How have the other films and books done????Is that speculation? Certainly it can't be an intelligent comment because one does need to see a film first to do that, or so I've been told.

Ok, ok. I've played the movie in its entirety in my mind... and it sucked. Especially the part where they resurrected Thanos.
The Hunger Games film comes out first. It will be a blockbuster. You can hate on her all you want but she is shaping up to be a major star.
I think it will be a hit. The book was very good, and the main character was the main antagonist of the originals. Unlike Fantastic Beasts which was just poorly executed either wayWill it? Honest question as I am not sure how it is projected to do or how the fanbase is viewing it. Obviously, the original series did very well but sometimes prequels without the main cast don't perform as well - Harry Potter vs Fantastic Beasts being an obvious example - and I wasn't sure if a Hunger Games without Katniss is a surefire hit.
They may if they haven’t already closed their minds. People miss so many good things by pre-judging. Why not wait to see what the film is about before deciding whether or not to see it?
The problem I’m seeing is that some people aren’t waiting to see what happens when the direct marketing of the film starts up. They’re concluding the film is going to fail and suggesting reshooting it or sending it direct to Disney+ before any marketing has even begun. What sense does that make?But again, why should the expectation be that people "need to" see a film? A potential viewer is under no obligation to buy the product (i.e. a movie ticket). A potential viewer sees the information available and decides whether it is worth their time and money to buy the product.
It is up to Disney (or whatever studio is appropriate for a specific film) to sell their movie to the audience and inspire them to see it. We'll see what happens once the actual direct marketing for the films starts up, but I do not think Disney has done a good job with PR for the film so far which lies on them as the studio trying to sell tickets.
If people have "closed their minds" or "pre-judged", it is Disney that needs to change that sentiment.

Prospective customers are free to form opinions about a project based on what they see and hear. Disney is free to do what it wants with its iteration of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, even if that means stripping the film of a potential love story and doing away with the dwarfs. That’s fine. They can even choose to distance themselves from the source material even further. Their prerogative. We as customers are free to make initial judgments based on those choices.The problem I’m seeing is that some people aren’t waiting to see what happens when the direct marketing of the film starts up.

I thought there was going to be a love story in Snow White (at least from the little we've heard). I recently watched the original Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and I'm at a loss as to how Disney could make that film today. Current audiences would be either falling asleep or walking out in the first 10 minutes complaining that nothing was "happening." So I'm okay with people who love the animated version keeping to that version - it was beautifully done and a gorgeous piece of art that was perfect for its time and is not going anywhere.Prospective customers are free to form opinions about a project based on what they see and hear.

I love the Batman character. If it came out that WBD, as part of its reimagining, had Bruce Wayne as a man who developed superpowers and accidentally killed his own parents, and now carries a gun - hey, it’s their choice. Until convinced otherwise, I likely would not choose to see such a film.
I don’t know how many people have made a final impression but Disney is definitely fighting an uphill battle to get butts in theater seats due to the actors comments and the photos.The problem is that some people have already formed final impressions. It’s impossible to say at this stage whether it’s going to be a good or bad film.
Or in the case of the forums lately… many people seem to enjoy criticizing Disney films with glee without all the info or even ever watching said filmBecause this is a discussion and board and it involves people... discussing things. Sure, we could just not talk about the film at all until more information comes out, but people are on this specific board subdivision because they like to discuss the aspects of Disney films/television/streaming.
I happen to think all of the information I’ve heard and seen of this film makes it look silly and tedious, and by the sounds of things I’m far from alone in this regard.Or in the case of the forums lately… many people seem to enjoy criticizing Disney films with glee without all the info or even ever watching said film
What do you consider silly and tedious from what you’ve heard?I happen to think all of the information I’ve heard and seen of this film makes it look silly and tedious, and by the sounds of things I’m far from alone in this regard.
We’ll all know in a few months (when we see a trailer, when the reviews roll out, how well it performs) whether Disney read the room with this purported changes.

I want to see them never again remake a prior film in any form what-so-ever. That's the change I want to see. I suspect I am going to be disappointed...It’s Disney’s film to make as they see fit. Next to nothing is known about this film at this time. What exactly is it you want to see changed and why?
I don’t know anything about the cast other than what was apparently a leaked production photo. The whole point is that both Snow White and the Evil Queen are beautiful. Otherwise there would be no need to hassle the mirror so often.I’d say the 7 hipsters who were cast because of Dinklage’s comments. An Evil Queen who is more attractive than Snow White. But who knows maybe in this version she’s not jealous of Snow White for her beauty but instead jealous of her mental fortitude or vocal range?
That a fair point. I feel the exact opposite. The live-action remakes are much more interesting to me.I want to see them never again remake a prior film in any form what-so-ever. That's the change I want to see. I suspect I am going to be disappointed...
As far as mental fortitude and vocal range, those are definitely qualities/talents to be admired aren’t they?
It’s not like the Evil Queen in the original wasn’t very beautiful also.An Evil Queen who is more attractive than Snow White.
