Jem and the Holograms movie - Page 2

*Papenbrook* · 05-12-2015, 09:04 PM

Holy Hollywood! That has got to be the most stereotypical teenage drama I have ever seen, and it's just the trailer. It looks like on of those "I'm gonna be famous, but it doesn't turn out well" plots.

*pennydreadful* · 05-12-2015, 10:37 PM

I'm amazed that you're not complaining about the lack of body diversity in casting for this movie - knock me over with a feather!

~~Leo656~~ · 05-12-2015, 10:41 PM

Ooof. Man, I'unno anybody who wanted a "serious" or "dramatic" Jem movie. And SO many awful wigs. Oooooooof. Seems a lot less "Jem" and a whole lot more "Hannah Montana", to me. "Jem" was over the top and goofy; I wish they'd done like Speed Racer and just been super-literal in adapting the original material. That'd be fun; this looks super-predictable and cheap, like a CW or Nickelodeon movie or something.

People in the Jem cartoon solved minor disputes by cutting people's brakes, kidnapping them, putting a bomb in the trunk of their car, or pushing them out of a helicopter. Sh*t like that. This might be a little more "realistic", but seriously, talk about "in name only". This ain't Jem, it's Josie and the Pussycats mixed with Hannah Montana. Booooo.

And yeah Josie and the Pussycats was silly but it was harmless fluff. I actually like that dumb movie.

Put me down for another Jossie and the Pussycats movie fan. That movie was very funny and very satirical especially considering at the time it was released.

This just looks so lazy. It's just every rise to stardom and abandoning your friends story that has been done to death. It's like one of those scripts was just sitting around gathering dust and someone wanted to cash in on the Jem name. People can complain all they want about how their 80s cartoons turned live action movies were ruined but Jem and the Holograms really got it the worst in this case.

*Allio* · 05-13-2015, 04:21 PM

my only exposure to Jem was the first issue of IDW's reboot

and this movie seems nothing like Jem

*Papenbrook* · 05-13-2015, 07:19 PM

The premise is too stereotypical, and the emotion is almost hollow. I'm pretty sure they made this movie in order to make a quick buck. This movie will bomb in the box office.

*TigerClaw* · 08-11-2015, 04:06 PM

a new trailer got released, and this one shows Synergy as a tiny robot.

*Raph's Girl* · 08-11-2015, 05:40 PM

Synergy is now the offspring of Wall-E and Eva...

~~Leo656~~ · 08-11-2015, 11:34 PM

Wow, that's all pretty bad.

You could doctor that up with a little thing saying, "A Disney Channel Original Movie", and I'd totally believe it.

That's exactly what it looks like.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 08-11-2015, 11:37 PM

C'mon, can't you at least give Disney more credit than THAT? They did Maleficent and the new Cinderella movie, after all. Both of which are way better, IMHO.

~~Leo656~~ · 08-11-2015, 11:41 PM

I wasn't comparing it to their theatrical releases, I was comparing it to their Friday night "original movie" tweener garbage they run on their channel to sate the 12-year-old girls.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 08-11-2015, 11:47 PM

Ah, I see. Haven't seen Descendants, yet, but I take it that's what you're going for?

~~Leo656~~ · 08-12-2015, 12:03 AM

I'unno what that is either.

I briefly lived with my sister and my niece a while back, I just remember she'd always watch these silly made-for-Disney Channel movies on the weekend. That's what this reminds me of, I'unno what any of 'em were called, though.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 08-12-2015, 12:06 AM

You didn't see the thread for that a few weeks back? TV movie with the kids of the Disney villains? Though I hear it's good cheesy fun, if you're into that sort of thing.

Anyway, you must be thinking of High School Musical movies and the like.

*drgon78* · 08-12-2015, 08:31 PM

I don't know, those made for TV movies have bigger budgets then this one does.

*Autbot_Benz* · 10-22-2015, 01:18 PM

The Schmoes saw the movie and its basically a piece of crap

Also regarding The Jem Movie

*Candy Kappa* · 10-22-2015, 03:35 PM

Everyone knows that Michael Bay and Jason Blum is the same person, he changes names for tax purposes

What about Uwe Boll? Another alias?

DON'T TEMPT FATE DAMNIT

But that sucks that all they did was try and repackage Josie and the PussyCats with face paint. This isn't JEM. This is even more far removed from the source than BayTurtles and BayFormers

Universal is pulling Jem from theaters because it has done horribly.
