Best Movie Star

In the darkness of the night, Todd McCarthy, who contributed to The Hollywood Reporter, walked out of the Kodak Theater and kept rubbing his forehead with his hands. The movie he just watched was the worst movie of the summer so far. This movie is even worse than "Transformers", which was released on the Independence Day schedule last year.

Walking towards the gate of the Kodak Theater, Todd McCarthy's ears were full of the voices of the fans around him.

"Matthew is so handsome that he should play Superman!"

"It's still Matthew's **** Superman that looks interesting, the orthodox Superman is too rigid."

"It's very interesting, Matthew and Charlize Theron fought in the dark, and this battle is worth the fare."

"The special effects are so good, there are stars, there are special effects, such a film looks really cool!"

Listening to these words, Todd McCarthy shook his head. The audience is too easy to be deceived. They don't even know what a good movie is. Is it worth discussing?

Today's audience, the taste has become too strange, excellent, steady, slow-moving, and dramatic movies nobody cares about, such as "Iron Man", "Transformers" and "Superman Hancock" A movie like this is a big hit at the box office...

The misuse of stunts and commercial stars can devalue the experience in theaters and the movie itself.

He quickened his pace, broke away from the group of movie fans, and continued to stay surrounded by that group. He would definitely be infected by the vulgarity and stupidity of those people.

After picking up the car and driving home, Todd McCarthy couldn't wait to turn on his computer, ready to write a sharp film review.

His film review will inevitably be included in Rotten Tomatoes, so no matter what else, let's throw a Rotten Tomato for this "Superman Hancock" first.

"'Hancock for All' sucks: old-fashioned story, messy styling, rigid acting, and overused stunts!"

"There are too many superheroes active on the big screen, such as the superhero in the sky, the cool Batman in black, the jumping and jumping Spiderman, the X-Men who gang up... Compared with these heroes, tonight The release of "Superman Hancock for All" performed badly: Superman is sloppy in shape, has a grumpy personality, his superpowers are nothing more than old-fashioned invulnerability, and the preamble of the plot doesn't make sense... It's so bad that people can't help but ask: the audience really needs this Boring Superman?"

"This movie has a godlike beginning and a mortal end. Hancock's story is like watching two games: basketball players fighting on the football field."

“No one would be interested in seeing this film a second time. The alternative image of Hancock saving the city that he tried so hard to create at the beginning is basically nothing to do with the savior after 20 minutes, and the love triangle with Supergirl makes the film fall into Superman's love is irresistible, I almost thought it was a love story..."

Written here, Todd McCarthy was too lazy to continue, and directly gave an ultra-low score of two stars.

At the same time, Charles Rowan had just left the Kodak Theater, and when he watched the movie, his mind was basically not on the movie, but on "Green Lantern".

Matthew's casual joke last time reminded him that after consulting with Kevin Tesuhara, he convened a meeting with many people from Warner Bros. and DC Comics Film Department and Creative Department, and conducted targeted Research and market research have found that in the current rapidly changing social situation, using a black man as the male protagonist does have some very unique advantages.

For example, if someone dares to criticize the film at will, a big "racial discrimination" hat will be put on it...

The film can do something about racial conflict and freedom and equality. The media and the public are now eating this set.

As for the possible loss of audience caused by black protagonists, a black movie star who is very popular among the vast majority of white audiences can completely solve it.

The only problem is that there are too few black movie stars who have both box office appeal and appeal to white audiences. Looking at the whole of Hollywood, there is actually only one Will Smith.

Warner Bros. has already made preliminary contact with Will Smith. Will Smith's position is much worse than that of Matthew, and he is not so repulsive to superhero movies. If he is willing to take over this role, then according to his Features Appropriately modified script...

A black Green Lantern might be limited, but Will Smith's Green Lantern is sure to be popular.

After the post-screening press conference, Matthew walked out of the press room, joined Nina Dobrev, who was waiting in the front hall of the theater, and drove back to Beverly Hills.

On the way back, his mind was not on Nina Dobrev next to him, but on Charles Rowan's words - Warner Bros. thinking about the black Green Lantern?

Go back and ask someone to see if Warner Bros. has approached Will Smith...

According to his thinking, black male protagonists will not be particularly popular among audiences mainly composed of whites, but Will Smith is an exception. Since the 1990s and the new century, he has starred in many commercial films. Both sold out and were extremely popular with white audiences.

In addition, due to his appearance, Will Smith is very popular, but he is far from being a superstar. He has also faced a shortage of roles in the past two years. A production budget of 250 million US dollars Top productions should have a strong appeal to him.

The most critical part of this matter is whether Warner Bros. and DC Comics want to invite Will Smith as the male lead.

Unfortunately, he is not fit to come forward again.

Seeing that Matthew was in a trance, Nina Dobrev asked curiously, "What are you thinking?"

Matthew came back to his senses and smiled, "I was thinking, did you prepare a new move?"

"Of course," Nina Dobrev said. "I took some time to review floor exercises recently. You can try it later."

"Oh...I can't wait." Matthew deliberately made a slightly exaggerated voice.

Then, he and Nina Dobrev laughed heartily.

The Mercedes-Benz car turned into the gate of Horner Manor, and a crazy night had just begun.

This Independence Day weekend also kicked off. Among the films released this weekend with "Superman Hancock", the only large-scale film is "Kate Kitteridge: The Secret of an American Girl". The film, starring Will Smith's daughter Willow Smith, is not a threat to "Superman Hancock" at all.

The only one that can really compete with "Superman Hancock" in the Independence Day schedule is actually "Robot Wall-E" by Pixar Studios.

The animated feature was released last week, just in time for the Independence Day holiday to enter its second North American screening weekend.

The competition between the two sides was divided on the first day of the large-scale release of "Superman Hancock". With the advantages of the first week of release and Matthew's huge box office appeal, "Superman Hancock" was easily defeated that day. "Robot Wall-E".

"Superman Hancock" hit 3,600 theaters in North America at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, and it grossed $7.8 million that night, far exceeding the $6.5 million that "Iron Man" received in advance theaters Dollar.

However, there is still a huge gap of $1 million between this film and the $8.8 million early-stage box office created by "Transformers", which was released on the "Independence Day" schedule on July 4 last year.

This gap is very normal, and no one in the industry finds it strange, because it is the inevitable gap between the original film and the adapted film.

Nowadays, more and more films in the North American film market have box office of over 100 million in the first week, but so far, there is no non-sequel or non-adapted original film that has exceeded the $100 million mark in its first week in North America.

Hollywood's neglect of original films is arguably a market-based choice.

Like the script of "Superman Hancock for All", that is, "He Comes Tonight", it has been ignored by many Hollywood film companies for more than ten years, and it also reflects Hollywood's attitude towards originality.

Compared with "Superman Hancock", which has no basis for any works, "Transformers" achieved such a high score only after it has stabilized the preferences of generations around the world through its long history of animation and toys. ~www.readwn.com~ Even before there were no movies, "Iron Man" was far more famous than "Hancock", so it is said that "Superman Hancock" can achieve such a high box office, It's not easy, maybe the audience really needs an unusual superhero too much.

According to the official news from Warner Bros. that night, proud of the film's excellent early-stage box office, the total number of theaters showing "Superman Hancock" will increase to 4,365 from the next day.

And in this schedule, "Superman Hancock" will also be in the light of Friday, that is, July 4th is the holiday of American Independence Day. Many market institutions have released predictions that "Superman Hancock" will be released. In the three days of Independence Day, including the weekend, it hit the North American box office of 80 million US dollars.

The film's biggest rival this weekend, "Robots" closed Thursday with $7.6 million, a $200,000 shy of "Hancock for All."

Although the film was shown in its second week, "Superman Hancock" was released from 7 p.m. that night.

Now the North American film market is very mature, and there are a series of channels for the media, film critics and ordinary audiences to rate. "Superman Hancock", like Matthew's films in the past, has been neglected among film critics, and the audience is relatively good.

On Friday, the film's Rotten Tomatoes freshness fell like a cliff, and it fell straight to the bottom - a measly 43 percent freshness.

"Although the plot is relatively cliché, the picture is still very strong, and the actors acted well, so this movie has a good impression on me."

The reviews of the film on social networking sites are not bad.

The film also showed a high opening.
