This Can't Be Life - Tyler Perry's Alex Cross Already Getting A Sequel

[Stress Welker]

Critics have barely had a chance to savage Tyler Perry's debut in detective drag in Alex Cross, but—as has been proven time and again—critics shytting on Tyler Perry creates naught but the fertilizer in which a thousand Tyler Perry movies bloom. And so, on the eve of the film being poised to make back its relatively paltry $23 million budget, and driven by the twin creative engines of adequately meeting lowered expectations and spite, deals are already being finalized for Tyler Perry to star in another chapter of the James Patterson detective series. The sequel will be based on, and will likely be titled after, its second novel, Double Cross, presumably in which Alex Cross is partnered with a sassy, overweight black woman who looks just like him. "You can kiss my hot Cross buns!" she can say to serial killers, and then forensic-psychology stuff happens.

The first one is sitting at 15% on Rotten Tomatoes.

i wonder how much of that 15% is because the movie sucks or because the internet movie critics are racist....

Aww damn it's getting hammered by critics? I'm dissappointed. It looked good from the trailer with a Matthew Fox we've never seen before. Too bad.

I knew it was gonna be . shyt is gonna do numbers though.

Had they cast Idris Elba... dare I say it would actually look like a damn good action movie? The trailer isn't terrible... but everytime they show Perry it takes you right out of it.

damn i predicted this would be around 50% and have good word of mouth. seems like a classic "you know what movie actually wasn't that bad?" movie... but still, Tyler Perry was just ridiculous casting

I'd guess that at least 90% of those critics went in there with a clear bias and were prepped to shyt on that movie.

Same way they would do if Kevin James was playing Jason Bourne. Everybody doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt...

They kinda do. It's wrong to want a critic to critique something without a clear bias?

after watching the trailer. because i dont go with rotten tomato numbers. i do my own looksee. now, what i see is a situation where they may have actually cast the right guy for this film. IF T.perry is supposed to just be a regular working class dude that turns into a tough guy out of necessity. thats what it seems like. and he plays that role perfectly.
now granted like someone said, if my boy Idris was in it. it would be a blockbuster hit. You know why. because his TV show on the BBC "LUTHER" was a HIT. if you havent seen it. PLEASE do. you missed a good one.

now who i dont want to look at as a cop is the white dude. whats his name? i've seen him play that role so many times i'm sick of looking at him.

Its delusional and kinda silly to ask for. It also would probably make for some generic and worthless criticism. Everybody is biased but theres a difference between "I'm biased becuz I don't like action movies" and "I'm biased becuz I don't think you can act". The first one is about credibility, the second is just an honest opinion...which is the whole point of reading what a critic writes in the first place.

A critic should always be open minded. But you're resume is what it is...

People act like critics are priests or judges or some shyt. They're just people giving opinions. Take it or leave it...
