Wysps your right bud , I originally was very against this film , as many members can testify, but after a long think about things , I realised it was mostly based on nothing more that my own bias, hear say and a blend resentment at current Hollywood trends.
Iv realised over time, that this film really did need new ideas injected into it. And I'm incredibly pleased that Shane black took the initiative to try new things and broaden the horizon. Also when I finally got the script , it got progressively better each time I read it.
There are elements that I'm still unsure of, and some that I still just damn right hate. However the script is so old , that I don't really expect the film to look or feel anything like the script and judging from everything that's come out over the last month , including set reports , stills and the trailers , there's nothing there I can honestly say " I didn't like" there is however plenty I can confidently say "I do like"
so sure iv come round full circle. But I just think in my opinion a lot of the backlash is now unwarranted and uncalled for. With Openmaw it's just friendly banter , but there are a lot of people out there right now that are really grating on me, especially on YouTube etc.
Corporal hicks put it down to a T a few months back , when he said on the lines of " if it's too like the original the haters jump on it and say " it's just a rehash " and if it strays to far from the original , the haters then say " it's nothing like the original"
it's them types that I don't like , openmaw is cool I'm just messing with him
