I'm pretty sure it will outgross the first one.
You are wrong, this will be at least a mild hit.
Yeah, watchable movie (by the numbers) but some scenes look like shit.
Also the bridge scene where they try to run him over with a truck reminded me of terrible CGI from the early 2000s... What Lies Beneath and Along Came a Spider used similar looking effects.
The director has been bad mouthing Amazon saying this movie deserved to be released in theaters... but they didn't really upgrade much storywise... I can't rate this movie more than a 5 or 6 at most.
Definitely deserved going straight to streaming.
Even though it's owned/produced by Disney I don't think doing a revival of a Fox Kids animated show that was cancelled almost 30 years ago was at the top of their priorities.
Better than no revival at all.
Not talking about this project in particular... but I don't get the appeal either... makes me think I'm just getting old/er and starting to be out of touch.
I saw the clip on youtube... it seems like he just announced the winner without presenting the other nominated movies before opening the envelope... is that what happened?
Had to look it up... I haven't watched this movie in so long.
It is my understanding that even if you don't have sex with someone, you can get in lots of trouble for just touching someone/anyone minor or adult - even worse if its with sexual intentions.
In Lester's case in particular during those last 20 minutes...
We are watching a 42 year old man and a 17 year old girl.
The movie takes place in Chicago, Illinois.
Assuming that the events during the last 20 minutes in the movie take place in the real world.
Lester offers Angela a beer - she is 17... that is a misdemeanor in Chicago.
All other sexual interactions (the kiss, caressing, blouse unbuttoning) would 100% be illegal between a 42 year old and a 17 year old... almost anywhere else in the US.
Except that American Beauty takes place in Chicago where the age of consent is 17 and "Angela" despite being a minor is that age and can consent.
Now, morally - most people would disapprove of a man of Lester's age being involved with a 17 year old, but I don't think he would get in trouble as long as Angela maintains that it was consensual (everything depends a lot on her and what she claims happened - regardless of her age) if authorities are involved.
He would be in deep trouble if the age of consent was 18 though... there was some sort of predatory sexual assault and I'm sure Lester would be going to jail for at least a handful of years.
What did he do? Fantasize about her?
I guess not criminal then since that's out of his control, involuntary.
Yeah, this makes sense when thinking about the movie again. Thanks.
I'm watching it right now on Amazon... I'm just a casual movie fan with no knowledge of the technical part... but to my eyes this does look like sh!t
Idk if it takes some time to get used to... but so far I don't like it.
I guess it is borrowing from the style used in the Into-The Spiderverse movies... but looks like cheaper / unfinished?
Would be a lot more if he hadn't taken a break from Hollywood and also his divorce.
I saw this last week and was kinda upset... graphics look like from 2012 and wish it had been 3rd person instead of 1st person. I love everything Indy but this feels so cheap.
I couldn't finish it... will try again though.
It's ridiculous and fun... very entertaining if you come in with the right mindset.
Wonderful movie.
I consider Se7en to be like a 'spiritual companion' to it.

Reading the replies I think OP is actually a troll and we all fell for it.
I know there's a lot of criticism about spending on iphones... but I buy either every year or every other year a brand new iphone pro max... they do give a good $ back on trade-in, so it's not really +1000... you only end up paying like half... I can afford to spend $500 x year on a new phone... not a big issue.
This year besides the trade in my sister also had a $150 Apple Gift Card she got when she bought her laptop for college, which she gave me because she was not planning on purchasing anything else... so it was even better.
At the time of filming Leave The World Behind (Spring 2022), Julia Roberts's youngest biological son Henry was 14... so not much of a stretch being the mother of a 13 year old.
My mom is about his age... early 60s... she also had cancer (not throat) and after chemo and all the therapy, surgeries... she is not the same either. Terrible.
