Jungle Cruise (2020)

Ugh, this looks like a promising concept turned into a crapfest by casting The Rock and doing too much and trying too hard... facepalm

One of the big reasons Pirates of the Caribbean worked so well was the unique and fun performance of Johnny Depp. Dwayne Johnson ain't gonna provide that.

I just saw this trailer about two hours ago.
Looks...average.

While I love the Rock in pretty much everything, and Emily Blunt seemed fun enough, i only saw them.
They need more ppl to bounce things off of.
PIRATES had a nice ensemble feel to it, at least till Depp became the focus.

Yeah, good point. I enjoy a lot of the other character actors in Pirates of the Caribbean at least as much as Depp.

Same.
Elizabeth of course, and Will Turner till he got overshadowed by Depp.
Murtogg and Mullroy, the none too bright guards, a lot of the recurring pirate crew...

Not something I'll see in theaters.

Maybe a cheap theater if I'm really bored, but that probably won't be the case.

It's just kind of sad, because it looks like Disney is wanting to recreate the success of Pirates, but this doesn't look likely to do it.

Nah, this won’t be a phenomenon on PIRATES level, no way.

This really does look like a big, expensive crapfest.

Hopefully a fun one, though...

Amazing how a year on our standards have fallen so far we will watch anything.

The only thing that looks good in this is Emilie Blunt, but she's just lovely.

Yeah, everything after 2 pretty much disproves PL.

Pirates 1 worked so well because everyone was cast so well, and given plenty of screen time.

I’d forgotten all about this. 😆
