Stars Jack Black and Jason Momoa looked like they were in different galaxies. Children will probably still love the finished thingbut droves of online commenters were immediately put off. The leadership of ...
There’s no firm indication yet of when we’ll get to see a live-action Zelda movie, but Nintendo has at least narrowed it down a bit.
