File under Movie ideas, Really Bad
Looking over some coming attractions lately makes me wish some of them weren’t coming.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: What concerns me is not so much the sequel itself (which was inevitable) but the fact that it’s being shot partly in IMAX, a la The Dark Knight. One problem with this idea: Michael Bay is not one-tenth the director Christopher Nolan is. I worry that Bay’s frenzied visual style will be even more headache-inducing on the great big screen: Oof.
Disney has a whole raft of questionable films coming up. They may be producing a strong animated lineup, but their live action offerings leave more than a little to be desired. To wit:
Pirates of the Caribbean 4: Call bias on me all you want, as I have stated many times I think this series is overrated. But I know some fans of the franchise thought the third movie was too much of a good thing. Will this one be seven hours long and split into two parts?
Wild Hogs 2: Oink.
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice: A live action modern day remake starring Nicolas Cage and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer.
(Pauses to let the reader take that all in)
It’s official folks. Nothing is sacred anymore. Where are a thousand brooms with buckets of water when you need em?
Or are you actually looking forward to these?
