PhoenixDown posted : I heard The Crow is going to be remade for a release in 2015. Not much in the way of details yet but it sounds like a revamp of the original script. I find that to be a real shame as there were other "crow" stories that would've made a great adaptation.

"Audiences will be given a sixth helping of X-Men plus Fast and Furious 6, Die Hard 5, Scary Movie 5 and Paranormal Activity 5. There will also be Iron Man 3, The Hangover 3, and second outings for The Muppets, The Smurfs, GI Joe and Bad Santa.

Reboots include the Superman film Man of Steel, plus a new version of The Evil Dead, a new Mad Max, and a second film in the latest reincarnation of Star Trek. "

Kearnstd posted : reboots and recycling are not always bad but the issue is finding a director and money men willing to allow a movie that is good to be made.

a reboot of Judge Dredd could be pretty cool... I mean the one we know currently even Stallone says was bad.

if done like Avatar with the same quality 3D and then find someone who can give it an actual plot it could be pretty kickass.. and id love to see the Mega City is the same IMAX 3D glory as the floating mountains in Avatar.

ksharp25 posted : Well its been mentioned previously in this post, but, a reboot is a total new story or origin, etc. A remake is just a new version or spin on an accepted story-line. Subtle difference? Sure. But a difference non-the-less.

Now with that said, Hollywood sources have actually stated why some properties are being rebooted. In the case of comic book movies, its because the comic books themselves have been rebooted. Spider-Man, Batman, Superman, Hulk, Iron Man, etc were all written in the 50s-60s. In some cases 40s or earlier (preliminary nerd rage flame defense) depending on property. A lot of super heros from DC and Marvel were rebooted in comic form in the late 60s to "modernize" the character, evironment, culture and events closer to the actual world environment of the 60s themselves to be more relevant to kids of that generation.

Well its been happening again. Since about...2006 or so, many of the super heros are getting fresh reboots in the comics to once again bring them up to speed with todays world. Some of which just came out in the last year AFTER modern movies have been made. Just one example...Spider-Man. After the Toby Maguire film trilogy, Marvel kicked out an all new origin story for Peter Parker to modernize him to todays world and technology for comic readers. Many others are getting the same treatment if they have not already. Iron Man, Hulk, XMen, Superman, Thor, etc. SO that is why a even NEWER Spider-Man reboot movie is in production to release later in 2011.

So despite Iron Man movies, 2 Hulks, and others (like the XMen trilogy) already having modern film versions from 2002-2009; since alot of the comic origin stories just got re-written in the past 2 years or so, get ready...here they come. Gotta milk em till their dry is the current model for Hollywood these days.

This one looks like a good concept but will wait and see if they come out with a non 3D version... Not everyone can see 3D correctly, and I'm not about to plunk down a premium over a regular ticket price just to get a migraine headache from a 3D movie... :o

For an action movie it was pretty good, though it dragged some in the middle. The last half hour, $fontbg from the beginning of the fight in Medusa's Temple on, $Fontbg was pretty good. $fontbg 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. $Fontbg

Octavean posted : 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.

His character is more physical, which is uncharacteristic, but because his actions are all rooted in his logic I felt it worked really well.

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.

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.
