Spielberg and Lucas didn't like Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

But I guess what's more important, is what their children think of it.

Yes because Temple of Doom was a slap in the face to Indiana Jones, removing his love interests, curbing back the action to be more sensitive, and, oh wait…. Maybe ToD wasn’t a rebuke of the previous franchise installments?

It’s not very clear at all. She critiqued some of the characters and provided her own opinion. People do that all the time. It doesn’t mean they automatically dislike the film and don’t respect it. The introduction of my Master’s thesis includes an analysis and critique of Humbert Humbert and other parts from Nabokov’s Lolita. It’s my favorite book of all time and I have tremendous respect and appreciation for it, and I’ve critiqued it and provided analysis multiple times.

How exactly do you know that there won’t be people out there who will love and respect the upcoming movie?

I can't tell if you're a parody account or not, so I'm going to stop responding to your posts.

George Lucas also didn't like Empire Strikes Back, but it's widely regarded as the best Star Wars product ever created. Not that I think Temple of Doom is remotely the best of the original trilogy (I like it a lot more than Kingdom or Dial, but less than Raiders and Crusade). But just saying that someone's status or lack thereof shouldn't dictate an individual's opinion on a product.

When deciding whether I enjoy a movie or not, the only opinion that matters to me is my own. That should be the norm IMO. People should be free to like or dislike whatever they want regardless of whatever anyone else says. That said, it can still be important and interesting in its own way to hear the perspectives of those who were either involved with or close to those involved in major classic projects.

I'm not generally interested in the culture war nonsense waged by the "anti woke" faction. And i'm generally far more on the "woke" side than not. But even I roll my eyes at some of the ridiculous over correction Disney has been doing. And i'm far from alone in this opinion. There was a thread about this remake recently (regarding the production photos/videos that were leaked) on one of the most overtly woke forums you can possible imagine, even most of the people there were cringing at the mess.

I just rewatched the original animated film last night, so some brief thoughts:

1) In case some of you haven’t watched it in awhile, please do so. It’s an absolute masterpiece. Each and every frame is gorgeous and carefully drawn by clear craftsman at the top of their game.

2) Snow White has clearly reciprocated her love interest in the prince within the first few minutes of the film. It’s not clear they’ve never met before, but even if that was the first time they met, Snow White visible demonstrates an amorous interest in him. That somewhat negates the “stalker” conceit or the “she was reanimated by a stranger who kissed her without consent” taking point many like to spout. Seriously, watch the first five minutes of the movie.

This whole argument is so silly, but I guess there's nothing else to talk about since so little is known about the live-action remake.

I haven't watched the original in quite some time, but it's not going anywhere. I don't know how many kids even see the original these days. It's such an old movie, I'm not sure my daughter has even seen it; I know my grandchildren have not. All this interest in the remake coming out has probably stirred up a good deal of interest in the original. I'll bet once the trailers start coming out for the remake, there will be new interest in seeing the original. That's a good thing; it will be seen more often - nothing is getting ruined.

Honestly, I don't care what actors say about the movies they are hired to act in and it's my opinion that the general public pays way too much attention to those folks in any event. I remember the fiasco that followed ice skater Nancy Kerrigan saying "this is so corny" about the Disney parade she was in after the Olympics. Sometimes people who are constantly the center of attention say things better left unsaid, especially if they're young.

Any movie made several decades after the original will be different, and live-action movies will be more fleshed out than animated versions because of the human actors involved. I loved the live-action remake of TLM, but didn't care as much for Beauty and the Beast. I actually preferred the TV version where Josh Groban was the beast - the singing was better.

I'll probably give the live-action Snow White a chance, just based on how good TLM turned out. I still think it's a shame some people refuse to see that movie because of fairly insignificant changes.

it’s unbelievable how this world has such a mob mentality lately… Zegler is being attacked right now because a certain side decided they did not like what she said regarding the strike… since there is not much Hollywood news due to the strike decided to make her the new target… so they went through her old interviews to pick them apart as to decide which narrative to run with…which in my opinion is much ado about nothing… just her opinions… we all got them

So what’s the current duster talking point on this?

Who cares what the lead actress says?

Gets cast as the lead actress in remake of an all time classic animated film.

Then states she doesn’t like the film.

Then rambles on nonsensically to show how much smarter and better a person she is then anyone associated with the original.

What’s not to like!!

Take my money!!!!!!

Why be so insulting? If you care more about what the actor said than what’s in the movie, just don’t see it.

But don’t start calling people names just because they don’t care at all about what some young celebrity says. That’s a perfectly rational position not at all limited to Disney movies.

What did I sow???… just stating facts… as there is definitely people against Disney right now… and if you agree with them…what are doing on a Disney fan site… that’s all I am going say on the matter as we are not suppose to dig into politics here… it is impossible to talk about the matter without
