I just……I know there are some worthwhile remakes out there (Let Me In, The Ring, and, ummmmmmmmm), but I stand firmly against the idea in principle. Basically, even though a gem slips by every once and a while, they still don’t tend to add anything to the original experience. Or at least not enough to make its existence justified.

I KNOW! I am also a huge fan of Brolin but it doesn’t excuse the remake if it happens to tank. Some great actors and people behind the camera, hopefully they can pull it off.

Thanks! I know what you mean. I don’t mind being preached to if it makes a valid point. That being said, it can get quite annoying. The alternative is always a nice change of pace.

Thank you! It’s okay, you’re not alone lol. I know a few people who disliked it. Glad you enjoyed the rest of the trilogy though :).

You hit it right on when you said that it’s a story about morals that doesn’t teach a lesson. That’s one thing I’ve come to appreciate from certain movies and directors. The ones who are able to tell stories without preaching usually get more of a rise from me than the ones who hit you over the head with their own opinions. There are probably exceptions and movies that do it to lesser degrees that I like, but I prefer movies that ask pointed questions and let you be the judge.
