The LEGO Movie.

I love me some Pratt, and I do hope that JW is decent. And as funny as it is to say, a part of me hopes his craze dies down a bit, because I don't want people to get tired of him. Starring in a movie here and there every year or two should be enough.

I wouldn't have known he was in there unless told or I googled it.
True enough, but he was a voice. Not recognizable.
By the way I am a huge fan of Chris Pratt. I loved him in Everwood and Parks. But for me, he's not quite on the same level that Fraser was...yet. I want to stress the word YET.

Hahaha, I need to see it, for him and for the wonderful Liz Hurley.
Thanks for answering
Yep, even my parents talk about Branden Frazier.
Thanksgiving at Hamchan's.
MOM: Honey, remember that hunk Brenden Fraser? Boy, would I like to take a piece out of that hunk!
HAMCHAN: MOOOM!
DAD: Your mother's right. That piece of man meat can fill our sandwich any night.
HAMCHAN: :'(

When Chris Pratt stars in a masterpiece duology equivalent to The Mummy and The Mummy Returns, he'll have proven to be better than Fraser. Until then, he merely is.

Please. Tell us of your revisionist history.
Nope.
I'm sorry. Why doesn't Guardians count?
Top 5 on what measure?
I'll allow it.
Even though Chris Pratt was not the main draw for the masses to see Guardians of the Galaxy.
All time box office? I might be dated, but only Tom Hanks surpassed him in that category for some time.

I completley forgot about Fraser. Now I'm sad, dude was nice. Hope he recover his career.

Chris Pratt is not even a Brendan Fraser. The Quiet American is a really fantastic movie, and I can't even begin to imagine Pratt pulling off a serious role like that. He's a Sam Worthington. Enjoy your five minutes bud.
nah i watched it because of him, fuck guardians of the galaxy and marvel movies

People here are acting like Brendan Fraser's movies made no money.
The Mummy made $415 million box office alone on a 80 million budget. That's in 1999 bucks and without the huge foreign box office of today.
The Mummy Returns grossed $433,013,274 worldwide. Just a tad higher than The Mummy, but definitely not a drop.
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor went lower with $401,128,639.

He is certainly not the main draw for Jurassic World. I'll give him Guardians, as he still is hardly the draw for that film.
Nope. Push the false narrative though.
Did Pratt fuck your girlfriend or something? Relax feller

I think most Marvel fans are seeing Jurassic World just because for Chris Pratt.

Except he proved with Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit that he is indeed NO Ford when it comes to taking on a character previously played by Ford.

People are sleeping on School Ties too.
Has Pratt led a decent movie with any type of serious role yet?
Nobody saw any Jurassic Park film for any actor. Ever.
I'm sorry. You just seemed very passionate in your assessment.

Chris Pine is a fine Capt. Kirk of Star Trek. I think he's a worthy replacement. But Indy Jones? Nah.
I know right. I didn't even know Sam neil or goldblums characters till way afterward. I just called them wise cracking guy and guy with blue shirt and cowboy hat

I didn't care for the second one, but The Mummy is the best Indiana Jones outside of the original trilogy. It's charm permeates through every scene. It's also just a downright fun movie. Which are hardly made anymore.
It's like what the Fifth Element was to Star Wars.

Chris Pratt is more handsome therefore no.
Yeah. Like, neither one of them were bad actors. They just meant nothing to the appeal of the films.
