Why "fix" what isn't broken? Not hot on the 3D or cold steel look.

They should just reuse the original poster and also the original film.

I really, really wanted to like the Hobbit movies. I actually do enjoy the first. But the 2nd one was so loving soulless. It was drab, nearly joyless, and just so god drat boring for most of it. It was like someone who hated the Lord of the Rings movies trying to make a Lord of the Rings movie, and only capturing the things that they disliked about them, amplified by an order of magnitude. The Hobbit movies make me sad that they exist.

I think criticisms like the fact that it's ugly, lazy and uninspired are strikes against it even if it only tries to sell itself. And let's say you're a fan and you want a poster - do you want something that actually reflects something from this film or will you settle for a big red thing? I mean, if you find that aesthetically pleasing you're wrong then that's fine, but even then you can't honestly think that poster is anything more than mediocre, right?

Do you know why I prefer the original poster (even though it's not that great)? Because it represents the essence from the film perfectly - it's a film about idiots who want to do a terrorism and the dumb ideas they have. Like attaching a bomb to a crow. What the film isn't about, however, is what I assume is a prayer mat and four heraldic lions - one with a fuse. Even for a piece of memorabilia, that doesn't really work.

This is sort of off-topic at this point, but I'm surprised no one pointed out yet that the poster is a take on the English national football (and probably other sports) team crest.



Not sure if that changes your feelings at all, but it isn't just a random image of heraldic lions.

Oh cool, so glad someone in Hollywood got my letter asking for a 1:1 Westworld remake.

Ah man, I would prefer that a Westworld remake be an inverse of the theme: instead of the park breaking down and the robots killing the participants, I'd prefer that a self-maintaining Westworld essentially be a bubble of robot order in a sea of anarchy following an economic collapse, still going through the motions. I want to see Chris the Gunslinger defending the park against invading bandits straight out of Mad Max.

The really strange thing is, I didn't really care for the first one all that much. SO, you would think that I wouldn't like the Extended Edition, since the movie already felt so bloated. But the extra scenes took what was a bloated mess, really balanced it out, and made it an enjoyable movie.

The second one I liked better than the first on it's own, but I was bothered by just about everything involving Legolas. I'm curious to see if the EE makes it better like with the first.

I was always glad his character survived the first movie. In the novel he gets severely raptorized and thensome. Also despite it being a really mediocre game, Trespasser had some really cool (though probably non-canon) voice over stuff by Attenborough himself as Hammond talking about the origins of the park in which Wu featured heavily and it made me like his character even more.

E: Also that poster and just about everything Trevorrow has been tweeting has made me feel excited as all hell.

I pretty much checked out sometime after the spiders, and every other time someone was talking because the dialogues/monologues were heinous. I only enjoyed the experience because I was watching the film with my family and friends and when we went to dinner after we pretty much just caught up with each other and bitched about how god awful the dwarf/elf romance is.

I figured the tone-deaf use of an older style would imply a feeling of disunity and tension. But mostly because he said web 2.0 and web 2.0 is mid 00s.
