I have mixed feelings about this one.
There’s not going to be much to the plot other than “two characters duking it out…”
This is exactly what I was thinking
Such a dumb idea. Next they’ll make a Battleship movie or something.
Beat me to it! I loved watching Real Steel back when it came out.
Interested in seeing this one too, especially cuz my brother and I played with the toy back in the 70s. He almost always knocked my block off though…
I wouldn’t mind seeing a Clue: Master Detective movie. IMO it shouldn’t be a remake of the original. Maybe it could deal with a group of fans of the original Boddy Murders holding a re-enactment (with six of the fans paying homage to the original characters by taking roles like Major Mustard, Widow White, Sultry Scarlett, etc.) that becomes all too real.
Yep, same thought I had. A decent enough movie, if a bit trope filled with stock “underdog” sports theme.
Nope. Clue was a perfect movie, and the only movie based on a board game that we’ll ever really need. You can’t top perfection… I mean, just look at that cast.
Granted that’s also true of Godzilla vs. Kong but I’m still gonna watch the heck out of that big stupid movie.
I’m holding out for live action Hungry Hungry Hippos directed by Michael Bay
Dang, I was hoping that Diesel would play the advanced war machine himself, as he did so memorably once before.
Talk about burying the lede. This is the one I’m interested in.
How about Operation?
You should really refer to him by his full name, Vehicle Identification Number Diesel.
Ultra hyper literary Noam Baumbach is writing the script for barbie. The mind, it reels.
