At this point I'm going to Ladbrokes and betting against everything Kotaku promotes. They are like Jim Cramer of the gaming industry.

I don't think you're wrong. I do think a good movie would be more profitable than a bad one. I wouldn't show my kid this movie out of principle, because I happen to be of a generation that cares about this franchise. I wouldn't buy any merch, toys, or clothes either. I'm sure some would, but I feel strongly that this movie won't generate the profits they want, and it'll be specifically because they made something terrible.
