Oh for eff sake. I am sick and tired of exactly that kind of self-righteous holier than thou whining. WTF "insult?" Dude unless you own the rights to the 80s version, its not your place and not your problem. On the contrary, as someone who saw the 80s version IN THE 80S, in the theater, this looks funny as hell. The problem is too many 'fans' are just petty whiners, perpetually filling out their "Entitled Butthurt Bingo Card" with the predictable ranting of "I know it sucks even though I haven't seen it," and "I hate remakes" and the ever-present first-world crocodile tear inducing: "Hollywood has ruined my childhood." Get over yourself.
You know why the 80's were great? Because they made thought provoking content that was decades ahead of its time. Now people take that amazing content and repackage it as total crap.
I don't know if it's because the current creators are creatively bankrupt (and have not lived actual lives upon which to draw upon), we have dumbed down the audience, and there are structural costs that make movies too expensive but we simply do not see studios taking creative chances anymore with new IP's. I also there there is a audience fragmentation issue. It's too easy to wait until it's on streaming. Sure, we had the similar issue with just waiting on DVD's but it usually took some time to go to DVD so you were incentivized to see in the theatre. NOW, you can literally see it 30 days later if not day and date with the theatre release. It's insane.
I think I'll judge it AFTER I watch it, not before. Fans who whine with knee-jerk irrational hatred are exactly why we can't have nice things. (Hint, even the 1939 Wizard of Oz was the 5th or SIXTH remake of the original material. And yet that's now the definitive version.)
@@SpreadingtheMuse The problem is that, once you see something and it turns out you were RIGHT that it was garbage, it's too late. You can't get your time or money back. Nor can you take back your contribution or time watched to the totals that the studio will brag about. By ignoring your gut and giving into the "you can't judge it UNTIL you see it" rhetoric, you have let people who did not deserve your time or money EXACTLY what they wanted and you are left powerless to protest. Better to hear from critics whom you trust, since the studios no longer deserve it.
Apple TV turned off comments on their post😂. The took all the charm and coolness out of the Terry Gilliam original, trashed it apparently. That’s too bad, this looks awful and it’s just a trailer
It is very reminiscent of this famous passage: *_“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”_* - George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four
One of the funniest scenes in the original movie was the Time Bandits singing Me & My Shadow in front of Napoleon and they ended up fighting each other - absolutely hilarious! I doubt if anything like this will be in the series.
So many of these remakes, reimaginings and reboots only serve to demonstrate that the original wasn’t an IP but rather a specific vision from an individual (or group of individuals working together). The newer stuff is just homogeneous.

Q: "Let's a make a re-make of a film that nobody wants to see, but how can we guarantee that it'll suck balls and bomb at the theater?" A: "Let's cast Lisa Kudrow in the lead."
on a serious note with the CGI/ green screen tech now they could/should of made a time bandits sequel. they can copy exactly what an actor sounds - looks/looked like from years ago. no need for actual human actors for 80% of a film. they could take all the original look of film and actors who are now mostly dead and recreate them digitally you wont even realize it. thats where movies should be heading.
The original movie was a staple of my childhood. It is pure, inimitable magic. I love Taika Waititi's work, and think Jermaine Clement is always a joy to watch. But I am wholly heartbroken over this.
Who the fuck though that this could be good enough to be compared with the original one... hope they will not pretend the same with Brazil and Munchausen..
