Idk, I've seen a rather big disparity in release dates WW compared to most movies. May that be the reason why it's making so little money as of now?

Apparently its where Lucas & co got the inspiration from for the Valerian comic, When they did Star Wars.

I love your syntax, Kaz. lol. Keep it up.

It makes sense. It's very Solo/Leia. It doesn't surprise me that Valerian was an inspiration for Star Wars. A lot of it reminded me of Star Wars.

Oh, I almost forgot. I thought I recognized John Goodman's voice in the movie. Sure enough, it's him...

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000422/?ref_=tt_cl_t4#actor

It's a great voice match. He voices this guy, Igon Siruss...

(please log in to view the image)

If he's from the comics he had to be an inspiration for Jabba the Hutt.

Juz saying The 5th Element was fun & cool 20 years ago but watching it again recently...there was a lot of cringeworthy cheesy moments.

I really forgot how annoying & how much Chris Tucker ruined the movie for me.

Guess he's pretty polarizing, but I loved that performance. Loved that all the characters were fun in their own way. The general, the president, the super flamboyant fem guy who's the embodiment of the perfect male sex symbol then. Still love watching that movie.

Chris Tuckers voice in that movie was like 1,000 tiny little daggers of ice stabbing me in my brain. Some Cthulhu type shit must have been afoot, because my mind just can't even process how people came up with that.

Just seen from Walter Simonson on Facebook his thoughts on the movie, Go into this movie with low expectations and you'll enjoy it seems to be the way.

I had to look up who Walter Simonson even is. I've never read any of his comics, but yeah, I guess I agree with him if that's what he said. Like with any movie really you have to temper your expectations with what you see in the trailers and with your appreciation for big, outer space Sci-Fi/Space Opera. You have to go in expecting a visual spectacle not necessarily with the most fleshed-out characters in the world. Bottom line it's a fun world and an obvious inspiration for Star Wars with its impressive imagination. And it turns out to have some sort of detective elements, which I think makes an inherently interesting premise.

So it was you who said that

From a web discussion of the movie, Valarian, in which a post referred to my comment here on FB upon seeing the movie, paraphrasing my remark about having low expectation going into the film. Somebody else replied "I had to look up who Walter Simonson even is. I've never read any of his comics, but yeah, I guess I agree with him if that's what he said." Word. wink

Oh, I thought you meant his initial review was similar to mine.

But he quoted me and didn't even give credit. Shame.. :/

It opens in China on Aug 25th, but I'll still be surprised if this comes anywhere near turning a profit...

Haha.. I love Luc Besson. He takes a stab at Captain America...

quote:
“What bothers me most is it’s always here to show the supremacy of America and how they are great. I mean, which country in the world would have the guts to call a film Captain Brazil or Captain France? I mean, no one! We would be like so ashamed and say, ‘No, no, come on, we can’t do that.’ They can. They can call it Captain America and everybody think it’s normal. I’m not here for propaganda, I’m here to tell a story.”

Feels like his butthurt because his Valerian film hasn't been to well


also it's getting kinda ****en stupid now, Seems every few months a director rears their head and has a ***** about something with the superhero movie genre. If they don't like then don't watch it.

Well, I tend to agree with him.

He makes a good point. America does have a lot of gall to peddle a character like Captain America. That character has always gotten on my nerves. Although, oddly enough the Captain America films have done pretty well outside the United States, so I guess we're just giving the world what they demand. laughing out loud roll eyes (sarcastic)
