disney thought that The marvels would make money. 3 heroines that the public couldnt care less, an actress that isnt liked, a musical scene (like, why?) And of course The MCU was on bad shape after soo many lacklusters movies.

Blade runner being in this list breaks my heart. People making memes on Ryan Gosling saying literally me didn't even support the movie when it was released 😔

[erwinesto]

That's Disney's excuse for The Marvel flopping, Covid. How come The Batman which was also filmed during that time became a huge hit?

[jasondermack]

Awesome video. It should also be noted that Cloud Atlas was co-directed by German director Tom Tywker, the guy behind Run Lola Run

[theniceperson]

"As budgets keep increasing, so will the number of flops." Your right about that and history has shown that as well, especially last year which of course part of it was because of covid. Last year also coined the term flopbuster as well. This year hasn't been too bad, but I think next year will be bad. When will studios learn. 🤦

Mary Sue…oh sorry…Brie as Captain Marvel like many such two dimensional characters short-cutted the Heroe’s Journey. She was ALL powerful, overcame no challenges, suffered no defeats, and G Bossed all the way to the WOMP of an ending!

[Robert-juub]

I adored Cloud Atlas. I don't think a movie has ever had me so engrossed in its world. Roger Ebert's review is dead-on.

Last night I saw this truly spectacular Chinese crime thriller (black coal, thin ice). It is amazing how the director crafts that movie to show the cat and mouse game and keeps the audience from being sure who’s the cat and who’s the mouse at any given time. The cinematography is also beautiful and i love the closing scenes and lead actors performances. Really reminded me what filmmaking can do. Anyways just wanted to share that since my husbands been catching up on the marvel universe lately and watching that secondhand made this palette cleanser even more cathartic

I like John Carter. Of course it could’ve been better. But I enjoyed it overall.

Mad Max: Aussie taxpayers forked out a staggering $183million for Chris Hemsworth Hollywood flop Furiosa - as prequel struggles to break even at box office

[pawelzietek]

I liked John Carter, it is really entertaining, well made and the characters are incredibly likeable. I do not understand why they changed the name to John Carter and why haven’t they promoted it.

[Zippofanaticoutdoors]

I took the kids to see Lone Ranger. We all liked it. Great job on this video. Subbed

[brettrobinson]

I say lets take a break from SUPERHERO movies for about 30 years...figure out how to make the next "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest " or " Shawshank Redemption"....

Princess of mars already exists as an movie starring Traci Lords from 2009
