I think people say the western parts look amateurish because there is no lead like a Harrison Ford or Clint Eastwood or something to give persona and bravado to the scenes. There's also no John Williams music and the 80s feel of a edge of your seat adventure. Westerns (or something similar) are always compared to either Spielbergian Indy Jones or Sergio Leone smooth stoic atmospheric ones. If it doesn't match either or it'll be seen as amateurish. At least that's what it seems like.
I heard somewhere that generally movies have to make double the budget in order to be considered a success. This isn't the case for all movies and obviously DVD/Blu Ray etc. come into play later on but I've read that somewhere before. Maybe expendable can enlighten us on what's constituted a success/failure in hollywood?
Oh my. :lol
I was aware that the film would have massive troubles financially but didn't know this...
