I'm cool with it. The series went downhill after the first one, and the third was abysmal.

They've all been terrible and that's surprising because it was about the opposite I thought i'd get from Raimi. I thought he would bring some originality but instead he brought fourth the most cliched pieces of junk I've seen in a while.

yeah this is my main source of surprise/confusion on this

the movie series is like 8 years old, and also - whether you're a fan or not - the movies have grossed an insane amount of money, even the 3rd one too did huge in the box office

you usually don't reboot something that's either a) financially successful already or b) less than like 12-15 years old

pretty uncommon to see such, especially scrapping everything in the last 8 years including one in the last what, 2-3?

This is a really surprising, but seemingly bad idea.

If you've seen 3:10 to Yuma, he's the son. Better than Tobey Maguire.

Yeah, I read it on the link they had to his bio. It's been a while since I've seen it, though.

Hey, at least it wasn't Hayden Christensen, destroyer of franchises.

Has he really earned that title at this point? I dont think he's really gotten any work outside of star wars has he?

You don't remember Goosebumps or Are You Afraid of the Dark? Those were the most compelling pieces of film on Nickelodeon. He tainted them.

Also, he was the worst actor in Factory Girl. Why anyone let him act in an Andy Warhol/Edie Sedgwick piece is beyond me.

All that aside, destroying Star Wars is like peeing on the burning bush (if the Old Testament thing floats your boat). I'm aware that George Lucas played as much a role in doing that, but the only way to make bad writing worse is bad acting/delivery.
