Yay!
One of the best action movies, I've seen in a while.

*drgon78* · 01-02-2021, 01:07 PM

Nothing could get me to get Disney+, not even a sequel to Alita. Especially since I have no faith in Disney whatsoever to do anything right anymore.

Wow, not even movies like Moana and Inside Out, or series like Mandalorian? Disney has made some mis-steps, to be sure, but they still have plenty of imagination and heart, in spite of what some say.

It was def underrated. And it had a hell of a lotta heart to it too.....

They've done nothing for the last 4 years except sell us movies we already watched decades ago, but with a new "skin". And that's the entirety of their future business model for the next decade.

"Imagination!"

Whooo, that was good. Ow, my sides.

I'll give you Inside Out and Moana, but Mandalorian is based on an existing franchise, relying heavily on the baby version of the same species of a pre-existing beloved character.

The rest has been live-action remake after live-action remake of what has come before.

*Andrew NDB* · 01-03-2021, 11:14 PM

Yeah... stuff like "The Mandalorian," as far as I'm concerned only earn Disney accolades for simply not saying "No" to them getting made. Their corporate body had nothing with nurturing them or being involved creatively.

Cameron seemingly confirms there is more on the way:

I will believe it when I see a official trailer.

Same here.

I hope so, I am a fan of the Manga (that I read before it was cool) and I thought they did a good job transferring it to film.

*IMJ* · 11-30-2023, 07:26 AM

They are going to do with this what they did with Avatar. Which is crazy too because I guess Avatar 2 made a ton of money, yet while it was out seemingly no one cared. It made all of this global box office money but it's like.... just something that happened and people saw it and were like "oh yeah.... I saw it". That's it.

To me, the Avatar franchise is this super-hyped nothing-burger of a film series. And the longer they drag out Alita 2, the more I can see that happening.

At least Aelita has arguably sympathetic heroine and crew, which is more than I can say about Avatar characters.

I remember a friend of mine seeing it and when I asked her if she'd liked it, she just said "I think so but when I left, it was like a black hole in my head." That's 100 % my experience with Avatar.

Haven't bothered to watch the second one even though my brother, who really hated the first one, recommended it to me. But... nah. A True Lies sequel would be the only James Cameron film I'd ever be interested in seeing. But that ship sailed long ago.

Arnold's "FUBAR" series on Netflix is honestly a spiritual sequel to True Lies. Basically, imagine if Arnold's character was still doing the same job 25 years later but now the daughter from the movie -- all grown up -- joins the family business. Same thing, same kind of story, different character names. Just... yeah... I'm one of his hugest fans, but Arnold can't really pull this off anymore, or pull off scary/intimidating either.

Pretty much my experience with that franchise as well. The most open praise I have for it is that the first one had some truly photo-real VFX of ships and plant life on the alien planet. That's it. I hardly think it's the juggernaut sci-fi franchise that James Cameron seems to think it is.

To your thing about True Lies though? Secretly I have always wanted a follow up movie to the Dark Angel T.V. series which ended pretty abruptly at season 2. It will obviously never happen, but I'd love it although it's 20 years out of spec now and Jessica Alba's star for film appearances fell a very long time ago.

It was a solid show.

It's still going. It was renewed pretty quickly for a season 2.
