said by MrMoody:Another non-SF reboot spotted: Sherlock Holmes with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law as Holmes and Watson. Love the actors, love Holmes but from the previews it's obvious that the Holmes character has been completely subverted to make a period-piece, buddy-cop, action flick -- how's that for genre-bending? 
Will be checking it out anyways... sigh. |

| I just hope they don't go overboard with flashy special effects, since so much is possible with CGI.
I guess I'm just too much a fan of the old-school Harryhausen-effects

Smithfield, NC | said by RockCake:I guess I'm just too much a fan of the old-school Harryhausen-effects A one-of-a-kind effects legend. According to IMDB, they tried to get Harryhausen to consult on the new one, but he adamantly refused. The guy is 89 years old. That could be an indication that they want to be true to his vision, though.
They could make the CGI look exactly like stop-motion if they wanted to, but obviously they're not going that way.
Personally I'm looking forward to it, there just aren't enough monster fights in movies these days, outside of the ridiculous Transformers.

Looks kind of interesting. But in comparing the 1981 vs the 2010 casts, I can't decide yet if the prominence of the cast of the new comes close to that of the old.

I just want to say that I saw Sherlock Holmes and it was much better than I expected.
His character is more physical, which is uncharacteristic, but because his actions are all rooted in his logic I felt it worked really well. So much so that I like this 'new' Holmes much better.
The only problem is I felt it could have been a little shorter, one scene in particular could have been cut-out and the whole film would have been gold.
Worth watching.

kudos:1 | Batman first appeared in DC Detective Comics in 1939. He was often referred to as “The Batman” but also later as “Detective”. There was a huge investigation component to the character and he wasn’t all about beating the snot out of his adversaries while donning a cape and mask.
Therefore I’d say your descriptive skills are fine and MrMoody doesn’t seem too far off either. |

The reboot of Clash Of The Titans looks like it might be good, though I might wait to go see it in a theater until I've seen some reviews. It's due out this coming Friday.

Re: REboot... REboot....REboot. I thought it was ok. While I can hardly remember the "original" movie from 1981, I remember it being better than this one. Weird, huh?
For an action movie it was pretty good, though it dragged some in the middle. The last half hour, from the beginning of the fight in Medusa's Temple on, was pretty good. The suicide bomber Djin was kind of corny, some of the dialog seemed out of place, I don't remember Medusa being sexy, and I remember Pegasus as being a white horse.
