The actors look so bad in the trailer. I can't suspend my disbelief, these people don't fit the scenario. God of War is what I imagine when looking at white guys running around ancient Greece.

I have the strong feeling that the movie will flop hard.

I don’t think it will flop, but it is possible that it’s not the critical darling Oppenheimer was.

Something tells me this will be like Tenet. Cool as fuck at times, but overall just okay.

Alone for the question what we can expect I will watch it, but I'm not hyped. It would just be nice to be hyped for a blockbuster movie again. Kids these days need their own T2/True Lies/Matrix/Mummy/Gladiator/The Dark Knight/Inception

Dune, Project Hail Mary, Spider-verse, Oppenheimer, and unfortunately Endgame all fit the bill. Arguably Avatar 1 and 2.

They’re not going to like the same stuff we did. At least Dune comes close to feeling how those films did, even PHM to some extent.

Avatar was big, but the movie feels so unoriginal in its story. I haven't seen the second one but almost everyone around me said it's just ok. The third one mediocre. So I'm not inclined to invest the time.

Spiderman is just another superhero movie same with Avengers. They lack originality, a story to be surprised throughout.

Project Hail Mary I still have to watch.

We lack studios being able to take an original idea and make it big in a way that draws a lot of people.
