You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie Banks -
yeah, but in fairness he was only in about half the movie. plus, although it was visually stunning, it was too long and rather boring.
really most of his movies these days don't do all that well at the box office - see Enders Game, or Cowboys and AliensComment

i saw it in theaters too. it was on HBO yesterday and I started watching part of it again, it is just soooo slow moving.Comment

I love Ford, but from 1998 to 2014 he didn't make any films I like and was a long way from a box office success.
Alden did fine. I don't think he was the issue. (Though it is hard to replace an loved actor in a beloved series)

agreed for the most part Brue, but I liked Crystal Skull and I liked Force Awakens. other than that, his movies in that period have not been greatComment

Blockbuster and great film The Force Awakens was 2015 (as was Age of Adeline, which I liked and was generally liked I think).Comment

I guess I should have been more specific. I was referring to the number of great parts Harrison Ford has had(mostly when I was younger...now his career is winding down now.)from Han Solo to Indy Jones to Jack Ryan. In the movie industry...he will be remember well.sigpicComment

no doubt. he is actually one of my favorite actors. aside from Han Solo and Indiana Jones, he also did Air Force One, the Fugitive, the Jack Ryan movies, even Regarding Henry. the man is just a fantastic actor. but like every actor he has made some stinkers tooComment

Agreed on all counts! The Fugitive...good call! I LOVE that movie!sigpicComment

Don't forget Blade Runner.
But Ford does walk the line of being bigger than his role. Sometimes Harrison Ford is playing... Ford. Which is okay, because he's usually so appealing and a delight to watch. And despite this, I found Ehrenreich remarkably skilled at playing this character at a different time of his life.Comment

How could I...it's one of my all time favorite movies! And I agree with that assessment of Ford always playing Himself, but he's in good company. Other Actors that fit in to that category are: Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart and Sean Connery.sigpicComment

Me, too. I enjoyed the movie and thought he did a great job. On that note, I believe there are other things at play that contributed to the disappointing box office. Things that are independent of the quality of the end product. A little Star Wars fatigue, perhaps....or bad press before, during, and after that didn't have anything to do with the movie itself. I'm wondering if this will be one of those instances where down the line people come back around and wonder, "How did this get overlooked? It's actually a good movie."Comment
