Not really sure about this movie. I know the hype around this one has begun, and there are loads of reports about it being pretty poor where story is concerned, and that this is more a Will Smith type affair than an Alex Proyas type movie. Alex Proyas for those in the dark is the supremely talented man behind the original Crow and Dark City. Since those two movies I actually haven’t seen him do anything. I guess this is coming back with a vengance really bringing in a blockbuster of sorts, but I’ve got to say that something about getting Will in there does actually reduce the credebility for me. Call me crazy but I would have loved it more if another unknown actor was put in there instead.
I guess I’ll have to wait and pass judgement when I’ve actually seen the thing. Could be good, could be rubbish, I’m still on the fence about this one, even though I really should be clamouring to watch it.
I honestly, had no clue about Alex Proyas and the crow and dark city…when I saw the trailer it bored the life out of me….Will Smith..Bloody hell…..What good movie has he acted in? MIB? Wild Wild West? Enemy of the State? most prob. Bad Boys….thats it really…sad
I hear Will was also OK in Ali, although I’ve never actually seen the movie so I can’t comment. As I was writing that post I thought that I should wait till I get back to Greece and watch it there, can you find out if it’s going to be playing when I’m in Athens? Somehow it seems like such a Village movie on a boring Wednesday in August :)
Dude….I watched Ali with Angelo…its the only movie we have ever walked out of…..no joke!
I’ll check and get back to you
