I think those days are behind us.
I am not expecting much from this movie. I hope I am pleasantly surprised.
Not expecting much at all from this movie. Looks like a bunch of PC stuff already thrown in with the women folk being the lead savages.
I’ll let others tell me if it’s worth my dime.
Old school stunt driving is why I really enjoyed watching Death Proof.
“I am not expecting much from this movie. I hope I am pleasantly surprised.”
Indeed. There hasn’t been a remake in recent memory that even came close to the brilliance of past scifi flicks. RoboCop II was utter dreck compared to the original.
These remakes all simply try for bigger special effects and while dumping all of the multi-layered subtleties of the original. Can you even imagine a remake that would approach the wonderfulness of “Soylent Green”?
(Actually, good remakes ARE possible, but that involves REALLY good writing, really good imagination, really intelligent film making, and NO CGI. Good luck with that from Hollywood.)
A friend of mine works in film marketing and has been seeing it in various states for the last year or so and he's raving about it. And he doesn't like much these days. Some digital effects, but a LOT of practical effects.
Also George Miller is a pain to deal with. They file relay a cut of a two minute teaser to Australia and come back the next morning to a two hour video of Miller tearing it apart frame-by-frame, which is something basically no other director does.
