Broke as a Joke Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I have always enjoyed the original movie. I tried to make the kids watch it and there was zero interest. This looks cool for what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like they are going with the original look on the reboot instead of a cgi facelift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szav Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Watched the original movie a few months ago with my wife who had never seen it. I remember that I didn't care a lot for it when I was younger and...yep, its a terrible movie. That said, I went into the series with super low expectations and was very pleasantly surprised. If you can get past the plot holes, and somewhathackneyed themes, its visually stunning, has a rich lore that theybuild well upon, and has some decent characters. I'd even say they throw in some pretty cool twists and take it ina darker direction than you'd think in the last couple episodes. Looking forward to a season 2 if they do one.
