Meagan Fox IS NOT AN ACTION STAR!


What was Stallone thinking? Nobody is like 'oh cool he brought in a 2000s "action star" this time, the chick from Transformers'.

No bro, that's not going to bring in an audience, that's going to turn people off.

I don't even dislike Megan Fox, but she was never the box office draw people expected her to be. Even Jennifer's Body was a commercial disappointment.

reply

She pretty much torpedoed herself by badmouthing Michael Bay (which in turn really pissed off Steven Spielberg). Not a great career move for an emerging actress. If she'd played it smart, with the natural advantage of her looks, she'd have been far bigger. Not saying she'd be a guaranteed box office draw, but more successful than she has been.

reply

Yeah I think Spielberg fired her from TF3 for comparing Bays directing style to Hitler.

After I guess Bay felt bad for her so cast her as April in TMNT (which he produced like Spielberg produced TF)

Why would anyone be turned off by Megan Fox being in a corny 80s inspired action movie? You sound like an incel.

reply

I AM BY NO MEANS A MEGAN FOX FAN...BUT I HAVE SEEN HER TURN IN SOME SOLID WORK IN MORE THAN ONE FILM.

AS FAR AS ACTION GOES...I THOUGHT SHE DID VERY WELL IN ROGUE (2020)

reply

She did real good in this with doing a quick magazine load into a pistol. It looked liked she practiced doing it several times. Just like a John Wick movie.I hope a youtube video comes up with her at a range like they do with Keanua.

reply

I think that movie is why she is in this, but "Rogue" with a box office of $242,884, shows her as a huge financial risk playing a female soldier.

reply

She was terrible in Expendables 4 and she can't act.

reply

Yeah she never did much for me. Passable in the Turtles movies.

reply

She was fine in the Turtles movies but there was nothing believable about her in this expendables role.

reply

YOU LIE.

reply

Stallone probably had no say in the casting as he's not credited as a producer or writer.

reply

But Jason Statham did say he was doing this because of Stallone, I think he was involved in some way.

reply

Most women are just decoration, but hate to admit it, or anything else in fact

reply

GROW THE FUCK UP.

reply

She isn’t hot anymore either after popping out kids and turning anorexic. Stop casting her.

reply

Her Makeup looked caked on her face.

reply

For me it's less that Megan Fox is in it and more that Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't in it.

reply

It felt like a D level cast.

reply

Totally agree. Van Dumb and Arnold were dearly missed.
