Movies that flopped, but should have been a hit

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

The A Team was good? nah I'm seriously asking I never seen it.


The Losers Flopped - kinda funny because looking back at it now this movie had an all star cast. Chris Evan's was hilarious in this

Both of those movies came out the same year and they were basically the same movie. The Losers came out in April and the A-Team came out in June.

In that Tom Cruise thread someone brought up The Edge of Tomorrow, and I was thinking it was so underrated
The movie was funny as fukk and had great action plus Tom Cruise played against type.


If the movie had been directed by James Cameron or Spielberg it might’ve been a hit

edge of tomorrow did not flop

before it was even released.

It seems like this thread is listing movies they think should have been huge but flopped and not saying the movie was actually good to begin with.

John Carter for example is not a good movie. Terrible lead character. It flopped because it wasn't good to begin with.

Stop.

Here's another one.
Equlibrium:



Everyone assumed it would be a low budget Matrix ripoff.

I saw this shyt on some marketing company previews you a movie shyt.
This shyt was so cold.
That the opening dark room scene of lore.
Even Before the cgi was even in this movie at all.
This movie rocked.
That opening scene before the cgi. I kind wish they just left the room dark like the marketing advance copy i saw.
As the originL scene just being all black aith no cgi. Is still nwxt level and i have never seen anyone make as good a definitive hero establishing shot in pitch black in my life.

This shyt right here is too underrated and needs way more praise.


Excellent movie.


Even before anything was added too.

Yup
They actually did right by the OG cartoon, but it still had its own flavor

All you gotta do is have don't stop believe'n in anything.
after that one goldbergs episode. Where they drive through the garage with that playing and i am sold.
Imma see this.

Especially if it is like ateam. Ateam was too underrated too.

That little period in movies was off tha chain in that era.
I remember it always being something next level to cop during bootleg everythang era.

The comedic gold of singing don't stop believe'n = unmatched

Throwing dummies gag and don't stop believe'n = comedic lol to death gold.

The Arrival with Charlie Sheen, nice mystery thriller about aliens

Movies like Fight Club and Blade Runner 2049 are too cerebral for the average movie going audience so I’m not surprised they flopped

Blade runner lives in lore as being the greatest after party aired visuals ever made.

As it strikes up this type of convo.

Example.

Man,....i was club'n joe.
At this after party after after hours like five six seven in the morning.
Till it ends at 11am.
Man, it was this movie playing. With crazy ass white bois.
In the future with white stocking caps and flying cars and shyt.
It had han solo in it.
Plus the police chief from miami vice. Was like this cool ass next level ass dude.
nikkaz swore you was buggin........


That is why bladerunner is bladerunner.

It is the greatest wtf conversation piece in after hours after party nightlife and movie history.

You knew an after party was next level.
if blade runner was playing on a large projector.
to a white sheet somewhere in the venue.

Crying Freeman is an underrated flick but I dont think it was ever released stateside. Plus there's only a handful of people who've heard of the anime.

Solid film and good acting by Bale. I didn't think it was a Matrix Ripoff

It was filmed kind of like something you'd see on the USA Network in the afternoon though.

They gave this film a different look in post i believe.
It does have that foreign action film on torrents look. Before action films were made. into an Only torrent movie style thing.
When i saw it originally.
It had this look to it that changed in post.

I still like what i saw originally. Than what's in the finished copy. Yet this movie is still next level.

not only a fantastic movie, but one of the best use of the 3D technology

This movie is basically Scorsese directing a Spielberg like movie
