bigg jay Posted November 14, 2016 Report Posted November 14, 2016 There's always a backlash with that kind of thing but it goes away. Dr.Strange had it when it was announced they had Tilda Swinton cast as the Ancient One but I haven't heard much about it once the movie actually came out.
Logan007 Posted November 14, 2016 Report Posted November 14, 2016 Except that this movie about the Great Wall is a fantasy movie and the main character isn't supposed to be Chinese. They're some kind of mercenary types. What's really sad is, if this was to be depicted during the time and these white mercenaries came from somewhere, you'd think they'd have an English accent instead of a North American one. Someone brought up a good point in a post I read. These companies want to make money, so they need to put an actor\actress into the part who will bring in the most amount of money for them. If you made an Asian the main character, you won't bring in as much money as you would with Matt Damon. Even if Jackie Chan were younger and they used him, Matt would still be the better choice because of acting ability and draw. Until more actors from other cultures start becoming bigger draws, it will continue to be this way.
FrostyWinnipeg Posted November 14, 2016 Report Posted November 14, 2016 This was kinda done with Keanu if you remember and it bombed. It's about China though. It'll make a ton there. Never heard of The Mermaid but it maid 500m in China this year. http://www.boxofficemojo.com/intl/china/yearly/

I finally watched X-Men Apocalypse and had to say this review is way to harsh on the movie. While I didn't like it as much as DOFP it still was much better then The Last Stand and most other comic book movies. The only actor/actress who phoned it in was Jennifer Lawrence and the only gripes I had was that the movie ran a bit long and they could of cut out some of the extra characters that cluttered the movie.

I was hoping it was a joke.....but I forgot that Leo IS the joke. Edited November 17, 2016 by basslicker

Really, because so far the word on the street is that it's better then The Force Awakens. Apparently George Lucas even really liked it.
tacklewasher Posted December 12, 2016 Report Posted December 12, 2016 When can I get my Guardians tickets.... I love that song.

tacklewasher Posted December 12, 2016 Report Posted December 12, 2016 Glad I didn't yet. Plans changed and I would have been screwed. Plan now is for Sunday.
bigg jay Posted December 12, 2016 Report Posted December 12, 2016 I have to wait until Monday to see it.
