That Batman thing. It was alright. It's not really my cup of tea but Mr M liked it.
Seems to be a of a Marmite film, I enjoyed it, Mrs T less so.
But the trailers! We saw four trailers for upcoming new films. I say 'new'. We had:
Dredd - a remake of Judge Dredd
Apparently this is closer to the comic than the camp Sly Stallone one (I swear I saw a row of pink chiffon tents in that one)
Man of Steel - a remake of Superman
Dear god, NO! It's been done to death, on big screen and small, just give it a rest, like Spiderman, it's run it's course.
Total Recall - a remake of, well, Total Recall, completely without irony
Hmmm, might be ok, probably won't
Loopers - a man comes from the future to kill himself in the past, basically, Terminator with Bruce Willis and less robots.
Oh dear
Someone needs to write some new stories.....
The big studios are resting on their laurels, they know what sells and so will do it to death (look a the dearth of Jaws clones in the late '70's and early '80's for comparison). The Studios are getting very risk averse, as they tend to in tight economic times. This is bad for the average cinema goer.
