My point was it wasn't a sell out since there was no clear market to sell out to. They opened it wide because of his name. Why not go for the gold? And JP had a bad script. I'm not arguing there. The second half though was what SS does better then anyone. And what he did for nearly 2 hours in WOTW in a different key.
But there HAD to be a clear market to sell out to. They didn't open 1941 wide, they saw it didn't have a market. ET opened wide, must have been a clearly defined market.
The second half of JP was a festival of stupid special effects with no plot to hold them up. I'll grant you, that is what SS currently does better than anybody, but it makes for lousy movies that insult your intelligence and shouldn't be watched. Which again shows why I will never watch his version of WOTW, it's two hours of the worst part JP, I already saw two hours of the worst part of JP it was called Lost World, I ain't doing it again.
