Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets
Or really any manga/comic adaptation where they strip all the interesting stuff to make a paint by numbers plot. League of Extraordinary Gentlemen probably qualifies too
Agreed on Valerian. It wasn't bad, but the world around it looked more interesting than the plot it had. Jupiter Ascending had some potential as well, but the plot just felt disjointed and chaotic.
Agreed on both parts.
I always thought Jupiter Ascending would have made a far better book than movie.
But I love dogs!
Have I got a job for you US FBI!
I never saw it but John Carter is probably in that camp too
John Carter pulled off the story and setting being very well intertwined.
The protagonist was the generic white savior type, but all of the world building came through the supporting cast.
