Here’s Johnny!
I saw it last night. I thought it was much better than what I anticipated. It does however go in the Hollywood trap and makes it much more friendlier than it needed to be. The original is much, MUCH darker and that is what I love about it, and it don’t compromises and it hits you like a fist. But I also liked some additions they made like Ant trying to communicate with Agnes. I also did like the addition at the end, but I have a bit of a issue with it being to understandable, let people make their own mind about what is going on, and that’s something that is very hollywood about this movie.
I do think this version was not at all necessary, but money speak as always.
This is the same people that don’t get that the fires we’ve seen in many part of the world is also part of climate change. Why deny something that science has been telling us for decades at this point.
But we shouldn’t be supprised when politicians in the US are banning books that don’t align witb their world views. It’s pathetic.
They should have just canned this series after Cavill left… Who likes watching series where the MAIN cast is replaced??
Many good points here! I personally think The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Friday the 13th (2009) and A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) are pretty good remakes myself. I cannot say I’ve gone this deep into it like you have in your thought prosses, but I think they add some elements that makes it work. The story in these movies are maybe not worked on so much but they did a decent job at making these movies “modern” if you will.
I now see that I’m contradicting myself by what I wrote in my OP but my view is maybe a bit more nuanced than what I wrote there.
Omg I love these people’s humor.
