"Imagine being an 18-year-old girl, on holiday with two radical poets, and coming up with an idea for a Gothic horror novel which also more or less invents the genre of science fiction, which then goes on to become such a huge and enduring success, constantly open to reinterpretation and reimagining, that it still seems vivid and alive two hundred years later."

"It’s a really amazing orchestral arrangement, which I think is actually an improvement on the original recording. It’s a total reimagining and it’s got a really beautiful clarinet part in it and takes what is a simple rock’n’roll song and turns it into something really special. It sounds like it’s from the soundtrack to The Wind In The Willows or something, just really forest-y and dreamy."

Visually amazing movie so many things to catch in the background Great reimagining of the classic characters (1 more)
Lots of nostalgia definitely felt like it was more geared towards Generation 1 fans
Story is a bit cliche there are several reveals that were pretty obvious at least to me anyway And some of the plot points and motivations didn't really seem logical (0 more)
Got to catch them all nostalgia that is

Almost very good
Another young adult book by Matt Haig, The Dead Father's Club is a reimagining of Hamlet. Even with serious issues, Haig likes to keep tongue in cheek and fill his books with fun and here's another one. A boys dad died and joins The Dead Father's Club, should he listen to his dad and kill his uncle or does his dad's ghost even exist?

A Wonderful Reimagining
questions readers may have had from the original work. Elizabeth is a dark, yet delightful character who literally "takes care of Victor" to the very end.

We get to meet the monster on a more personal level and information is tied up quite neatly through the existence of two journals. But, no more information shall I reveal lol. Jump in and read for yourself this story of teens true meaning of freedom

Presented in the same style as 'Batman: The Animated Series', 'Caped Crusader' is akin to Amazon Prime's reimagining of the early years of Bruce Wayne's one-man war on crime, with some of the changes made working better than others.

There's also a through-line plot in the first series: that if the rise and fall of Harvey Dent, aka Two Face, with a coda that shows Batmans most famous nemesis may not be far off ...
