I'm a star trek fan, I am offended by the fact that they are doing a movie like the one coming out, but that got me thinking... are movie producers just going to keep making movies of things we grew up with and adored, ie the star trek movie, GI joe, (if you haven't seen the preview go whatch it might make you cry), and transformers. I feel like everything I grew up with is being warped into a hollywood movie thats crappy, any thoughts?
J.J. Abrams said he was never a star trek fan and never watched it as a child, so his rendition of it will be skewed. And yes they will always be making re-makes, they know we go watch the movies, because they know we will go see it in hopes that it correctly represents our favorites, i.e. I went to go see the recent wolverine movie and was horrified at the utter slaughter of Wolverine's past
(please i don't want to talk about it, just go pick up a copy of "Origins," its a comic series specificly detailing wolverine's childhood and what made him who he is.)
As far as the transformer movie goes, my friend said it best, "The Megan Fox trailer was awesome."
The GI joe movie: yeah they always had that stuff, just never really looked like it. and yeah those two ninjas were always part of the opposing teams, their names are Snake eyes-black one(GI Joe) and Storm Shadow-white one(Cobra). Though I can say that it kinda perturbs me Cobra Commander doesn't have the customary cobra hood on.
Edit* I voted yes on the poll, cause even though I may not like the rendition that the producers make, it may bring that franchise to some of the newer generation and give it life again, cause come on lets face it the old stuff is loved by the people who watched it when they were kids, not by many others.
