Does nothing for me. There was a time when jamming in a bunch of pop culture references might be enough to sell a movie, but I think we're past that.

AGREED!

This is gonna flop SO bad.....

I do think it probably will underperform at the very least

 

[ironwez20]

Jeez this looks interesting. The akira bike in live action. Iron giant in live action . That's enough to get me interested

 

[jye4ever]

Pointless pop culture references, crap.

Demolition Derby looked cool though.

 

[ironwez20]

But it had halo in it tho...... halo!!!!

 

[jye4ever]

I didn't see it but then again I stopped playing Halo after Halo 2 lol.

Basically they're trying to sell us on a live action version of this:

The book is awesome. The book referenced a lot of 80s sitcoms like Family Ties. Hope 80s sitcoms get some love in the film.

Good call. I saw the Wizard at the movie theater. Defining moment of my life.

You wash your mouth out with soap, sir.

This has the Iron Giant. That's all I needed to see.

I'm sold.

 

[Chapter 2099]

And let me just take a second and say if any of you haven't seen the Iron Giant, go do yourself a favor and buy it, rent it, whatever. Just see it.

Pretty much.
I'll take fan made trash like KUNG FURY over crappy modern lookin' PCR fest like this one any day.

It does have a certain "Tomorrowland" vibe... but I gotta put my faith in Spielberg. I won't know half the pop culture references so I wonder how I'll like it? Got to be better than "Pixels".

 

[Luminous]

I have to say, I am really surprised by some of the negative reception towards this movie. I can see the skeptical view of thinking this is just a movie filled with pop culture references but the trailer clearly demonstrates it's going to have fun with those references. I wont' pretend to know if the plot will actually have any substance but it certainly looks like it has the potential to be a great time at the theater. Did people forget how to just have fun watching a movie?

Spielberg has lost his touch, I've gotta say.
