People who don't try to be funny are the ones who succeed at being funny

When I was a kid I used to see him in sci-fi reruns.

Exactly. What most people fail to recognize is that Nielsen was playing against type when he did Airplane!

My thought exactly

Yeah, it's okay to give people like him a chance. Everyone can have a sense of humor

Given how sensitive people are these days it won't be naked it'll be modestly dressed.

Pamela Anderson is still trying to convince us that she can act 🙄🤦‍♀️

Right!

A movie like that should never be touched

WTF!!!!!

So is that hopeful, or...?

Yeah, and Shane Black was in Predator then made the Predator. Sometimes, you should know enough to let alone.

@@gottfriedosterbach3907 He's not directing the movie. I just find it funny that everyone's complaining it has John Wick vibes when The Crow inspired John Wick to begin with.

First major use of CGI to replace an actor's face with someone else's.

John Wick 4 was a dud, that final fight scene going up the stairs was a complete joke, it didn't work at all. John Wick 3 was not as good as JW2 and JW1 was a masterpiece of its genre. So, I feel Chad has gone downhill greatly since JW1, this doesn't auger well for his next movie. JW4 was truly an awful movie from beginning to end, it was so bad, only the diehard fans could say anything good about it. History will prove me right, JW4 will be regarded as a bad movie.

I'll give it a chance.

Have you seen Neeson on "Life's too short" he's hilarious as an over serious character

@@rodscarbrough2337 Me too.

It would be like when Steve Martin portrayed Inspector Clouseau.

@@Aurochhunter A great comedic actor taking on a great comedic character and totally failing.

i think those ads are mainly choosen by an A.I. / random. It just recognized that this video mentions "Garfield" therefore it chose an ad matching

@@rgerber thank you for explaining away a joke.

I had the same ad! I do sometimes wonder if we all see the same.

I used Brave and haven't seen a commercial in years on KZfaq... What us that like?

I think Pratt is just overused at this point, we all had the same reaction to Mario, now it’s just getting ridiculous

Rachel Zelger ruined her career before it has truly began.

@@David-dc3nk Don't forget that mass murder Barbie is now a bigger box office poison than Rachel Zelger .

I think that got shelved (Thank God!) The quote from Disney was "indefinitely". (I think. it's been several months and I have tried to wipe that monstrosity from my brain!)

Gal Gadot currently is a far more toxic name than Rachel Zegler .

@@David-dc3nk And now Gal Gadot is another reason why the movie might be problematic.

Lol 😆 But yes, nobody asked for a remake of The Crow.

Bill's a great actor but I definitely do not see that individual playing that part it just doesn't work Brandon Lee made it his own. If you watch how badly the second and third installment of the original crow did It's pretty obvious that series died with Brandon Lee.

@@Arctic_1975 Yeah, I refuse to watch the sequels or TV show. But I totally believe you. They could never really replace him.

​ @FoggyBadger tv show wasn't bad, actually.

Ya, the look is kinda 90's Goth looking. And not in a good way.

yep

It totes doesn’t look like Barely Legal ~

Yep I'd say Garfield will be fine. Hey, maybe Pizza Goldfish is the perfect snack for eating while watching it.

This channel does get it wrong sometimes. They thought Puss n Boots: The Last Wish would bomb because of the poor receptions to Shrek 3 and 4 and the fact that The first Puss in Boots movie is not held in as high esteem as the first Shrek or How to Tame Your Dragon or Kung Fu Panda. Yet The Last Wish was one of the biggest surprises ever in how great it was.

@@jimmyboy7817 To be fair, I don't think anyone could predict how well The Last Wish would turn out to be. The trailers didn't excite most people and it was a years-late sequel to a spin-off to a franchise than ran out of steam years ago. It had everything going against it but somehow managed to capture lightning in a bottle.

This aged like milk...

It had a comparatively small budget. The studio has already sold it to Netflix …so it’s already broken even ( as I type this on Monday evening)

you know there was a lot of them, right?

Sadly, there were several reboots, copying almost everything from the original and diluting the effects of the story. These reboots, and the almost non--stop Spiderman reboots, have given me grave doubts about Hollywood's ability to create and invest in original storylines.

@@lfcbpro I know there were a lot of 1990s movies which billed themselves as "Crow 2" and the like but they are abominable.

@@zimriel wow yeah, they were beyond bad. The first was pretty much perfect, but the follow ups were just a crime, lol.

That would require Hollywood "creatives" to come up with something original, which is clearly beyond their powers.

"herrr derrr animation is for kids derr....." - braindead Hollywood retards apparently -

Honestly would have revived traditional animation had Disney tried at all to secure the rights for it. Universal might not be the right studio for this movie.

Warner Bros. claimed that they would be making animated films of Septeimus Heap once Harry Potter ended. Now, thirteen years later, not a single Septeimus Heap film has been released.

@@matthewcole4753 Disneyfilm isn't interested in traditional methods, even when they boasted that their CG movie Wish was "traditional". Give it to Sylvain Chomet or Ari Folman if you want traditional.

Definitely a stepping stone for his career among the other two films mentioned. Eddie was built, not made. Never broke.

BHC put him over the top..he became mega after BHC, 48 and TP put him on the map for sure but super stardom didnt happen till BHC.

so huge hes basically been replaced by Kevin Hart and Chris Tucker and Chris Rock within the course of 10 years, they act the same, so he wasn't really special. Trading places was interesting, but I wouldn't ever say those two movies made him huge.

@@ravinraven6913 Eddie Murphy at one point was the biggest star on the planet, 1984 onwards was pretty much his time. He is also very much still in demand, can you say the same for either Chris, or any of the others who have tried to replace him? Martin Lawrence, Damon Wayans, Bernie Mac, Tommy Davidson, Jamie Foxx, none of whom captured what Murphy has, Will Smith is close, and even he has some turkeys.

Considering how many also-ran cop movies he's made not called "Beverly Hills Cop" but tried to ween off its success, coming out with a 4th sequel doesn't seem that farfetched.

Leslie Nielson was picked for AIRPLANE due to being a serious dramatist, just as many other serious actors were picked for that film. Police Squad was released in 83, The Naked Gun in 88 - He'd already proven his comedic chops when he got the role of Frank Drebbin! He was also significantly YOUNGER than Liam Neeson who is 71, Nielson was only 67 when he made Naked Gun 3 in 94! Neeson was picked because he's a big name - If they were going to even attempt this they'd have been far better off with David Duchovny, Colin Firth or Antonio Banderas who are all 63 and have all shown talent for comedy!

He's funny in the movie Gun Shy, @@franohmsford7548 Granted the tone of its humor is much more subdued, though.

My entire group stood up and walked out of TLJ when Luke tossed the lightsaber over his shoulder. I'm talking about 80 people walking out of the theater en masse. Disney Star Wars ceased to exist to me at that moment.

At this point in time I just want it to go to a galaxy far, far away... and stay there.

Andor is amazing.

I still had a great time with the newer movies. Why are Star Wars fans so freaking rabid?

​@@witchdoctorteepoStar Wars fans who still are mad about the sequel trilogy seemingly being bad movies just need to stop and move on.

That was funny

You get ads?

@@Clownboy15 yeh I did.

@@GibsonHReviews I forgot those were a thing on KZfaq. I use the app a lot listening to podcasts and music, so I pay for premium so I can play it with the screen off or switch between apps and still have it playing in the background. The one feature I liked the best was playing it with my screen turned off. Saves on battery life. It’s been totally worth it for me!

you get ads? that sucks

Let's just be open. Remakes/reboots/live-action remakes and decades-later sequels are failing. I know writers cost money, but originality will help things.

The reason they are failing is because disney is refusing to try any thing original

@@metheus108 Remakes have been a hallmark of Hollywood for nearly a hundred years. The Maltese Falcon was a remake of a lesser known 1931 film, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde had A DIZEN ADAPTIONS BY 1941. The problem now is that generally bad writing. Coupled with wokism, have left Hollywood creatively, and soon to be financially bankrupt.

Turning one of their most iconic villain songs into a half-length spoken word poem that was half over before you even realise that it had started was a terrible idea. They obviously shoe-horned it in after the negative backlash to their announcement that they wouldn't have it in the film, but they couldn't even do that right.

"Garfield" has done pretty well. It was ho-hum during its early years, but then it became VERY funny during the mid-'80s, when the tone shifted from satirical to cartoon zany. In the mid-'90s, however, Davis seemed to stop caring about it much, and the stories became not only boring but practically nonexistent. The strip still gets a chortle out of me now and then, but for the most part it's even less interesting than "Dilbert" - and that is saying something. An entire generation of kids has now grown up not thinking Garfield is a cool character. As with "The Simpsons," it's time to just let "Garfield" end.

@@SeasideDetective2 Garfield was my favorite growing up in the 90’s - I loved the tv adaptation, especially the Christmas special on the arbuckle farm. I just think the marketing ploy makes the endless adaptations make more sense

I had wondered as a youngster how much effect that had on Bill Watterson's legendary refusal to license C&H for anything at all. Mind you, that was pre-internet times, so all I could do was ask myself... but I didn't know anyway. I always wanted a stuffed Hobbes. This older version of me is glad to have never had one.

Ridiculously stupid. Garfield started in 1976. Nobody back then was thinking about merchandising.

Yeah I felt like the reasons given here for whyt he Garfield film would bomb make no sense. A real reason would be less of actual Garfield in the film than one would like. But this is kind of like Mickey Mouse, it doesnt have to be true to the comic strip to sell.

That shit ain't even running on fumes anymore... For a LONG TIME.

Haha right it isn't running out of steam....it already RAN out lol

I'm surprised it's not running on solar panels and an EV battery.

If was revamped as steampunk, I'd actually watch it.

just waiting for fast XVI where they are zooming around on mobility scooters

Or "what fan-base hasn't been milked lately?"

that was like 5 years ago, they really have to scrape to get anything good. Specially with multiple daily videos, so are you surprised? if so, why are you still here? they are pandering to the lowest common denomination and here you are....so you make them think you like it by watching it...

I believe it's the same with Lloyd Bridges. Also Neilson was 58 when he switched over to comedy so yeah your right give him a fucking chance lol

Not only that, he has been in 2 comedies and his dry humor is perfect for that parst!

eh no thanks, not for me. I didn't like Airplane and the last 100 spoof movies that came out recently bombed, we just don't care about spoof movies. That's the type of stuff we see at school plays. If I want to see a lame movie, I will do that. But if I want something great right away, I will chose not to see something that looks so very disappointing you do you, some people like garbage. Some people don't notice it's garbage until others peel off that golden candy wrapper to show a melted moldy chocolate egg under neath the gold.

Also woke fatigue!

Invincible and The Boys would agree. I've moved from Superhero movies to Anime because unlike movies Anime is not crap.

honestly, Id rather take the Rocks gritty take than what they will inevitably release.

That Bambi SNL skit was one of the few things The Rock acted well in...

my first experience with Neeson was Next of Kin as Patrick Swayze's Kentucky Cousin (Brother?) and then Darkman.. (although I didn't know it at the time -- I didn't know him by Name until Schindler's List and recognized him in Hindsight even then 'Taken' and his Direct to Video work felt like an active attempt to distance himself from the 'Awards Bait' Drama that he seemed to do for much of the 90s .

@@TJ52359 Darkman was the shit, hands down. It's too bad Neeson wasn't in the sequels, but I can't give Arnold Vosloo any hate because at least we got more Darkman out of it.

Huh, shades of Alec Guinness. Also had his start in comedy - I can recommend "Lavender Hill Mob".

Krull. 😎

@whiskeyvictor5703 You know, it was on TV all the time when I was a kid, but I forgot he was even in Krull.

Frank was a “hard boiled” police detective Neeson can do that

@@carltontaylor6500 my point exactly, it’s not a comedic roll, it’s a straight roll surrounded by crazy

well the trailer looks like the gay joker let him have his fun

I see the logic

Oh, actor name alliteration is TIGHT.

It's not a musical, this has been corrected by the director as a quote taken out of context.. but you know.. got to make a list somehow.

I feel it's either going to be great, or end up in the realm of "so bad it's good".

I haven't been keeping up with the Joker 2 news, but what if the musical aspects are some kind of fever-dream sequence? That could work really well.

It could be the next Dancer in the Dark, which was phenomenal and sinister as fffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

I know it won't be a 10 out 10. It's got Lady Gaga in it. That's worse idea than putting Anya Taylor-Joy in a MadMax movie.

I haven't read the comics so I could be WAY off base, but I didn't think it was anything to do with The Devil?

@@DavidGowers He returns to the world of the living on Halloween night with super powers? The "Devil" isn't named specifically but the supernatural is obviously referenced even if that reference remains intentionally vague.

@@jeptoungrit9000 'the supernatural' isn't the sole domain of Satan/Lucifer/The Devil, though.

It’s Crowin’ time!

I just saw the mini clip at the beginning of this video, and from that I thought there was a competing version of the Joker set to come out. At least I wasn't right... but that's about the same as being happy your sandwich doesn't have two pounds of live maggots in it.

@@majorgear1021 And then he crow'd all over the place!

it didn't do good, I have no idea what movie that even is. But compared to their budget, they made 152m which really isn't great. So it to me is a flop. You can make money and still be a flop. Not a single person around me has even mentioned it, it sounds bad. I will never watch it. But this is their opinion, if you disagree why are you here...do you need to be told what to do and what to think?

is it a copyright issue that they can't put spider man with venom ?

@@rodscarbrough2337 I don’t know.

They put these cheesy movies on Netflix to save the 'Stars' from the embarassment of the box office results being public. Did you watch "You People"? It was awful. Or Atlas or The Mother with JLo?

@@daveclark8337 I actually enjoyed The Mother and Atlas. In fact, Atlas reminded me of super robot and mecha anime...

I would argue that GArfield is the tye of character that a movie featuring him will not suffer at the box office due to departure from canon. It might still struggle, I dunno, but not for that reason.

@@kipolem53 I feel like what is being forgotten is that Garfield has had 2 cartoons since the 1980's and many TV specials. The first cartoon that aired from the late 1980's to mid 1990's, did deviate from the comic strip but also simultaneously took the beloved overweight feline on many crazy and outlandish adventures. I believe the second cartoon from the 2000's also did that as well. So I think a lot of parents, who were children during the time when the Garfield and Friends cartoon was in syndication, are going to take their kids to watch this movie simply because they remember the cartoon very fondly. The movie may not do gangbusters but it will likely be in it for the long haul and will stick around in theaters for at least half of the summer before it hits streaming platforms. So I see the movie at least breaking even before it leaves theaters and then make up the rest of money in DVD and streaming sales.

Don't. They might take it as a challenge. Who knows, now they might want to explore what happens if Jim and Liz get into a raging custody battle... over a cat..

​@@stevekirkpatrick1612 one gets Garfield and one gets Ody 😂

Hell yeah, with Lorenzo Music as Garfield!

loved it too every Saturday morning Garfield and friends

Isn't that what Leslie Nielson basically did?

I learned that way before with the Naked gun films and other comedy films, he take serious or villain roles. I was surprised that he one of the many actors can work really well to play opposites by character or tone, just like how many once believed Micheal Keaton won’t be taken seriously as Batman.

The writing is gonna be what makes or breaks the Naked Gun reboot. Liam Neeson is quite capable of being funny but if the writers give him bs, it won't be good.

I read somewhere that Leslie nielson was almost completely humorless and didn't get any of the jokes. he was a perfect straightman because he thought the whole thing was stupid and unfunny and simply did as instructed...then was genuinely surprised by the success

Rest in Peace to Brandon but his death is not a reason for creators to not take a stab at The Crow again. It was a comic before it was a movie and if someone wants to adapt it they should be able to.

It was full of blanks. The metal that was in the barrel (for safety) broke loose and killed him. I remember that night watching the news and them reporting he'd been shot only to report 15 mins later he was dead.

_The Crow_ had multiple sequels and a TV series, all of which rode the success of the Brandon Lee film. No idea why this one entry is suddenly crossing a line.

Probably because some people weren't ok with what has been shown in the trailer, i'd guess...

They probably thought "eh, close enough."

Sure, The Last Dance is as safe as Transformers: The Last Knight

I mean any venom movie is a masterpiwce compared to the las knight. Far more entertaining than the last trash. ​@RayMcElroy50

@@raf686 And far dumber too

@RayMcElroy50 not even close. But you continue to love the last knight more which I still don't know what made you bring up the last knight either.

@@raf686 I brought TLK because of Transformers Despite being an awful franchise, it made a fortune, so by the producers followed the same logic and believed that TLK was a safe bet, just because it was Transformers. But instead of being just another hit at the box-office, it became the lowest-grossing movie of Bay's saga

I tried to read that book. I felt it was way too serious and dreary. I guess I was spoiled by having heard the musical first and was expecting something like that. I got about two thirds of the way through before I just trashed it.

Given how far the musical veers from the book, and the fact that the book doesn't align at all with the Wizard of Oz timeline, mixing these will cause a tonal and narrative mess. I was hoping a film adaption would fix the pacing of the second act but any conceivable fix would not support an entire film. I think production is worried though. Marc Platt's last two musicals (Dear Evan Hanson and CATS) were disasters, precisely because they didn't address the known issues and instead went for neopotism and spectacle. They've announced a behind-the-scenes TV special that airs before the movie releases. Seems kind of desperate after all the promo they've done. In hindsight they probably shouldn't have cast two leads known for breaking up marriages in a story focusing on selfless acts for friendship. I was so excited when they announced but since the cheating scandal, there's no way I'm going to pay to see Ethan Slater smirk for 2 hours in two different sittings.

I grew up with Garfield comics. But as an adult, garfield is worse than Mondays. Definitely should be only for children, not man children. It's like people forgot that when they grow up, they are supposed to stop watching children stuff and actually grow up. Maybe it's because their parents haven't been around to let them know they are acting like a child, lord knows strangers saying it sounds more as an insult, even if it is not. But then here I am watching Dragonball anime. So I definitely didn't fully grow up despite being in my 30s, but that doesn't stop me from seeing the truth, which makes us a bit insane to be polite about it.

@@ravinraven6913imagine being so miserable that you believe that only children can enjoy classics, or cartoons. There is no age limit on enjoying anything, especially something that brought us joy as children. Get back in touch with your inner child, while you watch your dragon ball z.

I hope that Garfield outperforms Wicked because screw that overrated SJW CGI fest.

I don't see why Garfield is on a list like this. IF would make more sense. If people can tolerate Seth McFarlane ninja turtles, then then can watch this.

they all sucked, all those movies blows. You guys will pay money to watch some one eat garbage. Society really has been dumbed down haven't they.

Me too

Having seen the theatre production of Wicked in London, I can tell you that a single movie would work just fine; after all, there are many other films that have long shots of the setting with little to no dialogue (LOTR), have been 2.5 hours long (again, LOTR), and have used a mixture of dialogue and songs to tell the story (Les Miserables). I'm actually excited to see the film when it releases in the cinema, and I'd like it to do well personally - given the success of Les Miserables (which is also a film adaptation of a play), they should be able to do it justice.
