Vince Gilligan and Peter Berg have both discussed this in articles and on various podcasts. Couple things happened: Vince Gilligan wrote a much "darker" script more akin to the first half. Whenever Will Smith boards a movie its widely known that he has his own guys punch up the script with "daaamn"s and " that's what I'm talking about"s. With Will Smith comes certain expectations, and they decided they needed to tone down the unconventional and dark stuff. Peter Berg wanted Gilligan to do the rewrites, but Gilligan left to go do Breaking Bad. Berg was not happy with Gilligan over this and tore him up in the press. They brought on a different screenwriter to redo the second half of the film, and the result is the garbled mess of a movie you ended up seeing.
Heres the original script. It is much MUCH darker and ends with Hanwiener disenfranchised and depressed over everyone's expectations of him so he tries to empty a handgun into his skull to no avail because, ya know, hes invincible.
>he tries to empty a handgun into his skull to no avail because, ya know, hes invincible.
Wow so dark and mature oh wait the fricking incredible hulk did this you homosexual
>mature
the only person who said mature is you. and trying to kill himself is really only the tip of the iceberg. theres also scenes where he goes berserk and kills some random girls kitten, k,ills a bunch of cops because they're being too loud, and while trying to rape the PR guys wife, kills the PR guy who tries to save her from the raping and kills the PR guys wife alongside with him. Did the Hulk do any of that shit?
>he tries to empty a handgun into his skull to no avail because, ya know, hes invincible.
Wow so dark and mature oh wait the fricking incredible hulk did this you homosexual
and the hulk doesn't just end like that with the hulk hopeless and futilely trying to kill himself, he pulls himself together and acts like a hero.
this flick really dropped the ball with the moronic time travelling repressed memory horseshit and cuckoldry that turned it into a shitty drama instead of the comedy that it could've been
>there were super hero parodies 14 years ago which usually signifies a genre is overplayed and about to die >superhero movies still going strong >parody genre dead
What did they mean by this?
At one point he just took all roles. I remember that weird movie he was in where the government was watching him through satellites and Gene Hackman essentially playing Alex Jones had to save him
There were no morality checks in this movie.
Being drunk is ok, lying is ok, using violence is ok, everything is literally without consequences. This was moronic capeshit before capeshit became even more moronic. If people consider this a good movie in hindsight, it should give you an idea on how far we've sunk. It never ceases to amaze me just how much they manage to shit on gold. It could've been good. Theron was also walling pretty hard in this movie. Las movie she looked hot in was 'The Astronaut's Wife'. She's a crazy catlady now.
>The homeless drunk superman is black
Based
Purely socioeconomic causes, chud.
He's not really Superman. He just has super strength and can jump really far.
That's literally Superman from Man of Steel.
Superman IV then?
I like the premise of the film but the moronic turn in act 3 ruined it all. That had to have been some last minute studio meddling right?

>Hey what if we made a movie of Will Smith being himself and following some sort of plot?
wiener
>Those lips
>That nose
Disfrickingusting.
>Alright let's get ready to do the shoot
>Mr. Smith please sniff this bowl of dogshit
You could give the street monkeys literal superpowers, and they'd still end up as drunken shit bags that can't even take care of themselves.
>the final boss of this movie is with some random human criminal Hanwiener hurt
Then it would be funny which it was. It got dumb when he did the turning over a new leaf shit halfway through the movie.
actually a very good movie for the first half. only when he starts fighting the girl does it go to complete shit
this flick really dropped the ball with the moronic time travelling repressed memory horseshit and cuckoldry that turned it into a shitty drama instead of the comedy that it could've been
Indeed anon. What if?
>there were super hero parodies 14 years ago which usually signifies a genre is overplayed and about to die
>superhero movies still going strong
>parody genre dead
What did they mean by this?
When Leslie Nielsen died, the parody genre went with him. Everyone knows this, anon.
B-but what about Mel Brooks?
F
LE posters should have their fingers cut off.
that would be a pretty cool movie, too bad hanwiener wasn't that
Will just fell off at a certain point. I want to say after MiB 2? The one where he's a PUA or some shit wasn't bad either
At one point he just took all roles. I remember that weird movie he was in where the government was watching him through satellites and Gene Hackman essentially playing Alex Jones had to save him
It all started with after earth
BUT LET'S MAKE IT A FAMILY MOVIE

>Being drunk is ok, lying is ok, using violence is ok,
The whole movie revolves around those not being okay.
He’s Zeus
>No sequel
Trash
>his cryptonite is a woman
this is how you make Cinemaphileners to sympathize with a movie lead, even though he is black
