Something modern film is missing is great, action packed, nonsense 80s/90s action movies. Olympus Has Fallen felt like that to me. It was just fun. I still won't watch it theatre but I'll definitely watch this.

Is it me or do the effects look really unfinished video game cheesy.


I did like the lean on the turn thing. I remember watching a documentary on a Ohio class missile boat were people were leaning at a 45 degree angle into the turns.

Hmmmm. Generally horror remakes are not the best. And although this looks riddled with jump-scare type tropes, I'll probably still go see it.

I'm still traumatized by Zelda, the slice, and "no fair". Hard pass.

No look at Will Smith as the Genie, which is all I was interested in.

How could anyone do a version of the genie that measures up to Robin Williams?

This looks bad enough that the trailer is probably all I need to see, but the trailer is pretty awesome. Probably great for kids.

I don't know what it is about Stephen King stories, but it always seems his non-horror tales translate better to the big screen than his horror stories. It probably has something to do with just the psychological immersion you get in a book rather than a 2 hour flick.



Pet Sematary is his scariest work IMO, and I can't imagine it will measure up, but I guess we'll see.

I thought Venom was good for what it was - a popcorn superhero type flick.

Sorry wrong thread.

Though I am looking forward to Spiderverse. I don't know how anyone could think it looks terrible. Is it the animation style?

Perhaps because I or my wife have no idea what the Spiderverse is/was.. but the whole idea seemed really stupid. Perhaps I just need to read up on what it is.

It does seem like it needs a bit of background for you to connect with the characters they've shown in the trailer. Especially if you've never heard of Miles Morales or Spider-Gwen. They're two big characters in the Spider-men comics over the last half decade.

Spider-Ham is going to be fun.

Pretty sure you mean Spider-Pig.

No way man, I grew up with Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham comics.
