I thought we were debating if this movie was a blockbuster or not. I never tried to argue that Chris carried the film. Dude said he only had 2 huge films and I said no. Zero Dark is a huge film and he was in it. That movies success only helped him get the roles he got since then. If you deny that then I guess ur lost.
I'm saying that I wouldn't chalk that up to him. Being in a huge movie doesn't mean you're the reason they were a draw. I agree he's a star but I also think he needs to have more to it before he's christened the next one. I don't see Chris Pratt as the reason people went to see zero dark thirty was my point. Chastain was the main one in all of the marketing, along with bigelow and the story itself which people wanted to see. Even he's admitted that James gunn didn't want him for guardians and had to be convinced so I believe guardians is the reason he's getting what he's getting. And he's the reason he's the biggest part of the Jurassic world marketing but I'd also argue it's a franchise that doesn't need a "star" cause let's be real: the dinosaurs are the stars dammit
