And he still moved and sounded 80 years old...

It's like the opposite of Johnny Knoxville dressing as an old guy

I like the original movies and I’m considering to go see it - is it worth it?

I put this up as another comment:

No spoilers, for me it felt like it was cutting bits and pieces from the original films and remixing them.

"Oh, this is just like that bit from Raiders where Marian gets kidnapped... Oh, hey, that's like when the tank ground up against the wall..."

There's entirely too much of "Well if you liked that, you'll probably like this..." moments.

Which isn't always bad, but it doesn't generate new memories so much as throw back to the others.

Yeah. that's with many of these.

A hommage here and there is nice, but some movies just feel like a remized Frankenstein best-of and feels so artificial.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yup, and at that point, you may as well just re-watch the originals.

I would say no. All these movies look like dumb marvel movies where nothing looks real anymore.
