To incarnate a super hero or naughty, the costume is not enough

With the multiplication of the adaptations of comics in film, it is necessary to analyze the performances of the actors. And some have planted well.
The habit does not make the monk, as they say. Accountability is shared with producers. They chose them, so the actors do what they are asked and what they can do. In any case, the cast proved to be a failure and the performances did not mark the spirits. Not in the right way anyway.
Nicolas Cage in Johnny Blaze / Ghost Rider
Nico was also mocked for his sometimes chelous roles, his ridiculous haircuts, his ability to do shit to pick up thunes, and also the fans of Ghost Rider. At the base scary character, it became rather funny and pathetic thanks to the actor . Finally, because of it, suddenly! A memorable performance, but not in the good sense of the word.
Jennifer Garner in Elektra
Level rage and strength, we saw better. And we could have hoped better, especially. Although she is physically fit, sharp, the actress did not meet expectations. Afterwards, there are those who plainly wanted a woman with features and a Greek appearance. Now, Jennifer Garner has no Greek origin, so good, here. Another detail that stings: the producers made a little finger to the fans by taking it back in the spin-off Elektra (2005), after his first role in Daredevil (2003).
Topher Grace in Eddie Brock / Venom
A guy at the top of the class, all cute, a gringalet. So he must incarnate Venom, perhaps the biggest enemy of Spiderman, his evil double, his black side. We would have seen a guy more violent, more flippant, more impressive . Kind with a square head and a neck of beef. Pity.
Halle Berry en Patience Phillips / Catwoman
It could have sticking. But no. The producers did not really respect the origins of the character already, and the actress did not really incarnate Catwoman. Apart from its suppleness and its beauty, question character, it was not folichon . A mixed record for Halle Berry, and this is not the first time to tell the truth.
Jesse Eisenberg in Lex Luthor
Nothing but the look did not fit at all, but then not at all. When you see the guy class, manly, mysterious, and bald comic, you imagine finding the same in the film . At last you hope! But here, a young, thin, long-haired, with a childish way of talking that brings him closer to a teenager, it shocks. So, ok, we catch Lex Luthor / Jesse Eisenberg bald, in his cell at the end, after waiting for the whole movie …
Keanu Reeves in Constantine
The producers had to say to themselves: “Ah vaaaaaa, the comic goes back to 20 pins, we do what we want, it passes .” Except that fans have memory, and that they like consistency. Respect their favorite characters. Seeing Constantine switch from platinum blonde sting to brown / black is already a bit con. Then see him change character, personality, seductive guy, smiling to the solitary, embittered, cold, even more. In terms of recipe, the film did what it needed. As for the kiff for fans, less. Other examples of disappointments in mind?

Fortunately, these reboots of series quickly went to the scrappage

Repeating a story and continuing it at any cost, in one way or another, rarely remains a good idea. These series have confirmed this.
They almost missed all our good memories. We began to get excited, to see our nostalgia replaced by a kind of visceral disgust, and it was going to eat us from the inside. We do not say thank you to those responsible for these failed reboots. But thanks to those who promptly canceled and arrested them.
Heroes Reborn
At the beginning of the original, in 2006, the subject and the universe were unique, different. Which is a challenge today. Find an idea that does not seem to be a nth already seen a little remixed and adapted. It was even before Christopher Nolan impressed us with his Batman. Here, no cape, superhero, comic book names . For a most convincing result. So why try a reboot to 2 € in 2015? Too many characters, badly constructed more, and a villain who stinks the shit. No, no way. Phew was quickly cut short.
Beverly Hills Cop
The creators surely said, “It’s in the old pots that we make the best jams, do not we?” And hop, boom, idea of genius: to spit a police series (it is the fashion) based on the adventures of Axel Foley. This uncontrollable, crazy cop and yet effective, embodied Eddy Murphy in movies 90s . Except that there, the plan was to do something with Shawn Ryan, creator of “The Shield”, “The Chicago Code” and “Last Resort”. That is, serious and dramatic stuff. A hair opposite the original spirit, mid-comedy-mi action. We escaped, thank you.
$ 200 plus expenses
In the 1970s, this former detainee who was the victim of a miscarriage of justice who became a private detective was successful. Then the NBC, in search of program, said: why not? Produced by Steve Carrell, the series would have installed Dermot Mulroney as protagonist. Above all, the series ( “The Rockford Files” in VO) was intended household 50, bah yeah, meanwhile, since their twenties, they have aged , like everyone else. Fortunately, the pilot was so faulty that the guys ended the delirium right away. Without being a businessman, because some would like to make a film, with Vince Vaughn.
The Osbournes
After four seasons to follow the lively life of the rocker’s family, we had more or less made the tour. Well, we’re not going to lie. The episodes had already been going on for so long. Shit, I said aloud. In short, in 2015, to celebrate the tenth anniversary, the creators were sure we wanted to start again, we expected a reboot . No. Ozzy has not done anything since, his children logically barred from the family home, Sharon and Kelly are working on another series … And then no, we just did not feel like it. No need for explanations.
Funny ladies
The 1970s (Charlie’s Angels) was a boxboard, and the films that were drawn afterwards respected the spirit. Some pretty girls, but not that. Of humor, an alchemy between them, a charismatic boss, nested stories … In 2011, ABC has managed to collect three actually beautiful women. But otherwise, move along, there’s nothing to see . Besides, the viewers have circulated on their own, without further ado, rather quickly. So much so that the series was stopped after only four episodes.
The Flintstones
The creator of “American Dad”, “Les Griffin” (“Family Guy” in VO) was hot. Boiling. Seth MacFarlane had always loved the Flintstones, so bringing his paw in a reboot was a big challenge. And a pleasure. Unless one knows his penchant for humor and the construction of a family in the grip of a father a tad heavy . Then the director of the Fox told him the bottom of his thoughts about his plans for Caillouville: “it’s going, but I’m not a fan”. Basically. End of the story. Finally, it’s not bad plans that fall to the water sometimes?

These movies where you want to shake an illogical character who makes crap

sivertime — Fri, 24 Feb 2017 18:47:00 +0000

Like a friend you like and you see a bad decision, despite common sense. You shout: “No, but are you serious?”
It must have happened to you already. You look at the scene, you do not understand why the character does this, it makes you crazy . You want to tart, make him aware of his dumpling, limit you insult him. But it’s true, brothel, why does he do that?
A day in hell
In the previous opus, Crystal Trap, the story ended badly for Hans Gruber. This thief and big tart had seen his plans thwarted by an unknown cop, John McLane. And there, his brother Simon finds nothing better than to call and involve him? He said to himself, “I want to gallerate with a snake who has already force-fed my brother” … There is a moment, we must know what we want. When you first want to succeed in your plan and steal gold, you concentrate on it. To hell with pride and vengeance.
Alien
How to complicate the work of his team and jeopardize a mission of egg? Practical tip: Include someone who does not share your plan at all, lie to him, and run the risk of being expedited . That’s exactly what Burke does with Ripley. He hopes to bring back a living alien, she only wants to exterminate them. And naturally, he will get them to join him, hiding his real plan.
Inception
You know it’s a bullshit, you should not, but you do it anyway. Will know why … The madness to think that it can take another turn, the desire to believe, the desire to have desire … But a big bullshit anyway. Like Cobb who lets Mall listen to his own thoughts and perceptions, while he knows perfectly that this is the devil of his dreams . And she’s gonna blow everything up in the air. It was enough to cover her ears so that she heard nothing and could do nothing. But no, it would be too simple! Then it’s gift, and obviously after it fuck the shit by bumping Robert Fischer.
Spiderman 3
Either he is con to race, or he loves evil and manipulates people. Who ? The butler Bernard, who works for Harry Osborne. The guy knows from the beginning that Harry’s father did not die because of Spiderman but leaves him nevertheless his employer thirsty for revenge , looking for sticks to Peter Parker / Spiderman, beating and being disfigured, before Let go of the info at the end … “Your father died because of his own glider, no Spiderman” . Kind, “ah yes, by the way, I know stuff eh, and that might interest you.” Bastard, you could not tell before?
Iron Man
Pepper is worried about Obadiah Stane’s embezzlement, she has captured his dubious business and says he will eventually taint Tony Stark’s reputation sooner or later. Let us admit. Except that to be really quiet, friend Tony could also avoid walking in 4m suits and smashing everything in downtown Los Angeles. Play it low profile. But hey, I say that …
Matrix
There’s a time for everything. To eat, to sleep, to think, to act, to argue … And then, when Agent Smith tracks Trinity and Neo relentlessly, do not argue. No, I’m sorry, you do not have time to cut the fat . It’s simple, you have to pick up the phone that rings in the cabin to disappear and save yourself. And Trinity, she decides to embark on a laborious monologue, full of hesitations, silences … all that to say nothing finally and risk their lives. They’re okay. But never again. You will make confidences and statements later, thank you. What other examples do you have in mind?
