To fit with the theme of the first movie, the second movie is just the first movie again, but from a slightly different angle.

I Will watch it again just like I did it many times for the first movie

Titled TooEdgy2Morrow. You heard it here first.

Why does everything need a sequel? That movie was great all on its own, one of the few standalone sci fi movies made in recent years. Why do we need another? Is advertising a new movie that expensive that the marketing team needs to ride some else's coattails to get results?

Cruise doesn't make bad movies so if they want to do a sequel then I'm all for it.

This movie definitely doesn't need a sequel. How about these hacks be creative and present us with new stories in the media format, just like they did with, I don't know, the first adaptation?

They have the talent, they have the money. Just be creative and risk a little.

That's the only reason we're talking about this movie in the first place. They took the risk, and imo, it paid off. I understand it maybe didn't do so well in the box office aspect, but look at the cult following this movie has.

Just leave this movie alone. Let's have new cool stories, please!

I don't think Edge of Tomorrow is where we need to start complaining about sequels. Edge of tomorrow, with Cruise and Blunt, was really unique and fun, and I'd like to see more.

And for the record I freaking loved Bill Paxton, in this movie and about all of his work.

[–] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Damn, he ain't gonna be in Edge of Tomorrow 3!

How about an actual adaptation of All You Need Is Kill instead

[–] girlfreddy@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Just rewatched it yesterday. A sequel would be crap.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 1 points 1 year ago

Tom Cruise is always good, so I believe in a sequel.

Other actors, not so much.
