Not an MCU movie, and it is from a different era of blockbusters. X-Men was in limbo after The Last Stand. Iron Man was a hit the year before, but The Incredible Hulk was not. It wasn't until The Avengers in 2012 that the biggest comic properties became fail-proof. Or mostly fail-proof.

I just finished Savages on Netflix, and I didn’t find it to be a piece of crap movie at all. I actually rather enjoyed it.
I liked it too . Went in expecting shite, but actually ended up enjoying it. Plus Blake Lively is nice to look at

Yep. Other than Iron Man and Iron Man 2, Phase One of the MCU was mostly pedestrian at the box office. The Incredible Hulk took in less than $270 million worldwide. Thor did well overseas but took in just over $180 million in the United States. Captain America: The First Avenger brought in about $370 million worldwide and about $176 million domestically. All in all very below average compared to the numbers those same properties pull in today.

Not to mention one of the worst superhero movies of this modern superhero era.

Battleship
I don't like being Monday morning QB on movie selection, but you can't convince me that at any point in reading that script that someone could possibly walk themselves to the decision to do Battleship

Not an Oscar contender by any stretch, but it's an entertaining ball of distracting fluff.

To be fair, script reading is like projecting a draft pick
Sure you can make sure it checks the boxes you want it to check, but until it’s actually finished there’s no way of really telling how a movie is going to come out and you never know when the studio will want to put their dirty paws on a good script, so even the best actors and directors have been duped by a script they liked that turned into shite like Battleship
Not to mention a lot of movies, especially in the block buster world, get made with stars based on movie contracts they signed. I’m not sure if it’s the case for battleship, but a lot of the time when a guy gets his first big break the studio will sign him to a 3 movie deal and the first two will be actually decent looking projects meant to build him up, and the third will be some real trash that they’ve been needing to get a strong name to headline to save the production and they get forced to do it.
Being an actor is just such a crap shoot until you get fully established as an A lister. A lot of your success is completely out of your hands

He was so forgettable as Gambit, i was going to ask what super hero movie was he in.

The only good thing i think i ever remember him in...or he was forgettable in something better that I'm not giving him credit for.

Must've been hilarious when they told him Nesson and Skarsgard were also doing it. Probably thought he was gonna be working with real actors not Rihanna, Brooklyn Decker, and the real amputee serviceman. Similar thing happened with John Carter when the most notable actors played aliens except a small scene with unrecognizable Bryan Cranston.

Emilia Clarke will
would you count Nikolaj Coster-Waldau? I think he will see a big boost and continue to have success

Willem Dafoe? Samantha Morton? Thomas Haden? Mark Strong? Dominic West? James Purefoy? Steppenwolf himself, Ciaran Hinds?
A murderer's row of great character actors of the 21st century. And Samantha Morton.

Ciaran Hinds was a very human looking alien...
And the actors portraying aliens were on set filing motion capture on stilts. It's working with the actors that is the draw, not how recognizable they'll be in the final product.

It matters very much to the audience buying tickets.

How was he unrecognizable? How could anyone not know who that was?

The silly arse hair and beard and being in it for maybe 5 minutes.

Just finished it. I feel like Stone was probably high writing it, but it wasn’t bad! Glad I watched it.

Savages is not a bad film by any stretch, but since it was Oliver Stone, people had a lot higher expectations.
It also had a really bizarre marketing campaign. If I remember correctly, they didn't even really push thsg Stone was the director and just kind of marketed it as a generic 2000s type drug/fast and furious vibed film with a bunchbif beautiful people in it.
