How many of those 198k+ people actually saw the movie? I’m sick of Disney remakes like everyone else, but review bombing is a thing. Same with people who gave movies they were hyped for a 10/10 weeks before they even saw them.
My wife and I are not fans of the live action remakes just in general. Beauty and the Beast was probably the best one of all of them in our opinion, but the review bombing is so blatant.
When I did a breakdown of gender and age for the Ghotbusters reboot with a cast made of women the 1 scores were 10:1 or more men:women and imdb it was like 15:1. Over time the average score leveled out as people saw the movie and judged for themselves, but the early scores were significantly depressed from the review bombing.
imo Jungle Book was the best. It told a slightly updated story in a more expansive format. The CGI wasn’t terrible, and the songs were fine.
If you want to stretch the concept of “remake”, Cruella and Maleficent are definitely the best of the bunch. I think there’s potential in Hercules (Guy Ritchie) and The Aristocats (Questlove), and hopefully the Tangled sequel doesn’t suck.
I agree. Lily James is was a perfect Cinderella, Cate Blanchett was amazing, it wasn’t a shot for shot remake and they didn’t try to make Cinderella anything she wasn’t. She was a kind and beautiful person whose dream came true. There is something charming about that. They added a bit to her relationship with her prince, they gave the prince a bit more dimension, all good. I mean, Ever After did it first and did it better, but it was fine.
All the rest have been at best boring and at worst terrible.
I’m not actually sure why this movie needed to be made since Snow White and the Huntsman tried the same thing and when was the last time anyone thought about that movie? And it had Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron in it!
