Review....GEMINI MAN

I like Will Smith movies usually but this one, visually wonderful, lacked energy and the characters seemed contrived. Just another SFX hollywood action movie to sucker in the kids, sell DVDs and streaming hits. Not a total waste of time and does have some humor and entertaining moments, but over all catch it on Netflix.

The trailer sure didn't inspire me to see this one.
Hollywood sure puts out a lot of crap for every gem they produce.

Just like music now days (that sucks), Hollywood knows that we will still consume their crap.

Oh I don't know. They seem to make a ton of flops for knowing what they're doing.

Solo?

Dark Phoenix?

Batman vs superman?

Hellboy?

Tolkien?

Soon to be dark fate if I had to guess..

Joker was certainly cine art though. Powerful!!

Yes, joker was awesome.
I can usually take or leave Phoenix but he nailed this one.

So many movies today feel lazy and cliche like they are written around visual effects instead of the effects being written around the characters.

Joker is dangerous and promotes alt right violence....

Anyway, I haven't seen it but heard great things, I'll watch it someday when it's free.

Entertainment industry is in big trouble, as mentioned above they are slitting their own throats and instead of learning from their mistakes, they double down.

If it weren't for china buying them, their would have been a huge contraction of jobs in the entertainment industry. Because many people are coming around to not "caring" and while still wanting to be entertained, don't want to pay much for it(10 bucks a month to stream stuff for most).

You could be right but people are still buying flat screen, 60in TVs like crazy. They must be watching something. I'll bet you own one!!

And when you get right down to it, everything on TV is entertainment; sports, news, reality, soaps, daytime, advertising, etc. And ad revenues are up, so if the industry is in a decline, someone should tell the corporations spending billions on advertising, and shooting ads is a yuggggeeee part of the media biz.

Streaming platforms have changed everything. btw...all the union media whores like myself are working 14 and 16 hr days. I'm at work now and it's 7pm. Love that overtime! We're having problems finding qualified people to work crew. Soon political campaigns will start; that's when the real media circus will start. It will be epic for anyone that knows the biz and wants to make a butt load of money till the elections. Even our pissy little local politicians spend millions on TV spots. It's a sh!tty job but someone's gotta do it. But still "livin the fu**in dream"

It was the Fresh Prince chasing Will Smith around for an hour. Then they meet a 14 year old Will Smith at the end.
