Dune Two

Another trailer.

I'll need to rewatch Part 1 cos I can't remember a single thing about it


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2Qp5pL3ovA?si=5h6XZIEK16jdyfz9

The execs at WB are not very smart.

Pushing Dune 2 to March 2024 and letting Aquaman 2 get the Christmas holiday release is a very idiotic move ngl.

The money Dune is going to make in March would have been much more if it was released for Christmas.

Aquaman 2 is a waste of space. That movie is doomed to underperform financially. Christmas season won't save it.
So I don't get why they are doing it any favours when they have a guaranteed big hitter in Dune 2.

WB never see handwriting on the wall.

Very dumb company.

The writers and actors strike forced their hand to shift the date..No?

The strike ended November 9 or so and Dune:Part 2 was scheduled for release on November 3rd, which meant they couldn't do any promotional stuff for the movie due to the strike, this would have hurt the B.O numbers more. March 2024 release date is fair, and it gives them time for all the promotional momentum the movie needs to excel and i am near certain it will do decent numbers.


RE: Aquaman 2. WB simply do not care about this movie and probably why it was allowed the Christmas holiday movie slot, if it was a "serious" movie, giving the circumstances, WB would have shifted it too. Given the Amber Heard hullabaloo already, given the choice, WB would have actually voted to skip any promotion for this movie to save PR. The movie is already "doomed" to fail, and WB just want to get it over with and fulfil any contractual agreements. I will be very surprised if the movie did any serious numbers, not necessarily because it will be a bad movie in itself, but because of "forces" beyond the movie's control.

It's actually a smart move. DUNE looks certain to make bank while Aquaman 2 needs all the help it can get.

It is important to note that Aquaman 2 costs two times more to produce than Dune Part 2. With a $220mn+ budget, it's better to set it up in a very much favourable window to reduce the risks compared to a $125-135mn production for DUNE.
And we all know fans will turn up enmasse for DUNE come March. One funny thing working for DUNE new date is that, that movie will be the first MAJOR blockbuster film for audiences when it releases and people will be all too eager to flock the theatres cos there's been nothing of it's kind all through November or December till next year February (if Aquaman 2 fails to entice).

DUNE also gets 6 weeks of premium screens it would've gotten if it stayed in November....until Godzilla x Kong arrives in April.


March is a very lucrative month for movies too, that's why studios fight for that date asides Summer June/July.
WB kills two birds with one stone. Minimise the loss on Aquaman and still make money with Dune, instead of having to deal with a catastrophic loss.

Leave the World Behind (2023).

Big tease...Little punch!

With the effect of climate change already looming, the ill rewards of advancement in technologies such as A.I already showing and countries these days seemingly needing very little nudge to go to war further pushing this planet to near apocalyptic cataclysm, movies like this are going to be a regular.

The premise of this promised the aforementioned in the last paragraph and i was wagging my tongue in anticipation but alas i was "happy" for nothing. It had a fantastic cast to deliver the job at hand but it all went to waste.

The movie started with so much promise and it was chilly as it could be for an incoming "Armageddon" like, crumbling of this planet...Planes falling out of the skies, internet and cell services, totally gone, self driving cars causing mayhem, teeth falling out of mouth...i mean this had to be leading to some gigantic reveal right? Wrong!...All the finesse build up led nowhere than a silly pretentious ruse to rope you in to think the movie has some kind of bigger philosophical meaning but it's a dead end.

And to think the run time was a ridiculous 2hrs 21 mins!. In hindsight, nothing in this warranted such a long run time...A total waste of time.

4/10.

The movie was meant to answer one question of which it delivered. Traders will understand better.

My 2023 Top 10 Worst Flicks

2023 was supposed to be the year when Hollywood completely rebounded off the effects of the COVID pandemic slow down and we were supposed to be served some serious "heat" in terms of movies, but due to some unforseen circumstances, there were so many "gbà" movies, i had the displeasure of seeing, that i just had to make this list.

NB: This list is highly subjective as per my own personal view and the "worse" is highly contextualize. Some aren't "bad, bad", i just had high expectations and they were cruelly dashed.

10) Talk to Me (2023)

I was full of hope for this seeing that it was an A24 prod. With a not so fresh idea, the premise was actually good but the execution was terrible and they lost me, midway

9) The Flash (2023).
Worse time to be a superhero movie + clunky CGI + moot plot. The excessive fan service wasn't enough for it to warrant any kind of replay value. I saw it once and i never looked back.

8 Expend4bles (2023).
I saw the need for part 1, but how the hell the they stretch this to 2,3 and let alone 4??. They should retire the franchise and the actors too should hang it for good. A truly terrible motion picture.


7) Fast X (2023).
The allure of "Family" couldn't save this. Again another franchise that should be put out of service for good as this hasn't being a proper flick since Fast 5. I will be there for Fast 11 tho, can't let my man, Dom, go hungry 😏.

6) Heart of Stone (2023).
Nothing much to say about this classic dumpster fire. It was just bad from, script to delivery. You want to do Mission Impossible on a budget and Gal Gadot is who you call? Funny enough, her pretty tax was the only little light about the flick so i will be seated for her next flick 👀.

5) 65 (2023). Adam driver is too talented for the kind of bottom barrel flicks he is involved in, i mean, he has had more misses than hits. If your expectations are low, than this was just another regular sci fi flick but annoyingly, my expectations were high af!

4) Freelance (2023). 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️...If you don't see John Cena in a "Peacemaker" costume, just run. terrible terrible film 😭😭.

3) Ghosted (2023). Post MCU Chris Evans is a sore for a fine sight 😭. This movie was totally crap. him and his co-lead Ana de Amas seemed as if they weren't on the same set, absolutely zero chemistry and a total epic fail of a flick.

2) Knights of Zodiac (2023). If you jam this flick anywhere, just run 😭😭. A near perfect 0/10 flick. Truly "remarkable".

1) Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023). Superhero Fatigue aside. This movie was supposed to herald the next Avenger sequence and have like a "Thanos" like intro for the next MCU main villain but man it was a total misfire, the plot was haphazard, worse still the CGI was so cringe that i had to question if they were serious or i was seeing a parody. I was almost moved to tears, and people around me thought i was feeling the movie on another level not knowing it was my hard earned funds i had just wasted on this crap that had my eyes watery 😭. The absolute worst flick i saw in 2023.


I have a strong feeling if i have waited till next week at least to make this list, "The Marvel" would have made the cut. MCU serving burnt food with reckless abandon and they need to be stopped 😭😭.

Now whilst 2023 served up many stinkers, with some not even making this list, They were also some gems, and i do hope i am able to curate that list too.

But for now, on to 2024 and hoping there are more bangers than gbá bottom barrel flicks that exist only to waste our time, data and hard earned funds...🍻🥂

Wtf do you mean? If I see a movie that has a low score anywhere, why would I waste my time on it except there's an agenda behind the review; it's not being dimwitted, it's being smart with time and data

Fast X and Ghosted are the only movies I saw in your list. I hated Fast X and deleted it instantly but I enjoyed Ghosted because of Adrien Brody. His accent killed me.

“This is my town. Nothing happens here that I don’t see coming a mile away - Gunshot! Everything but that I guess! grin

I’m the best bounty hunter alive - Gunshots!

He meant second best. They call me the Leopard - Cracking!

But even Leopards get killed by Lions, Hyenas, Lightning.” grin

I agree that the movie is average at best but I like it and I’m keeping it.

Ghosted been number 2 should tell you all you need to know from my perspective. I didn't see any redeeming quality in it.

You are lucky you didn't see the rest cry cry. Some major stinkers in there🗑️. It's totally my fault for having an interest in so many movies across multiple genres. They could do a movie in Mongolian language and I'd be interested 😩. I should change this stance soon, maybe i wouldn't see so many garbage thereafter.
