Oh Gee, the lesbian scenes on this trailer are indeed very hot. However, i doubt that there is more lesbianism in this particular movie. I bet all the lesbian stuff is presented in the trailer. Sad.

I have no trouble believing Charlize Theron could kick my ass.

by Anonymousreply 10April 22, 2017 11:45 AM

While promoting the film at CinemaCon, Charlize told USA TODAY she's very proud of the "sexy" scene, and that the all-female love scene is important.

"It's not something we see enough of in cinema, these kinds of relationships or exploration," said Theron. "It's very real. And we're so scared of it. And it's beautiful in the film. It's very sexy. The two of us talked a lot about how it's about time that women can own their sexuality the same way males get to in movies."

The love scene was not in the graphic novel upon which the movie is based, but they felt strongly about including it. "We wanted to push the envelope. And this felt so original," she said.

Saw it. Not great. Charlize is great at fight scenes but the accent was terrible ("apprEESEEate") and some times she was trying way too hard to look cool. It had way too many convoluted plot twists and the structure of the narrative didn't work. McAvoy looked hot.

This movie never would have been made if it was about two men. Straight fanboys find lesbians (or bisexual women in this case) hot.

by Anonymousreply 36August 1, 2017 9:16 PM

Exactly, R17.

by Anonymousreply 37August 1, 2017 9:18 PM

R17 & R37 fail to take into consideration the f/f sex scene involved the protagonist in the spy/thriller genre. Imagine Bond having a sex scene with some cute twink spy. So this is a big fucking deal and it would be nice if you guys (if you're gay) would stop trying to play down the significance of what CT pulled off with the making of this film.

by Anonymousreply 38August 1, 2017 9:56 PM

Charlize and McAvoy are great and sizzle throughout, but the story is muddled and goes off the rail. The violence is graphic, gratuitous, and prolonged. It has a soulless vibe despite a cool setting and visuals.

Not that I think it would have been as involved as the Charlize Theron/Sofia Boutella scene in the film but James McAvoy said that he wanted his character to be gay (maybe bisexual) but because they were already exploring that with Charlize's character the writers nixed his suggestion.

Per Box Office Mojo, the budget was $30M and the current (as of Aug 10) worldwide gross is just under $50M. If the film has legs it might get a sequel, but the disappointing opening ($18M) and domestic ($38.2M) are barriers.

R55, you're starting to irk. The film just opened in the UK but they have yet to report numbers. Most of Europe won't see the film until its release at the end of the month and other countries have release dates throughout September . It's interesting China is not listed though.

As for profit, the film cost 30M to make. It will turn a profit.

by Anonymousreply 57August 14, 2017 2:54 PM

r54, Generally there are three criteria studios look at when deciding to make a sequel: (1) does the audience want it? (is there a built-in audience, does the story lend itself to a sequel, are people interested in the characters, etc.); (2) do the creatives want it? (the principal actors must be interested, and it helps if the producers and directors are in); and finally the big one: (3) can you get financing, which usually boils down to whether the first movie made enough money to attract investors to a sequel. While there is no fixed percentage, generally a film needs to make at least 130% profit (that's net of cost) to be considered for a sequel, and that is on the low end. In the case of Atomic Bomb, which had a budget of $30M (budget excludes promotional costs), the film will need to make at least $70M (230% of $30M) worldwide. As of Aug 13, the film has grossed $61.7M per Box Office Mojo. As I said above, if Atomic Bomb has legs, it can surpass the $70M mark opening the door for a conversation about a sequel. Theron has said that she envisions several sequels and that the other main cast is on board, which certainly helps the cause.

Colombiana was a way better movie. I hoped this would be on that same level; it was not even close.

by Anonymousreply 60August 17, 2017 12:57 AM

Ah yes, the obligatory lesbian scene. It's supposed to be quite violent.. It's more like they're attacking each other than making love; I guess it's called "rough sex." Big deal.

The best thing I've heard about this movie is that it's well choreographed. There's a long fight scene that one critic said was well done but "excruciating to watch."

This movie features Charlize Theron in a VERY bad wig beating up large men and getting beat up herself. That's supposed to be exciting. But it makes me want to puke. I think I'll pass on this one.

by Anonymousreply 61August 17, 2017 1:35 AM

Yeah R60, Colombiana received a whopping 27% on Rotten Tomatoes. Such a sophisticated and discerning filmgoer.

As for R61, possibly if you actually saw the film you would realize the f/f love interest is integral to the plot and she means more to the protagonist than just a roll in the hay. Now by all means carry on with your "puking."

My friend and I laughed out loud and left the movie theater after the protagonist appears on screen pouting in a 'BOY LONDON' t-shirt. It's like some stylist asked herself: 'What else is from the eighties?' when she came up with that. I also disliked the overly obvious 1980s/Teutonic soundtrack: Peter Schilling's Major Tom, a bit of Nena, a bit of New Order. It was obviously made for people who were not alive during that time and think it all looks very 'cool'.

I've seen the trailer and I think it looks like crap, so it kind of stands to reason I would think the whole thing is crap if I decided to waste money on seeing it . You seem very determined to defend it. Are you one of its publicists? Or maybe you just get off on violent spy movies that feature a lot of mindless extreme mayhem. At any rate, I don't "obey" anybody. I just know a shitty movie when I see one.

"How do you know is a crappy film if you haven't seen it.? Yes, this proof you are a TROLL and an asshole."

Watching the trailer and reading reviews can tell you a lot about a movie. For example, after seeing the trailer for Johnny Depp's movie "Mortdecai" and reading the dismal reviews I came to the conclusion that the movie sucked, Which it did. I tend to think that YOU went out to see it with high expectations and enjoyed it very much. Yes, it seems like your kind of movie.

Um, no. Lesbians always make the mistake to think they're treated the same as gay men. They aren't. And lesbianism has been done to death in mainstream pop culture. It's overexposed.

R82, no, lesbianism in a mainstream film fronted by an A-List actor who is trying to create a franchise with a bisexual protagonist is a hell of a lot different than some throw-away f/f scene with tertiary characters. How's that for a run-on sentence?

by Anonymousreply 83August 24, 2017 3:32 PM

I watched it on HBO last night. So, it's just a bunch of skillfully choreographed fight scenes joined into an incomprehensible narrative and held together by an interrogation scene (which stands in the place of a voice-over; explains basic plot points and motivation) and on-the-nose music hits?

I was hoping the agent killed in the first scene would come back in flashbacks; I can't believe they killed off the best looking guy at the very beginning.

James McAvoy was a good baddie, but he didn't do anything that we have not seen before in these type of films. At least he showed off his new body.

Charlize looked like a drag queen in wider shots. And what happened to her face? Botox provoked gap between her upper lip and nose was painful to watch in close-ups. I was surprised how unremarkable she looked wearing a dark wig. Blonde hair does wonders for her face. Although, her blonde wig could not have stood out more in gray Berlin (so much for blending in).
