Is Aaliyah and Jet Li the most unrealistic movie couple in history?

[Khalil's_Black_Excellence]

I did see this in theaters and it was a pretty bad movie, despite everything it had. Just like a cliched thriller, without much real style or sense of self.

I thought the opposite on that it was all style and little substance. The sense of self thing tho...eh...maybe. As others have said, the movie was perennially a 2000's style of movie and it did have that slew of other movies right behind them that was extremely similar in style, tone, subset of actors, etc.

Better way to phrase that, was it wasn't stylish or deep enough to establish it's self. It was, as you note, a very very formulaic type of movie, lets throw in an R&B star, an Asian star, riding the wave of mid to late 90's Asian cinema, Jackie Chan, John Woo, and Jet Li. Lets throw in a rap star, DMX, and a rap soundtrack.

It doesn't have the visuals of a movie like Only God Forgives or Belly or the grit of something like Sugar Hill, or Above the Rim, it was a lot closer to Exit Wounds lol

but it's been 20 years since I last saw

Exit Wounds was another one of it's copies, so...

Angelina Jolie and her husband in Salt

No way Angelina's fine ass would be with that nerd dude who studies spiders for a living

I remember watching this in the theater.

Wait for it




I rest my case.

Was batman suppose to be some kind of homosexual icon?

 

[Cornholio]

i'm convinced natalie portman is a closet dike in real life. She never has any chemistry with her male leads in any of the films shes done.
She need to just play a lesbian in all her future roles.

hahahaha oh man I always thought something was weird with her.

You think none of the Batman actors had chemistry with their love interests?

 

[VoxSphere74]

There's a few of these 2000s-ish mixed race movies where the leads don't hook up and it's pretty obvious the producers didn't think it would fly with audiences.

Will Smith in I, Robot with Bridget Moynahan

And Will in Hancock with Charlize Theron

I meant all the women were attractive, except Maggie Gyllenhal. She didn’t fit the physical role of the most desirable bachelor’s love interest.

Ohhhh, ok.
