It is a "special" predator. The JarJar Binks of predators. The Blockhead of predators. The r-word predator.

The movie sounds like an incredible premise except for the bone dead stupid idea to make its face humanlike to garner sympathy. Totally unnecessary.

So I hope "test audiences" reject it so hard that they have to redesign it to look like a proper, if not younger predator.

Otherwise I know I'll be laughing at how stupid and fake and idiotic it looks.

The lowest common denominator is her presence, so while I wouldn't put it all on her as a fail, I would put most of it on her. Sure. Actors are actors, they aren't ambassadors or politicians. They should keep their mouths shut and just act. I am not far left or far right and I find both Gadot and Ziegler to be hysterical, just at opposing ends. Plus, Gadot simply has no talent, a ham actor, and Ziegler has the face of an eager pug and will not age well.

At any rate, this article refutes reality. If I made a film, I would stay far away from hysterical misandrist zigler or a bad actor like Gadot. Both are terrorist lovers. Actors need to understand that their jobs do not include exploiting their publicity for personal politics.

I figured he was a valar, an ainur, more powerful than Gandalf the Maiar, for example. that the ainur sing things to life, and Bombadil is quite a singer. Morgoth was an ainur too. Ainur are more powerful than Maiar like the wizards. But then again, given Tolkien's fondness for song, maybe even Sauron sang and danced, making songs not always significant or powered with meaning.

But Tolkien never said, and he indicaed that some things should go unexplained even if the author has a clear explanation. If Bombadil predates elves and Istari and Ents and trees, then who knows, he may be some special emissary of eru iluvater that is a personification of nature or the land or even an idea, and independent of the valar.

Unless a secret paper by Tolkien is found it will be forever a mystery. And that is likely the point.

Boring. The 1922 is best, with 1979 being 2nd because Herzog and Kinski, and this a distant 3rd. Only young folks who haven't seen the other 2 would love this

Hoult was astounding.

Depp ruins it, with her dead fish eyes and how her melon bulbous head looks like a big hair actor put on a phony bald cap and then stuck a bad wig on the bald cap. Every time she stuck out her tongue and shook and overacted my own eyes rolled so hard I popped blood vessels and had a headache the next day. Go away please lilly rose. Awful actress.

And Defoe was corny when he is usually genius.

Eggers was definitely in a slump on this one.

Skarsgard looked too much like Vlad Tepesh when the movie was stolen from Dracula which was only very loosely based on Tepesh. So no to the mustache. No to too much of Orlok talking. Just no. It wasn't good.

I just watched an early role of his, in The Thin Red Line, and it made me laugh because I don't think he has any lines. To me it appears Malick just said "OK, look bug eyed scared in every scene, and it'll be GOLD, son" and he bug eyed the hell out of that role. On second thought, he does have lines, I guess, but they were very overshadowed.
