Whereas a handful of moviegoers loved it, The Matrix Resurrections upset the majority of the sequence’ fanbase, and now Morpheus actor Laurence Fishburne has revealed what he thinks of the fourquel. The celebrated actor is hardly showering the film with reward, and his ideas are very a lot consistent with the final consensus.
It is uncommon when an actor slams a film, whether or not they’re in it or not. As they work within the trade, they’d be criticizing the work of individuals with whom they often rub shoulders, they usually might even be jeopardizing the film’s field workplace success, however that does not cease some from sharing their ideas. Between Michael Caine, Sylvester Stallone, and Mark Hamill, these actors have carried out the critics’ work for them.
Michael Caine On Jaws: The Revenge
Michael Caine performed the lead character within the fourth Jaws film, Jaws: The Revenge, which is the butt of so many movie-related jokes.

In response to The Telegraph, the Italian Job actor defined, “I have never seen it, by all accounts it was horrible. Nevertheless I’ve seen the home that it constructed, and it’s terrific.” Typically actors know the way dangerous a movie might be after studying the script, however the paycheck is simply so large that they cannot say no, and Caine appears fairly unapologetic about that work ethic.
Laurence Fishburne On The Matrix Resurrections
The Matrix Resurrections bombed on the field workplace, and there’s a laundry record of explanation why. Not solely was The Matrix Resurrections negatively obtained by most critics, however the movie additionally changed the actors who performed iconic characters. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II changed Laurence Fishburne as Morpheus, and whereas Abdul-Mateen put his personal spin on the function, it did not really feel full with out Fishburne on display screen alongside Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss. And Fishburne has now given his personal two cents on the fourquel.
The actor revealed, “It wasn’t as dangerous as I assumed it might be. And it wasn’t nearly as good as I hoped it might be.

Ryan Reynolds On Inexperienced Lantern
Ryan Reynolds has slammed Inexperienced Lantern a number of occasions, and in response to Cinema Mix, he famous, “It additionally fell sufferer to the method in Hollywood which is like poster first, launch date second, script final.” However that remark is simply the tip of the iceberg, because the actor rips into the movie at each probability he will get. On the finish of Deadpool 2, Wade Wilson (Reynolds) shoots Reynolds within the head earlier than he agrees to star within the 2011 superhero film.
Paradoxically, starring in Inexperienced Lantern (in addition to having a supporting function in X-Males Origins: Wolverine) could be one of the best factor that occurred to Reynolds, as with out these two films, there’d actually be no Deadpool.
Robert Pattinson On Twilight
The widespread phrase goes, “Do not chew the hand that feeds you,” and that actually applies to actors, however Robert Pattinson has ignored that utterly, as there was an extended, well-documented historical past of him slamming the franchise that made him a star.

Sylvester Stallone On Rocky V
The unique Rocky is mostly thought-about among the best sports activities films ever, however by the point Rocky V arrived, the franchise had utterly forgotten what made the unique so beloved. And no one is aware of that greater than the sequence creator and star, Sylvester Stallone.
When showing on the British discuss present Friday Night time with Jonathan Ross, the Rocky actor hilariously talked about that he’d give Rocky V a zero out of 10. Actors typically hate when an arbitrary rating is utilized to a film that they’ve labored so arduous on, not to mention use a scoring system of their very own, which makes Stallone’s feedback so brilliantly right down to earth.
Shia LaBeouf On Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Cranium
Even the best administrators ever do not have an ideal observe file, and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Cranium was Steven Spielberg’s dangerous day within the workplace. In response to NME, Shia LaBeouf might need criticized his personal efficiency, however he additionally spoke badly of Spielberg’s course.
The actor commented, “I discuss to him typically sufficient to know that I’m not out of line. And I might by no means disrespect the person. However if you drop the ball you drop the ball.” LaBeouf could be utterly out of his component speaking about Spielberg in such a blunt method, however few Indiana Jones followers would disagree with him. Nevertheless, between Indy’s detective work and the humorousness, Crystal Cranium is arguably underrated.
Burt Reynolds On Boogie Nights
Boogie Nights was ’90s wunderkind Paul Thomas Anderson’s breakthrough film, however the younger writer-director did one thing that will often finish any first-timer’s profession, and that is upset Hollywood royalty. Burt Reynolds performs Jack Horner within the 1997 movie, which is concerning the porn trade within the late-’70s and early-’80s, and in response to Slash Movie, he needed to be held again from smacking Anderson when on the set.
That anger seemingly bled into his emotions in direction of the critically acclaimed movie, as Reynolds hated Boogie Nights and even fired his supervisor for convincing him to take the function. The actor revealed, “It made me very uncomfortable.”

Field Workplace Mojo
), which was barely half of its finances. However that
did not cease the studio from greenlighting R.I.P.D. 2
.
Mark Hamill On The Final Jedi

Star Wars
films, and it was well-documented how crucial he was of the character’s actions in
The Final Jedi
. Hamill didn’t like the alternatives writer-director Rian Johnson made for the Jedi and 1000’s of followers’ hero.
That led to some hilariously scathing evaluations of the movie in press junkets when he ought to have been doing the alternative. A
Youtube video
collects 50 completely different occasions when Hamill spoke negatively of the movie, with probably the most noteworthy being, “How you can probably the most optimistic, hopeful character within the galaxy flip into this hermit who says, ‘It is time for the Jedi to finish?’ I learn that and mentioned, ‘What?!’”
George Clooney On Batman & Robin
