  Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets was like that.

    I loved everything about that move but the main two. It’s like this highschool dweeb has an uncle that owns a movie studio and talked him into using it to woo his hot crush by casting her in a realization of love plot. Every character other than the horny dweeb and the chick that really doesn’t want to bang him rocks their part and the plot is such a great concept and the graphics are tearjerkingly beautiful, and somehow none of it makes up for the two dinguses that hog the screen.

      It was impressive how bad the Romance was. And how bad at acting the two leads were.

      oh it didn’t occur to me that there would be a book it’s based on. im putting the first book on my wish list

      usually the books hollywood puts through the grinder have much better stories and make me appreciate the films less

      notable exception is lord of the rings, where the films were better than the books and maybe the new dunes as well

        Villeneuve’s Dune is nice but in no way is it better than the books
