You're comparing rehashes of the plot to remakes

Posted by: medv4380 on May 02, 16:41 in response to Antibody's post Moviegoers didn't seem to mind a beat for beat remake of...

Jerasic World was just a rehash along with Star Wars 7. Rehashing story eliments is what makes a sequel a sequel, and Formula Formula. Now you can dislike those things as well, but comparing them to remakes is disengenuous. Did SW7 pull off an exact scene from any of the prior movies in the same way that the GB remake is pulling off the Library Scene? No, and if you say it did then you're stretching the truth to match your view as much as possible. As for "absurd" to expect practical effect in the 21st century when SW7 had plenty of practical effect. Sure CG is expected to exist, but it has its place. If I were to follow your logic I'd have to conider every James Bond movie a Reboot. They're not. They're just Rehashes of the same formula which is very different than a reboot thought the last 3 could be considered a reboot of the prior 20 Golden Eye is Hardly a Reboot of Goldfinger. Just a rehash of the same formula. That still doesn't negate that if ones view is that they don't like Reboots, and they don't like excessive abusive CG that they can't still deem the movie bad solely off of  that one trailer, bucause that's exactly what the trailer sold everyone on.

EW: According to a Fandango poll released Monday, moviegoers selected GHST3 as their most anticipated summer comedy. Reshoot over weekend. Antibody May 02, 13:37

That doesn't mean much - there isn't really another big summer comedy TwoMisfits May 02, 13:49

CINTL? MDNWD? {nm} numbersix_99 May 02, 14:24

Serious question: How many summer comedies are there this year? ~JPV~ May 02, 13:50

Those are the only other 2 that I could think of {nm} shadowking May 02, 13:52

CON4R, MDNWD {nm} RogerMore May 02, 13:55

BMOMS {nm} Antibody May 02, 13:55

NEIB2 {nm} Jay_Beezy May 02, 14:03

BMOMS, CON4R and MDNWD are all priced to open under 15M. Not exactly competition for biggest anything at that level shadowking May 03, 04:14

Oh I'm anticipating too but to BOMB! {nm} Baron_Darcon May 02, 13:54

You don't want a good Ghostbuster movie? I don't understand rooting for it to fail. {nm} Antibody May 02, 14:04

its speaks more about the person than the movie {nm} Moviesnob May 02, 14:07

yes, i do want a great Ghostbusters movie {nm} slipping jimmy May 02, 14:16

Oh I wanted a good Ghostbusters movie, but this abomination isn't that.I want good movies not crap. It'll take 10 years to forget this turd {nm} Baron_Darcon May 02, 14:18

You haven't even seen the movie yet. {nm} Antibody May 02, 14:19

Given how much trailers give away it's not hard to see valid formed just off of them. medv4380 May 02, 14:36

One trailer, 2:30 of footage. It'sabsurd to expect pratical effects in the 21st Century. {nm} Antibody May 02, 14:41

Sadly previews give soo much away in it's trailers if you pay attention. Also SONY'S email breach gives tons of info way explained in these Baron_Darcon May 02, 23:05

Melissa's style of humor is basically a "WTF, really?" & "f*** that" attitude to everything...that's when she's at her best IMHO... tealfan May 02, 14:46

Moviegoers didn't seem to mind a beat for beat remake of Jurassic Park with better CG. {nm} Antibody May 02, 14:47

or a beat to beat remake of Star Wars: A New Hope with better CG. {nm} Antibody May 02, 14:48

I'd argue that Jurassic World didn't have better CGI. It certainly had more of it, frankly to its detriment. {nm} Jay_Beezy May 02, 15:02

+1. {nm} Captain Obvious May 02, 17:22

No, GHST3 is also a rehash of the plot to Ghostbusters, not a remake. {nm} Antibody May 03, 09:32

They tried a sequel already. Only goes to show how much it failed cause no one seems to remember it Moviesnob May 02, 15:12

I have the Ghostbusters II soundtrack {nm} RazorHawk May 02, 15:15

you dont forget anything dude. your mind is a steel trap {nm} Moviesnob May 02, 15:17

Ghostbusters II soundtrack gave us the hit song "On Our Own" by Bobby Brown {nm} RazorHawk May 02, 15:36

Adam Levine talked about the Ghostbusters II sound on this season of The Voice... (link inside) RazorHawk May 02, 15:38

Yep, I have it as well and listened to a few songs just the other day... {nm} ~JPV~ May 02, 16:06

I really like the Oingo Boingo track {nm} RazorHawk May 02, 16:21

Longer - Turds have Staying Power. 'Battlefield Earth' (2000). {nm} Captain Obvious May 02, 14:23

Yup. It'll leave a huge stain for a long long time... =( {nm} Baron_Darcon May 02, 22:59

Few movies have an awful trailer and turn out to be great movies TwoMisfits May 02, 14:32

actual lack of understanding / intelligence, or sarcastic lie? {nm} TJNFL1 May 02, 16:51

Hey, Dmac, did your email change? Sent you a few messages. {nm} eyescovered May 02, 14:20
