@BroBot9000 I despise this kind of filmmaking. Flat out a shot for shot do-over with minimal new creative input. What a waste of everyone’s time and talent.

Live action? I really liked the animated movies and how the characters actually aged. The main character started as a kid and by the end he was a bearded dad

I know but artistically, it looks like your doing a search and replace for CG characters and dropping in real live people.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah, but if they made it completely different, then people would complain about that.

[–] BonerMan@ani.social 1 points 1 month ago

I hope not.

As opposed to every other movie that is released to make... Money

Oh.... Oh no....

The lighting looks fake, the acting is bland...

Man they had to ruin HTTYD too, huh...

I'd argue they already did that with 3.

Valve never makes 3 and DreamWorks always fuck it up.

Tbf Witcher 3 and Toy Story 3 is good.

[–] Walk_blesseD@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why are they just remaking a movie that already exists instead of trying something else? Idk, I've always just wanted a faithful adaptation of the books.

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 2 points 1 month ago

Yah, could've a side story in the same universe. The original age well, not sure why it need a "refresh".

[–] BonerMan@ani.social 3 points 1 month ago

Well, firstly money. Secondly the franchise is just laying around.

[–] eddanja@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

I will happily watch this.
