Universal also pushed back Warcraft to June 10th 2016 in this announcement of films :-:.
can we please stop the trend of amazing bad movies and amazingly bad sequels to those movies. fuck, everything is getting a sequel, especially for shit that doesn't deserve it.
There is two reasons why this shouldn't happen Fast and Furious 7 ended the series on a good note, and it shouldn't be extended any longer. For Fifty Shades of Grey, it just sucks.
[QUOTE=Tmaxx;47591385]can we please stop the trend of amazing bad movies and amazingly bad sequels to those movies. fuck, everything is getting a sequel, especially for shit that doesn't deserve it.[/QUOTE] I wouldn't exactly call the Fast&Furious franchise bad overall. Cheap thrills sure, but not outright horrible. Plus Vin Diesel is awesome Fifty Shades can go die though.
I thought Fifty Shades was horribly received? I might have kicked ass opening weekend, but that'll happen when you have a high-budget adaptation of a massively popular book. But, since every review I read about it claimed that it was a total flop, a sequel seems doomed to fail. Fast and the Furious makes sense, at least. They're dumb movies, but they don't have to be smart. They're high octane popcorn flicks that people will reliably return to see sequels of just because they're simple and entertaining. You don't need a compelling story or hard-hitting dialog when you've got cars drifting through convenience stores, or whatever.
I watched Fast and Furious 7. Never seen any other FnF. If the movie lasted a bit more than one hour it'd be fine, but 137 fucking minutes? Way [I]too much[/I]. The sillyness gets drowned by the boringness.

Fifty Shades of Grey 2: Even More Greyer
[quote]"Fifty Shades Darker" will be released on Feb. 10, 2017[/quote] they should have called it fifty-one shades of grey
Fifty Shades glorifies abuse. Why is this going to be a sequel? Fast and Furious is just stupid with shit acting and shit special effects. The only good things are the cars.
I thought the guy actor walked off the set for sequels to Fifty Shades?

Wait don't they always say like "Yeah one last ride!" to each other in like every furious movie? :v:
[QUOTE=orcywoo6;47591780]Wait don't they always say like "Yeah one last ride!" to each other in like every furious movie? :v:[/QUOTE] Part of the bad acting and story

I didn't even watch fifty shades of gray anywhere, even for free, I wouldn't watch it.
I actually watched 50 shades. Well, half of it. The only film I walked out of cinema from.

[QUOTE=kweh;47591901]That bad? Damn I must see it, but I hate walking out on movies. It feels like I've been cheated on, but worse.[/QUOTE] I saw some of it. I was like wtf am I watching. It's a really bad movie.

[QUOTE=DoktorAkcel;47591865]I actually watched 50 shades. Well, half of it.

[QUOTE={TFS} Rock Su;47592029]Basically porn but without nudity?[/QUOTE] They scaled it down even further from that.
they should cross over Fifty Shades of Fury

Those kinds of movies are dirt cheap to make, no stars, no big name director, no huge special effects. It's money in the bank. I'm actually surprised it's going to take two years to make another one. The momentum might be lost by then.

[QUOTE=Hat-Wearing Man;47592256]Fast Fifty[/QUOTE] The sad part is I really could envision there being 50 Fast and the Furious movies
[QUOTE=kweh;47591901]That bad? Damn I must see it, but I hate walking out on movies. It feels like I've been cheated on, but worse.[/QUOTE] Well, it was well-made in terms of production, but that plot (more like non-existense of it) and REALLY slow storymoving is not something I can endure for more than 30 minutes.
