TRON: Legacy was released almost thirty years after the original, and with middling reviews and only a decent box office performance, was it worth the wait?

Welcome to the Summer of Sequels! All summer long we are going to be looking at underrated and underappreciated sequels. First up is Scream 2, coming just a year after the release of the original. With Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson returning along with any of the cast that survived the first installment could this follow up match, or perhaps even surpass, the first film?

This small budget film from director Ben Wheatley has flown under the radar and divided audiences. Nevertheless it remains a tight and funny film with an all star cast and a killer 70s aesthetic.

Infamously one of the biggest box office bombs ever made, John Carter allegedly lost around $200 million at the box office. An adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs's 1912 novel "A Princess of Mars" Pixar's Andrew Stanton helmed this big swing that divided critics and audiences.

It's April Fools' so we're not talking about Joss Wheton's Justice League, or even Zack Snyder's Justice League.

Based on the true story published in the Wall Street Journal, this ensemble comedy quickly disappeared from the public consciousness. We ask if perhaps it should not have been forgotten so quickly.

Johnathan Tropper adapted his novel for the screen in this 2014 dramedy. Despite an all-star cast the film under-preformed both critically and financially, and has largely been forgotten. Does this look at a family in crisis deserve another chance?

It's our 50th episode and this monumental event marks the conclusion of our Big Swing series! We couldn't pick a more perfect film to end on than this big budget film with mythology inspired worldbuilding that wasn't based on any existing IP. Most of all this movie is really really weird.

We continue our series on Big Swings with Tomorrowland, directed by Brad Bird who co-wrote the film with Damon Lindeloff and Jeff Jensen. While the film was a box office dud and a critical disappointment we think it embodies the optimism and hope for the future Disney and his imagineers envisioned.

We continue our series Big Swing by talking about this 2019 film directed by Robert Rodriguez based on the manga and OVA Battle Angel Alita. Despite making around $400 million at the box office the huge price tag of this movie may actually mean it didn't turn a profit. The film clearly sets up a sequel but the jury is still out on if it will receive one.

To ring in the new year we are bringing you a special mini-series where we look at Big Swings! The first of witch is Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, a 2015 film starring Dane DeHaan and Cara Delevine. "Big Swings" are the huge risks that come around every few years. They are usually flawed but incredibly interesting films. Almost always a huge failure at the box office. They fulfill the following criteria; 1) Hugely imaginative 2) Massive special effects budget 3) Impressive worldbuilding 4) Kinda bonkers 5) Not part of an existing film franchise For more info head to underratedmoviepodcast.com Instagram: https://instagram.com/underratedmoviepodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@underratedmoviepodcast Patreon: https://patreon.com/UnderratedMoviePodcast YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAbpTHWyBle7yKJv4-gR_gw
