Mulder Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Ok there were passion projects in the 90s but after 2000 they stopped existing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 1. Sequels are rarely as good as the original especially when it's a FOURTH film in a franchise. 2. SNG is utterly average because of a terrible script. If the actors weren't as good as they are it'd be a terrible film 3. David Connolly who was basically the main problem of SNG. This is long enough that it's almost a quasi-reboot. Same as your beloved GODZILLA. I disagree completely about SNG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 Oh yea, and to borrow a line from Run DMC, "not bad meaning bad but bad meaning good!" All bad 80's horror is still pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulder Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Wait Mulder did you not like Rise of the Planet of the Apes? (Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver wrote it also, and I believe they changed up the script for Jurassic World that was bad, so I have high hopes again, although not sure about the director. Jaffa and Silver's whole script got dumped. No writing credit. Mulder's own instincts. No the leaked info that's come out about the film. Unless Chris Pratt living in a cabin on a island of Dinosaurs is something good now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 There's nothing wrong with franchises, but comparing the Hollywood of today to when JAWS was made is just not a good comparison. I didn't make that comparison. I'm saying that all the symptoms you're complaining about applied to this Godzilla film when it was in production, too A sequel with entirely new characters is, for all intents and purposes, the same thing as a reboot with entirely new characters 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulder Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 This is long enough that it's almost a quasi-reboot. Same as your beloved GODZILLA. I disagree completely about SNG. So having a gaping plot hole as big as SNG's plot twist is fine? Or not finishing any character arcs? Or the fact that the basis of the film it self, the newspaper article becomes a plot hole in the film it self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look, preparing expectations about a movie based on rumors about the script is about as silly as they come. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 Now that is a flat out lie. Yea, do you have any idea how long it takes to get a film made from script to filming? DiCaprio worked on Wolf of Wall Street for 6 years before Scorsese actually agreed to do it. That's a passion project. And that's just one of a plethora of examples. Oooooo.....boobies in the movie.....FINALLY. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainJackSparrow Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Jaffa and Silver's script was tossed?? You sure??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalel009Shel Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I think it can. Odd as it may seem, the characters look to be well done. It has potential at the very least. Mulder and Fancy Im with you. .Any of you guys want to go hard and set up a club for it ? Neo is definitely rooting for this one and so am I.. Its got one hell of a crazy SH theme going on and ties in with the Avengers and Marvel Universe! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dementeleus Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 That's not JW's problem at all. If you hate Trevorrow that much, then perhaps it's safe to say you won't like JW. However, whether that means it's an entertaining or good movie is entirely a different question... and one that you can't answer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
