Antoine Fuqua has to be the most overrated directer right now

[Red Shield]

yes... agreed.... how is he over rated when he not even put high on that pedestal like that. No on really be checking for him like that.....

But now Edger Wright tho?

Antoine is overrated? How, you never even hear people talk about him.
Hell I didn't even know that coming The Magnificent Seven flick was being directed by him.


People who were following ant-man and Wright's fans are the only people checking for Edger Wright. Outside of that.. never hear any body talking about him either.

Personally I think dude most likely peaked with Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

 

[TheGodling]

His last two films were very divisive and now he's doing a live action Peter Pan

He's attached to writing a live action Pinocchio. And if by 'divisive' you mean "acclaimed but not as much as his previous work", sure. He still shyts all over every overrated pretentious boring sack of shyt you stan.

b*stards of The Party, Training Day, and King Arthur, tho:

his last 2 movies got way better marks by the critics than the audience

master: 85 vs 60
inherent vice 73 vs 53

Making unconventional movies scares off plebs, no surprises there.

That's why the plebs all stan Nolan because he tells them exactly what to think of his movies in his movies.

I could see M7 doing pretty good business. It has the reunion of Denzel, Ethan Hawke, and Fuqua but it also has Chris Pratt. That dude's a money printer right now.

 

[duncanthetall]

Yeah I think most people understand he's an average director who is preetty much living off of Training Day

 

[Jazzy B.]

Fuqua's got another one in Southpaw, Forest and Jake's performances

 

[kingdarius]

dude makes piff in my eyes love the way he shoots action scenes and the fact that almost all his movies are rated r is another thing i like. That being said he's not even on anyones list of top directors so this thread is pointless

Basically. He's rated right where he needs to be. Competent director who can shoot action very well but he's no standout cat. There's nothing he does that makes me say "this is an Antoine Fuqa joint" he's serviceable

Can we get this moron banned from the film room?

Every time he posts brings down the quality of this forum.

Inherent vice was incoherent

 

[Animal House]

Don't think he's overrated seems like he's at where he should be, I will say this though, Brooklyn's Finest was pure piff idc what the reviews say.

Exactly. That movie is dope as fukk

 

[CM_Burns]

Equalizer was bland, Southpaw's good though.
