TheOtherTed Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Would need to see more. Not quite buying Nick Cage as Dracula, the supporting characters seem a bit flat, and Renfield himself seems a bit too well-adjusted, even after 125 years of coming to terms with his "new normal." But all that could change with the next trailer. TSDR - Tim Burton's "Batman," or Des McAnuff's "The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle"? Could go either way.

Frostbiter Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Why does this remind me so much of Abe Lincoln: Vampire Hunter? That movie should have been terrible but it both was and wasn't. 1 Torchbearer Discount Heroes SG: Frostbiter - Ice/Ice Blaster Throneblade - Broadsword/Dark Armor Brute Silver Mantra - Martial Arts/Electric Armor Scrapper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clave Dark 5 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I just saw this trailer myself elsewhere. Well, it's a good trailer, but they can't be trusted ha ha, so who knows? I do have my interest piqued though, so it worked on that level. ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ Clave's Sure-Fire Secrets to Enjoying City Of Heroes Don't bother with those farming chores...

ThaOGDreamWeaver Posted January 9, 2023 Author Share Posted January 9, 2023 It felt very Shaun Of The Dead to me - comedy, sure, but also horror, played by horror rules. And I have no idea if Nic can pull it off either, but it'll be a gloriously Nic performance either way. If anything's bothering me, they're going a little heavy on the comic book tones of the lighting, but it'll definitely have its own tone and style. WAKE UP YA MISCREANTS AND...

Mopery Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) After watching Matchstick Men in the theater, a movie which was promoted as a comedy, I've sworn off ever watching any Nicholas Cage movies ever again. Even if they're free. I remember clearly that the large audience in attendance at the movie collectively laughed twice. In 2 hours. And the laughs were more "laugh-cringe" than "LMAO" laughs. I'll also never believe a national movie critic again, because that's the reason I chose that movie in the first place. Edited January 9, 2023 by Mopery 1 What, me worry?

It's all about finding what entertains and resonates with you personally. Yup. Also, it's worth looking at each movie in its own right, not just because actor X is or isn't in it. I mean, "Keanu Reeves, action hero" still has the inner 90s' me going "...whoa...", but after Speed, that happened, and now we have Ted Logan as a franchise-making dark avenger dude. I can't imagine why or how Cage maintains his phenomenal work rate - or how stir crazy he must have been going in this strike. But he's clearly got to that Bob De Niro era in an actor's life where they've gone "screw it, let's do everything". Cage is just gutted he missed out to Bob on that Stardust role...

Techwright Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 I'm getting a vibe somewhere between Hugh Jackman's Van Helsing and Nick Cage's own The Sorcerer's Apprentice. Both I considered not deep, but worth the price of popcorn, extra butter. And hey, it's got Nicholas Hoult, himself experienced with quirky monster movies (Warm Bodies).

I can't tell you the backstory, but what I can tell you is that is a movie that isn't actually about what it looks like it is about nor is it actually about the plot points that happen along the way. There's a depth underneath the madness that I did not expect to find. I went into it expecting a post-apocalyptic surrealist fever dream and nothing more. Turns out I got that and quite a bit more. It takes a while to get there, but once there the trip becomes worth taking. 2 You see a mousetrap? I see free cheese and a f$%^ing challenge.

Frostbiter Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Just saw this one. I don't know if I've enjoyed a movie more in the last couple of years. And Cage gives a surprisingly good Dracula performance. It wasn't what I was expecting at all, in a very good way. 2 Torchbearer Discount Heroes SG: Frostbiter - Ice/Ice Blaster Throneblade - Broadsword/Dark Armor Brute Silver Mantra - Martial Arts/Electric Armor Scrapper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaOGDreamWeaver Posted December 11, 2023 Author Share Posted December 11, 2023 Small piece of casting news: clearly we weren't the only ones impressed by Nic Hoult, as Gunn has just officially cast him in Superman: Legacy... ...as Lex? Yeah. Yeah, I could see that. Especially as Lex isn't the primary antagonist: that's The Engineer (think T3's Terminator X model.) WAKE UP YA MISCREANTS AND... HEY, GET YOUR OWN DAMN SIGNATURE.
