Which audience is this movie made for?
I am talkin as a series here. Both 1 and 2 film, as the review here also says are decent. Then i notice that its Disneys movie. Disney genuinely is related with kids. But although not much violence, it still isnt a movie for kids.
But personally i feel its like a modern poor mans Indiana Jones. Funny thing is that the movie is full of great hollywood names, but the movie doesnt feel great. Like i say, its a decent movie, but it doesnt really look like a superb movie. I dont live in america, but genuinely you see each hollywood star has his own series, aka Bale has Batman, Matt Damon has Bourney, Jackmann has X-men, Depp has Pirates and so on and on. Some better some less, mainly blockbusters, but still movies you genuinely look forward to.
But this...thats the case here for Cage, his series is this National Treasure, and compared to the series i mentioned earlier, it feels rubbish.
I have seen both 1 and 2 movie, but i didnt really get any fantastic impression in the end of the movies.
Then i happened to see the preview where Mirren, Harris, Keitel talk, credit each other, the director pops up saying its a wonderful experience etc.
I just aint impressed. So therefore i ask, who is the public who likes it? The story has too many plot holes, the "bad" guys aint serious enough, huge list of names, yet the movie still feels somewhat weak.
Just, is there huge fans of this series? Are you Cage fans who watch it? Or are you adventure movie fans?
It just feels as a movie aka Mirren saying, hey i havent played with Cage, count me in. Who do we get as the bad guy this time? Oh i know, Greenwood, his a great friend of mine or smth :P.
I just dont quite understand, youd think a star like Mirren would consider before making this movie, it must be the money then really?
