A true Adlerian.
This is one of the most overrated franchises imo.
Russel Crowe saved gladiator, he needs help.
I’m optimistic for this one, visually it looks stunning. Can’t wait to see it in Imax
Scott knows how to make a film look great, but a lot of his instincts make the movies worse. Prometheus is a horrible movie that doesn’t fit the story he’s trying to tell, Napoleon was a mess of a film. The Martian was boring and skipped most of the book for no reason and changed the ending from the book making it ridiculous(good sound track though)
And what is his obsession with hiring an actor and covering them in prosthetics to the point where you don’t know who it is and they can barely perform? He did it in Prometheus with Guy Pearce and with Jared Leto in House of Gucci.
