This movie was better than I thought it would be.

this movie sucked for real. one huge build up to nothing

weareanydaynow - Exactly.

Really great up and coming director. Which I hope because of this movie won't change that. Sadly the mess of the movie fell on both Carl Rinsch and Universal. I remember Carl Rinsch talking about what he wanted to do for the movie. It was a completely different story compared to the one we got. The script was changed, production and post production was also changed. Because Universal wanted more control.

This kind of stuff sadly happens a lot in the industry. The same thing happened to the movie Robocop. The director originally was making a R rated film not PG-13. But the execs pulled the rug from under him too. So what you get instead is a movie with way to many cooks in the kitchen.

Look I'm not trying to make it sound like Universal is the bad guy. They have every right to have a say in the film. They payed for it after all and just want to see a return on their investment.

I just would like to see execs standing by the people they hired more often. They saw something in them in the beginning after all.

Like I said earlier the movie also falls on Carl. This was his first big movie. So maybe he just wasn't able to finish the task as much as he thought he would. He never managed a 100 million plus movie before. So it could have just been to big of a mountain to climb. So maybe he needed help on the film. So because of that it gave off negative vibes and indirectly messed with the movie.

Now I know it will then come as a shock to you but I would like to see him given another shot at a big film. Because now he will be better prepared for what's to come. So he will be able to take on the task and excel.

I personally would like to see him make a Green Lantern Corps movie. I even listed the reasons on this very site not that long ago.

I ACTUALLY THOUGHT IT WAS COOL...I COULD WATCH A SEQUEL BUT WITH A MODERN SPIN TO IT, KAI DID PROMISE HE'D LOOK FOR THAT GIRL..ZOOM TO PRESENT DAY SOLDIERS TURNED MERCENARIES...SOMETHING SORTA LIKE THAT..I DUNNO..

Thinking about renting this tomorrow.
