More of the same
Nothing new here at all. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be a sequel, although I think it is, but it could be a remake. Almost identical to the original scene for scene for large parts. The only difference is the camera is up to date and they have a drone. Don't waste your time.
  
There is talk of a remake/reboot of one of my all-time favorite movies, The Last Starfighter. The original writer had held the rights for a long time I guess and even said no to Steven Spielberg at one point.

Now it sounds like it might happen from the writer of Rogue One. They are messing with my childhood here, so not sure how I feel about it.

Others are cast because they look like the animated characters: some would be good in the Disney parade... less convincing on the big screen
Comparison with Robin Williams (RIP)
Pointless remake but adequately done.

So Quill discovers his Father is in gfact this alien being called Ego...quite appropriate. Its all part of a plan to remake the universe in his own image.

While the film has a few good moments (baby Groot, Yandu, Rocket all have stand out scenes) it's ultimately a run of the mill, by the numbers comic book movie. Yes it's pretty, yes it's got a big budget, no I didn't enjoy it.

Tries hard but doesnt deliver
I was a huge Sabrina fan, HUGE! I was so excited for this remake but it just doesnt do it for me. I didnt expect it to be so dark or for her aunts to be soooooo irritating! And whats with the random zombie cousin guy? I managed a couple if episodes and had to give up. Gutted ?
  
Clash Of The Titans (1981)
Clash Of The Titans (1981)
1981 | Action, Adventure, Fantasy
Beautiful mythological tale of perseus saving a princess through battling many a trial.
The effects although great for their time have suffered greatly although the Harryhausen style will always command respect from those in the know.
It's a great fantasy movie where you can forget your issues and bathe in one of the classics that hands down beats the hell out of the CGI heavy remake. One for kids and adults that never really gets old.

KyleQ (267 KP) rated Halloween (1978) in Movies

Halloween (1978)
Halloween (1978)
1978 | Horror
A Carpenter Masterpiece
With an excellent eerie score, chilling suspenseful tone, realistic grounded acting, unforgettable quotable dialog, and genius inventive camera work. John Carpenter's classic slasher about a boogeyman possessed escaped inmate stalking babysitters on All Hallows Eve has been a huge inspiration for slasher films in generally. Not mention it spawned 7 sequels, a remake with a sequel, and a reboot. But after all these years John Carpenter's original Halloween still stands tall above the rest. A masterpiece!

Karen Gillan recommended Jumanji (1995) in Movies (curated)

 
Jumanji (1995)
Jumanji (1995)
1995 | Action, Comedy, Family

"Going a little more lighthearted, number three is the original Jumanji, which is so cheesy because I was in the remake, but that was always one of my favorite films of all time. It’s just pure nostalgia. I think I’m right in that age bracket where it’s like a classic to anyone who’s around my age, and anyone who’s outside of that, it doesn’t seem like it’s so much of a classic to them. Loved it."
