...And, well. Consensus seem to be not great.

Thought I’d share since there’s been quite a bit of talk about the ‘Dark Universe’ around here.

I’m not lessening to them.

The purpose of a rerun is to make money from the name. Which means less effort goes into writing perhaps a smaller development period for that quick cash. Idk exactly, but its a tactic that is used.

Fair enough. You’re ticket money.

To be fair, the 1999 film was a reboot of the 1937 one, and it was hardly a hit with the critics, but people seem to fondly remember it.

Not really getting that same ‘schlock but fun and well-made schlock’ feeling from the new one, or its current numbers

I don’t trust reviews. Nearly every highly rated and universally well critically received movie I’ve seen I’ve thought was total dogshit, such as Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy to name a prime example. I fucking hated that movie and it’s the primary reason I don’t hive a tenth of a shit as to what critics have to say about anything anymore.
