The problem they have, right from the get go, is all the reshoots.

That's what killed Solo, which even the end result wasn't THAT bad, but with a 300m+ total budget, and another XXXm in promo, it was pretty much in the hole to begin with, and this movie is in the same position as well, now.

The other thing is, the whole Capt America shtick was shoved onto Sam, who, quite honestly, didn't need it, and I don't think really wanted it. He always was better as The Falcon.

At this rate they should just move the movie to January, because, "fuck you, it's..."

The amount they spend on these movies is INSANE. People aren't really entertained by CGI pixels anymore.

Super Mario Movie and Spiderverse movies might argue with that, but...

The CG isn't the problem, and this is mostly live action anyway.

The reshoots are the result of having done test screenings, and audience not happy with what they saw. This happened with Justice League, Solo, Suicide Squad.

The thing is, they're trying to make BLOCKBUSTERS, when they forget,

'just make a movie >I< would like to go see'. sort of movie.

I mean movies that cost $250m+ because they're special effects spectacles. People care more about story.
