You know why the 80's were great? Because they made thought provoking content that was decades ahead of its time. Now people take that amazing content and repackage it as total crap.
I don't know if it's because the current creators are creatively bankrupt (and have not lived actual lives upon which to draw upon), we have dumbed down the audience, and there are structural costs that make movies too expensive but we simply do not see studios taking creative chances anymore with new IP's. I also there there is a audience fragmentation issue. It's too easy to wait until it's on streaming. Sure, we had the similar issue with just waiting on DVD's but it usually took some time to go to DVD so you were incentivized to see in the theatre. NOW, you can literally see it 30 days later if not day and date with the theatre release. It's insane.
I think I'll judge it AFTER I watch it, not before. Fans who whine with knee-jerk irrational hatred are exactly why we can't have nice things. (Hint, even the 1939 Wizard of Oz was the 5th or SIXTH remake of the original material. And yet that's now the definitive version.)

I can't take it. The only good thing about this is maybe it will make some people who've never seen it hunt down the original and give it a well-deserved watch.
One of the funniest scenes in the original movie was the Time Bandits singing Me & My Shadow in front of Napoleon and they ended up fighting each other - absolutely hilarious! I doubt if anything like this will be in the series.
So many of these remakes, reimaginings and reboots only serve to demonstrate that the original wasn’t an IP but rather a specific vision from an individual (or group of individuals working together). The newer stuff is just homogeneous.

Kinda peaked with Jojo Rabbit and turned into just another "big movies with big budgets and little to none creativity" director, sadly. Loved his early stuff.
on a serious note with the CGI/ green screen tech now they could/should of made a time bandits sequel. they can copy exactly what an actor sounds - looks/looked like from years ago. no need for actual human actors for 80% of a film. they could take all the original look of film and actors who are now mostly dead and recreate them digitally you wont even realize it. thats where movies should be heading.

Wow this looks so rubbish. The Terry Gilliam one still stands up, I'm unsure what they thought they could offer by remaking it... Maybe I'm just too old now...
Before they ban old movies so we can't compare quality, just watch the original. Enough with this crap. The old one is there, an all time great, just enjoy that and let Hollywood die already.

Rune Temte is my favorite Vikingr I've ever watched in a show or movie. He was brilliant as Ubba in "The Last Kingdom."
Nice of them to make a tralier showing us how bad it’s going to be. Warning not to watch. 👍
Wow this looks so rubbish. The Terry Gilliam one still stands up, I'm unsure what they thought they could offer by remaking it... Maybe I'm just too old now...
Before they ban old movies so we can't compare quality, just watch the original.
Enough with this crap. The old one is there, an all time great, just enjoy that and let Hollywood die already.
