It’s a shame that (a) Disney got the film rights to that series and (b) they fucked it up so hard that even when the Rice Borroughs foundation got the rights back, no one else is trying to do a better movie adaptation.
The movie was good, it was the marketing that failed so hard. I don’t think their marketing budget could’ve bought a can of Arizona Iced Tea. For the first month the movie was out, I assumed it was just another football movie. Everyone was chasing the Friday night lights success at that time.

I actually enjoyed that movie. I went in with zero expectations though, so that probably helped.
