    I think if this tanks the biggest problem is that Adam Driver, while an amazingly talented actor, isn't really a blockbuster leading man who will pull in droves of people.

    ...it includes Plaza, who will absolutely be the best interviewee from this cast whenever Werner Herzog films a documentary about how awful the production was.

    And, most importantly, there is Voight in a Robin Hood outfit, asking Plaza, “What do you think of this boner I got?”

    Anyone went to watch this movie? I heard some people actually walked out of the screening.

    Ouch. Projected 4.5m opening weekend and audience scores are low.

    Im still interested in seeing it although I never intended in going to the theatre. It could be too highbrow for most audiences.

    Between this and the Kevin Costner movie nothing is ever going to get made anymore that is epic or unique.

    I would recommend drugs before seeing it. Insane. I was never bored, but I was often confused.

    I'll just wait for it to go to streaming and watch it in bed to help me fall asleep on.

    Trying it now. 30 min into the film, it's rough. Not even bad in a good way.

    Coppola is playing his way out of the hall of fame

    Weirdest (not in a good way) dialog/scene ever. Murdered by a "boner" which is actually a toy bow and arrow that wouldnt break skin.

    Dudes get old and go senile

    Ridley Scott is churning out a lot of less than mediocre crap despite being given huge budgets

    Coppola was senile throughout production and it wasn't in the name of art

    @Jontro material.

    Any time Plaza and Leboeuf are about to die, that is a good one.
