Director Luc Besson is tired of superhero movies!

[Medusoid]

Someone seems butt hurt that nobody went to see his comic book movie.

Valerian is one of the worst movies I've seen in awhile. I'm not surprised it's bombing so hard.

This is a cute pakistani cartoon, im curious to watch it.

Luc besson can eat my dirty shoes, this looks really really nice.
Every culture should have a superhero

I like the evil Mario in the poster. Should become a Nintendo game

Thought the Valerian trailer looked intriguing re some of the visuals. I had hope. Now it's gone onto the "see this next time you're sick and heavily medicated" list.

Some of the reviews were pretty funny tho.

The New York Times

"To say that Valerian is a science-fiction epic doesn’t quite do it justice. Imagine crushing a DVD of The Phantom Menace into a fine powder, tossing in some Adderall and Ecstasy and a pinch of cayenne pepper and snorting the resulting mixture while wearing a virtual reality helmet in a Las Vegas karaoke bar. Actually, that sounds like too much fun, but you get the idea."

Gotta admit, I never thought the title "Captain America" would fly. Especially in a climate when Superman was renouncing his American citizenship.

Still called "The First Avenger" in most countries tho.

Wasn't Valerian was made to impress comicbook fans?

No, only three countries opted for the title change; Russia, Ukraine, and South Korea.

Sorry but I trust my own eyes and not what "hollywood reporter" writes.

Literally dozens of separate news sites make the same report. If you want to dispute each and every one of them then the burden of proof is on you.

Valerian's biggest problem is it's antagonists Valerian and Laureline. The characters felt very apathetic and I was confused if they had a personal relationship especially at the beginning. They also didn't seem to be challenged by much in the story. It didn't help that Dehaan and Delevingne were awful at their parts which I blame purely on the director Besson. A better director could've improved the characters by encouraging better performances out of their actors.
It sounds to me like Besson is deflecting the criticism of his Valerian by pointing out the faults of far more successful movies.

Captain America may sound goofy, but it's a 76 year old icon. Funnily enough, at least to my American ears Valerian sounds like a poor name for the hero of your story.
