Why The Fly II Failed

Written by Drew Andh Published 18 seconds ago

It is Drew Lietsch, the actual human, here again to get a giant Freakin robot to talk about another notorious failure.

We look at one of my favorite personal failures, a movie that I gave the lights before on PodCast My Weekly Movie Club, Netrevision.

A scientific imagination/horror sequel was rejected by critics and was quickly ignored by the audience because it is less and cannot be avoided by its award -winning predecessors.

Thanks to part of this reception, there was no other movie made of its privilege.

Going to Telepod with me and I explore the reason The second fly to fail.

The origins of the second fly

She grew up as a short story of George Langean in 1957, Fly It was first adapted in 1958 in a successful feature film that is also one of the favorites I will make.

But in 1986, Mr. David Kronnberg, Mr. Al -Kindi, did, Fly His novel became a fleeing success, not only with the masses but also critically.

It didn’t take long at all for CRONENBERG Fly To be seen as a real classic.

Of course, the producers behind them Fly He wanted to take advantage of the movie’s success with a complement. It is always noted that one of these producers was an icon of comedy, Mail Brooks.

Chris Walie The second fly.

Walas deliberately wanted to be an explicit monster film instead of the tragedy of Cronenberg.

In some respects, this sequences reflect the lower budget and less receiving of the original 1958 movie, The return of the fly and Curse.

As far as public opinion is related, there was no very little chance of reconciling the miraculous quality of CRONENBERG on a large scale.

So, The second fly He was already competing with many baked obstacles before they rolled until the movie: the less visible nature of sequences, an ancestor that could not rise to it, and an artistic approach that sheds light on the extent of the different input from the previous movie.

II fly story

story The second fly Copies about Martin Brundle, Seth Brundle and Veronica Quize from the first movie.

Martin was raised at a laboratory at Bartok Industries, the company that finances the Telepod experiences of Seth Brundle.

Martin extends with an acceleration rate due to spoilers DNA, but it also has a genius genius and tries to solve the problem of his genetic fate.

Of course, it ends up turning into a wonderful fly monster before saying everything.

The total effects become large

Without combing each part of the plot or gives you my review The second fly – This is enough to repeat the rebreement – The second fly Provides one expectation that people had a complement Fly: Goipy, total effects.

But while Cronenberg made these effects in a tragic and interesting tone, The second fly You try to get more fun with its effects.

The boy does so at all, leaving the amazing Martaneli doll throughout the peak of the movie, giving us one of the greatest crushing of the cinema head, and formulating the best unambiguous face that was placed in the movie.

However, it is not difficult to know why this festive approach of blood and monster Bonanza may not sit with the masses at the time.

while The second flyCertainly, the tone is less than its predecessor, the story does not come out of itself. All characters and story are treated with a real emotional weight, and this can lead to a little repulsion for audience members when things become thick.

Cronenberg deal with the effects of the maximum sincerity in an attempt to disgust and set people. Chris Wallace has the same level of sincerity in his approach with effects The second flyBut it is not the same as the emotional goal as Kronnberg’s approach.

By the end of the story, Martin is our explicit hero and this makes his climate confrontation closer to the story of a superhero than the tragic romance of the first movie.

I am ready to bet on this did not click with the expectations that the audience brought from Fly.

The dog dies and is much worse

now, The second fly He has a very dark and frustrated main element in his story, which will be more walking with emotional expectations than the first movie, but this is the worst type of plot that you can do when it comes to the audience that admires your movie.

Martin befriends one of the test dogs in the laboratory but testifies that he is used in the Telepod experience. It turns into a ugly creature and suffering that Martin was eliminated.

But this is a lie and Martin discovers his friend alive. This leads to the killing of Martin Al -Kalb on the screen at a moment I bet that money on someone leaves the theater in protest.

Once again, you can hear what I think about all of this for the film in general in Netrevision, but let’s make it clear that the dogs that die in films are a negative sign known against films for an unimportant part of the population who put the films.

And if you kill a dog in a movie and do not deal with it in a way that most people feel right, it is likely to harm your movie in a big way.

add to The second flyProblems that they were embedded with younger actors who did not have a large cache with the masses. I talked about the same issue in Reign Video and The second fly He has the same burden.

But unlike most of the films we are talking about in this series, The second fly It was already opened in the first place at the box office. On a budget reported 12.5 million dollars, it will end with $ 20 million in the local ticket office and about 19 million dollars in international markets.

So, where does the “failed” part come?

The second fly killed the concession

Good, The second fly It was cut on the tapes by most critics and this public opinion about the movie stuck. Another complement has been developed, but things have collapsed in this entry in part due to poor reception The second fly Make another complement that looks risky.

This bad reception ended with a cloud on any other potential continuation of the privilege in the form of a movie. Although there was a continuation of the comic book from The second flyA story, no other movie project was manifested with this property.

Therefore, effectively, The second fly Anyone else killed Travele Movies until further notice.

I do not say that there should be more Travele Films, but in the era of IP freely, the films are already watched after you feel a very rare one continued and you should add a layer of reflection The second fly.

It only goes to show that money is not the standard for measuring the success of pop culture. Although I will always love Martinfly, it will likely remain a bastard in the eyes of most people because it is not like his father.
