They love crap like this in Asia


No shock it killed it over there and did awful in the states. Laughable script. Just dumb. Solid effects. Everything else was lame. In Asia they don’t ask for anything beyond effects. Studio made $. All they care about.

The highest grossing movies in the states tend to be these special effect driven big action movies. We aren't any different, even though this particular one didn't do too well here.

Ummm Superhero movies are the big thing here in the states. So it's no different. More high brow stuff is on cable TV nowadays.

Superhero movies are also the big thing in Asia.

Nah, this one also faired badly even in Asia.

Made almost 3 times its budged. It made profit. There will be more.

Well how about YOU do better, or shut up!

Well, my experience in directing movies does only consist of messing around with my friend's 1 megapixel phone camera back when we were 10, but if you give me a $100 miliion dollar budget and an army of assistants...who knows, it may just turn out less shit than this.
