So I've been in a different state for this week, trying to
think of what to write for this blog and come up with jack shit. Has anybody
watched the new Daredevil series yet? The one on Netflix trying to reboot Ben
Affleck's film, which wasn't horrible (bad, but not Hulk bad), except it vomited out this travesty:
They really got to stop doing that, providing the public
with movies starring an actress dressed in skimpy clothes ready to kick some
ass. It would be one thing if the movies were rated R, then the production
companies would be sure to gain attendance at the movies for the possible
chance to get a look at the title character naked.
Wrong film. Try Swordfish or Monster's Ball.

It just got me to thinking how bad they want everybody to love comic book movies (or shows now). The production companies are practically trying to force it on us, and if we don't like what they give us, they try again. I just mentioned Hulk, and that's a prime example. Ang Lee tried and failed (what would you expect from the guy who gave us Brokeback Mountain), everybody noted that the movie sucked, so a few years later, they tried again with Edward Norton, and in my opinion, they succeeded.
Fantastic Four,
the first one, could have been better, but then part 2 came out, and when
something that is supposed to be a hardcore action superhero movie gets the
same rating as Madagascer and Despicable Me, you know they did
something wrong. Now they got a new version coming out this summer, rebooting
the franchise once again.
I hear they are talking about rebooting Blade. Marvel has
plans on making films for the next 20 years or so. So does DC, trying to get a
piece of the action. I wouldn't be surprised if Elektra gets her own reboot (I
hear she isn't in the new series, but I'm only on episode 3).
Either way, reboots are happening. If nobody likes Ant Man when it comes out, they'll try
again, and again, until we accept it.
