I do know that I have a very high tolerance when it comes to most things in general... be it movies, tv-series, comics, and games, etc... I can say that I did not really dislike any of the Terminator stuff that came out after the first 2, I can't say I disliked the Robocop remake, neither can I say I disliked the new Conan movie... I actually really liked The Amazing Spider-Man 2, heck I even think Star Wars 1-3 are ok movies (they might lack things to be called proper Star Wars movies... but I do by no means think they are junk), and I have liked most of the Transformers movies to... and I am certain I have liked several other movies (and TV-series, games etc) that most of the viewers have not. An d of course I am worried about the upcoming remakes of Highlander, Mad Max (although from what I hear this one might actually be really good), Starship Troopers, Bloodsport, He-Man, The Crow, Escape From New York, the new Star Wars movies (although, my optimism for them have become pretty high actually), and the list goes on really.
But I just don't judge movies befor they have come out, and I don't judge movies that I have not seen... no matter what other people may say, be they critics or the general movie goer. I tend to take movies/series/etc for what they are, and not what I or others thought they should have been. I just find life is so much better by doing that... so when my friends are compaining about how they are so bored because there are no good new series or movies or games or what ever, I go "oh I am sorry to hear that..." and keep enjoying my self watching or playing things they claim to suck, where as I enjoy them.
With that said, it's not like I do not see the flaws with things, why a movie might not be considered to be good, or considered to be a bad remake or what ever. I do see those things to, just like most people do, I just don't get as bothered by it as most other people do... either because I do not deem it a big enough fault for the movie to be "ruined" by it, tht it's just a so minor thing that it's not even worth my time reacting over it, or because I just don't care that thing X is supposedly "not like the original!" or something. Also, it's not like there are no movies/tv-series/games/etc which I do not like... there are a lot of things I do not like, I just choice to say "not for me" and leave it at that, and not go on a rampage about how this and that sucks or something. Most of these things though are just things that are outside of my wheelhouse, outside of my interests... and as such where not made for me. I really don't see a reason why I should get upset about Twilight and that their Vampires sparkle (which I find to be rediculous), but those movies where not made with me in mind, a 35 year old overwight guy with a long beard (because he finds shaving to be one of the most boring things ever, even though he really does not like to have a long mustach since it tends to annoyingly dip into the food he is eating, so only shaves when his lazyness get's over shadowed by his annoyance of his mustach getting in the way), has really long hair (because he has always likes to have long hair, even though he should not have long hair anymore due to a constant climbing forhead, but is to stubborn to cut it short...
), who is into multiple different and really nerdy things in general... they where made with young women or teengirls in mind... which is pretty far from what I am after all... clearly. XD Not that there are not things I watch that where not made with me in mind... there are many things I like that where not made with me in mind, that I still like.
So... just because they are changing things with the new Terminator movie... they are by no means invalidating the existence of the previous movies, at all. Especially not the first 2. They are giving us the ability to experience more stuff from a world we like/love, a world that we all probably do want to see more from, but have yet to really get one that truly embodies what the first 2 movies did. I rather see them try to make more movies based on this universe, or any other universe I happend to like, then there not being anything new at all for ever. I rather give people a chance to make more in those universes, so that I and others can experience more from those worlds, and not have to constantly go back and watch the same old movies over and over and over again... which I know a lot of people do like to do, but that's just not me, I rarely rewatch movies or tv-series, or replay games or what ever. I like to get to experience new things, be it in the form of a sequal, a remake, re-imagining's, or what ever.
I do have to say though... during the last... oh I don't know... since the time I became who I am today... so around 15 years old... the only time I so far have really reacted about how bad of a job was done with a movie... was this year actually. As much as people dislike all of the Transformers movies, I my self have enjoyed them... untill I saw Transformers: Age of Extinction, the 4th one, the one that came out this year. Now, I can forgive a lot with the Transformers movies, and most of them do balance on the edge of not being good in my opinion, but manage to stay inside the line for me where I feel they are atleast ok and watchable... but the 4th one REALLY put me over the edge, THAT is truly a movie which I can compleatly get behind all the people who say that it sucks. And what does it for me is not so much the scenes or the acting or anything like that... it's the way how the movie has been put together. It feels like they made two 2h+ long movies, and then where told "no we only want one movie, fix it", and then jammed these two movies together into a 4h+ long movie, where someone then went "hang on... we can't release a 4 hour long movie!"... and decided to fix it by cutting out some 75+ minuts of the entite movie. Which results in what I feel like a movie where there are scenes missing, with strange timejumps all over the place that makes no sence at all... not to mention atleast one or two scenes where you can clearly see that they have put together the entire scene in the wrong order. So really... the only reasin I think Transformers 4 is a bad movie, is because it feels like an unfinished movie... or 2 gutted movies where your missing loads of what should have been in there. I would much rather they had made it into two movies, a Part 1 and Part 2, where they split it around when they travel over to China. That would have made a lot more sence, especially if this seemingly cut away material would have fleshed out what remained of those two parts.
Anywho... im babbling... and if not semi, then compleatly, offtopic as well. So I will stop writing my wall of text now...
