The thing that really worries me is that Kevin Smith said this is a good film. He said the same thing about the Phantom Menace and Revenge of the Sith. Hell aintitcool was gushing all over the three star wars prequels then around the release of the clone wars 2008 turd jumped on the lucas bashing express.
Do you guys trust Kevin Smith the guy who swore on his street cred he would never make a Clerks II?
Hollywood is full of ass kissers and general bullshitting. Like the friends and collaborators of Lucas who were not honest enough to tell him his ideas sucked for the prequels and indy 4 so the same is true to even any of the classic trek actors trying to remain in Paramount's good graces and not to burn bridges.
They want to keep things open so they can make money too. Though i think Shatner is deluded if he thinks paramount will ever let him play kirk again.
Even Rod and his mother Majel who sadly passed away embraced JJ's film. So either it is good or it is shit. So far from what little i have seen it is shit, and not The Shit as in slang for being cool or awesome.
The film Premieres here In 1 months time around where i live at midnight the night before.
After the prequels and Indy 4, i am not too sure i want to hand over ten bucks to the cashier in the theaters to see another favorite film series be destroyed before my very eyes in mockery of there once brilliance as movies.
And if your so emotional tied to the characters or series by nostalgia or just like them for whatever reason its like getting punched in the gut or kicked in the nuts. Supposedly that is what people felt after seeing Crystal Numbskull.
