Star Trek Into Darkness (Pre-release)

[Angelus Lupus]

Idealized ??? More like recast.

 

[Father]

Ewww. I don't like the Bird of Prey

 

[Mola Rob]

Let me describe it like this. JJ's New Trek is not screen accurate, but rather an idealized replica!

Idealized for the mass market and action movie fans maybe.

just got back from seeing (most) of it.

Was so bad, I actually walked out on the last 20 minutes.

Wow, I haven't seen it yet, maybe I'll just wait for the Red Box rental to check it out. Especially since the more I hear about it, the more it sounds like a bad Space, Wrath of Kahn Seed episode.

Around this forum, crap seems to be the general consensus...go anywhere else (that isn't a forum) and it's quite the opposite. Mostly.

Yeah - Variety's review and the returns are all because of this forum.

You may want to actually go over to the Post Release thread to better gauge RPF fan reaction, this thread is has run it's course, most participants are over in the other one.

Did you see Thursdays box office?

Looks like it will come in limpin 3 OR 4 this weekend once Fast and Furious 6 is released

First of all, Variety's review praised the movie, so I don't know why you're trying to use it as a knock against the movie. Second of all, the movie has only been out for a week, give it two or three before counting returns.

Once I see the movie next weekend, I will. Are things more even over there?

I certainly don't think there's an overwhelming majority against the film, even if it has its vocal detractors.

Reviewing most of the 14 pages, it's 40 loving or liking it, 16 disliking or meh, so running about 2/3 approval rating fro the RPF. I know Rotten Tomatoes has audience approval tracking about 15% higher, around 86.

Could have sworn it was Variety but it may have been the DGA newsletter that smeared it - oh well.

And Opening weekend is all that matters - the drop will be big this weekend - not huge but steady. But I'm tired of saying the film is a failure - it's pretty obvious, both financially and creatively - and all the wish you may wish you mights you put into it can't change that. Now I'm off to do my gypsy trick to Superman.

I'll keep the horses hitched to the wagon first sign of trouble and we are outta there! :lol

Ah, the cries and protestations of the ignorant and arrogant. The self appointed arbiters of taste. But the Emporer has no clothes. They are simple men with thin skins and equally fragile ego's. And they reek of desperation.

Thanks for doing the leg work, I figured it was something like that. Everyone that I've talked to whose seen it liked it or loved it.

I had a less nice version of that same statement going, but stopped writing it when I saw this.

With pleasure...and I'm not even a "professional writer" unlike some.
