      The teaser trailer I found all right. It was the full trailer that I thought absolutely awful.

    THANK YOU for giving a review that doesn't say this film is a talking point about feminism, race or politics and just called it a "meh" movie. All of the first reviews I saw on this movie were saying it was full of political talking points and all that, too many women, etc. Gah...can we just make movies (with mixed casts and creative teams) and have them be just as good OR NOT GOOD as all other movies without making it about anything OTHER than what the movie is TRYING to portray??

    • @rexthedog4
      @rexthedog4 6 років тому +2

      Juanita Harris they say that because of Ava. That's what she focuses on, politics. Usually people don't want that in their entertainment

    • @JuanitaHarrisMissHarrisinParis
      @JuanitaHarrisMissHarrisinParis 6 років тому +4

      I get it. Movies are escapism. And yes, Ava is a politically active person. But the reviews I saw had no basis for their words other than it was heavily female cast (which should not be an issue), that there were too few light skinned-ed individuals (which also should not be an issue), and other bullshit stuff to give the movie a negative review. I plan to see it. After the initial "DEY TOOK ERR JERBS" type of nonsense reviews, I can just take the movie for what it is in my eyes.

      Fruitvale Station was very good, yet heartbreaking.
      Creed was an outstanding film that respected the Rocky franchise while embracing the new name
      Black Panther was a film that a handful predicted was gonna be great, and it wound up being a stellar entry in the MCU.
      Ryan Coogler has been on a roll.

    Of course Disney would be the ones to ruin Ava Duvernay's good streak.
    I can tell this had way too much studio interference with "visuals and style" being pushed before substance. Which has sadly become more common in these recent live action Disney adaptations.

    • @ShakeSoft
      @ShakeSoft 6 років тому +40

      James Burgess I don't think that's fair with Disney, they have done a pretty good job with Star Wars and most MCU films, plus Pixar's constant success.

    • @jamesburgess2k
      @jamesburgess2k 6 років тому +40

      Steve Rogers They just own those properties, they don't have actual involvement besides hiring the head of the companies. They run independent from Disney Pictures company, the ones responsible for the recent, very good animated movies (non-pixar), but the not so great live action movies.

    • @InsaneAssassin24
      @InsaneAssassin24 6 років тому +16

      That sounds like the opposite of Disney honestly. This should have been in Disney's wheelhouse. Sweet, cute, heartfelt. Disney usually does that, I don't know if it's Duvernays fault, but I can't completely absolve her.

      This was one of my favorite fantasy novel series when I was a kid. Yes, I liked it better than Narnia and Lord Of The Rings. Go ahead and laugh, that mental image of all the people dressed the same, doing the same things, talking at the same time? Terrified the out of me. I also liked the idea of a "final battle" won by love instead of a laser fight. Looks like this one goes on "wait until it's On Demand", which is where I feared it was heading when the Christian aspects and much about the younger brother were suspiciously absent from the trailers (the younger brother is a big deal in the books).
      And yes, it's fantasy not science fiction. That's especially more obvious in the second & third books.

    I could so tell this would suck. It was just blatantly obvious throughout the trailer. "Aimless" is a good word for it, I remember it took a few watches to realize what this was about. Somehow, people were excited. I remember when I saw the first Valerian trailer, I saw the crash coming from miles away, yet people were hyped up for some reason, then same with Legend of the Sword, then this. No idea why. There's literally nothing exciting, interesting or captivating, except for the song and some visuals here and there.

    If a trailer doesn't grab me, I'm probably not gonna see the movie.
    The trailer for this movie, didn't have me biting at all. I don't know if it just looked uninteresting, or if it was appealing to a genre I just didn't care about.
    All I know is that there are some really dogshit movies out there that can still sell me based on a trailer. Even if I still end up walking out of the cinema thinking "I don't know why I expected Transformers 5 to be any less dogshit that the other 4 movies".

  • @ddaeng8_
    @ddaeng8_ 6 років тому +5

    Honestly I never was a fan of the books so when I saw they were making a movie...I didn’t have high hopes. This movie is like looking at pretty wedding cake and then when you take a bite you realize it’s burnt all the way through.

  • @deepwinter4263
    @deepwinter4263 6 років тому +13

    My wife is a HUGE fan of the novel. I went to see this movie with her and was practically dying from the horrible editing, pacing, dialogue and acting (visuals were great, but in this day and age great visuals are expected). When the movie FINALLY ended, I was dreading the inevitable conversation I was going to have with her and feared upsetting her by saying I didn't like it.
    Thankfully, she hated it just as much (if not more, because of all the changes and missing pieces)! Unfortunately for her, she was so hyped to see this movie that she previously scheduled a night with her friends to go see it next week... now she regrets doing that! XD

    @thez28camaroman 6 років тому +24

    I remember reading this book in 6th grade and hating it. Afterwards, I even wrote an essay on why no student should have to read it. Mind you, this many years ago, but if memory serves, it had something to do with the outlandish and downright confusing plot, which even simplified in the video still makes little to no sense; the unrealistic characters, especially the little boy being way too smart; and the anti-climactic ending in which the older sisters keeps stating "I love you" to free her brother from the giant brain. Look, I am all for crazy adventures, but if children have to read books about other dimensions, aliens/monsters and the power of will, give them Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, or Percy Jackson, or something that is far more entertaining in its esoteric or bizarre way. The book seemed like it was the fever dream of a Mary Sue type character who imagined a paradise where her distant/ estranged father came home, her little brother was respected for his smarts and her crush was actually into her.
    Again, it's been years, but I didn't see any value in reading the book then other than boredom and confusion, and I certainly don't see any value in it now. There are far better means to convey morals like "don't judge a book by its cover" or "embrace individuality".
    If I can take a guess, the movie probably stuck to the book relatively well.

  • @bamm86
    @bamm86 6 років тому

    I read the books (yeah its a series) and I was only ever excited for this movie beFORE I saw the first teaser. Everything you said in this review is exactly what I knew Disney was going to do with it. The books are dark, emotional and eerie and filled with awesome science. They're also very wondrous. Every detail is beyond intriguing. These CHILDREN are tasked to go through parallel universes and freaky dimensions. KIDS. The adults couldn't do it. The daughter used to work with her father on his theories so she knew all about what her dad might be going through. It was terrifying for them. He didn't leave them. He disappeared and was stuck somewhere in another dimension, helpless. That is terrifying for a kid to find out. I mean for FOUR YEARS your dad has been trapped somewhwere that nobody you know or have ever heard of knows anything about. They couldn't trust anything they saw or anyone they met. I knew from the trailers that Disney didn't capture that at all and I'm legit pissed the fuck off. For Disney to take this incredible story and turn it into that bubble gum crock of shit is just disgusting.

    The trailer was so cheery and bright but my memory of reading the book as a child was that it was pretty scary at times in the atmosphere of it all at least. It doesn't surprise me that the end product didn't quite excite audiences. If they took it more in the direction of something like that tv series "Stranger Things" I wonder if they could have saved it.

    I enjoyed the movie from the perspective of seeing one of my favorite childhood books come to life, but I agree that there was a lot to be desired. There was a a scene right near the end was cut out which was a good character moment for Meg, and would have drawn out the "thing" that happens to Charles Wallace and wouldn't have made the ending feel as rushed. Interestingly enough, movie Charles Wallace was pretty close to book Charles Wallace, including the "this is it, kids" line when they're about to leave Earth. I did appreciate some of the nods to things that were cut out, though I'm sure at least a couple of the references would have seemed pointless or would have been missed by anyone not familiar with the book.

    This is actually a remake. There was another one that was a TV-Movie that came out in 2003 that also didn't do as well. I honestly didn't know that until earlier today when I was at a DVD Store. I was looking around and saw it on one of the shelves . I was like " Wait, there's an original? Huh, I guess they're remaking everything nowadays." It was actually pretty ironic since the new one came out today.

    • @kathrynsinger3198
      @kathrynsinger3198 6 років тому +7

      Jerome Maida yea, but the problem is that those two book series were hard to adapt because they were so involved. The plots were very full and the stories spanned a longer length of time. LOTR/Harry Potter had too much good material while A Wrinkle in Time had too little. It's easier to to condense than build up for adaptions.

The book describes it to be a centaur like with wings. They went with a different form. Evil villain was comical in this movie. In the book he is darker character. There was another movie they did in 2003 that was closer to the book. I a feel like I like that one more.
