This looks lame. Why not just actually reboot in to 2D show a la Duck Tales? That would have been so much simpler and less costly. Greedy morons.
Like... there's actually a lot of potential for what they could do with a RR reboot, both in terms of creativity AND money making but they're going with.... how many times are studios going to tread out this kind of movie with the "They're in the REAL WORLD now!" or all the stupid freaking self referential humor? The only thing that looks interesting to me is having a 3D Dale interacting with a 2D Chip.

It's the exact same problem I have with Rocky & Bullwinkle, Smurfs, Underdog, Clifford, Alvin & the Chimpunks, Sonic, and now this. Disney thinks they're saving money by being this formulaic. All their doing is wasting more money than doing a 2D animated show on Disney XD or Disney+. Because now, almost no one is going to like it, aside from those that are too young or don't know any better. Chip & Dale I did watch back in the day, but I was a bigger fan of Darkwing Duck, Tale Spin, Goof Troop, Bonkers, and some other animated Disney TV shows during 90s.

Hey look it’s Forrest Gump turned Elvis’s degenerate manager -



I remember reading back when the pandemic started about Hanks getting COVID before filming. Glad he recovered and was able to get it made.

Did you see the prequel, though? Maybe best left alone.
Ironic enough, the prequel pretty much got the same reception the original 1982 version got when it first released. The only difference is that there was way more studio interference. The cgi, you can blame on the studio. The special effects team had all the practical effects done and ready to go and it looked great, but apparently practical effects are "too outdated" and and the idiotic execs who meddling when they don't belong, demanded for CGI to be overlayered the practical effect. Dumbasses. At this point, if they decide to do another movie, just make it its own continuity.

I feel that maybe the stunt hanging out the side of a Shinkansen train at speed is probably just past the point of acceptable breaks from reality but then again its be done forever with planes so who gives a shit.

This looks like fun.

I've noticed ever since the release of Kate, we've been getting white guy or girl fucking up shit in Tokyo, Japan, or a Japanese inspired setting again. This movie, and the recent Nichola Cage film, Prisoners of Ghostland.

Looks like they'll be focusing on Jedi stragglers a bit more than just on Kenobi.

New Halo trailer

I've been seeing talk online about how the show's first two episodes are pretty mediocre. Which is a little sad, I'm not a fan of the games but I always thought the Halo universe was fun.

Yeahhhhh those powers look like shit. I get it, a little too similar to Mr. Fantastic, but surely they could have done better than that.

They definitely had the budget to afford it, but I'll give it a slight pass, as I'm just happy that she gets an adaption now. Not a hardcore fan, but still happy.
