Beast Wars did suck, but it can't be disputed that it brought Transformers back to popularity which has been continued and grown since then.
the original Transformers line died, and didn't come close to establishing a nearly 15 years of success. it tried and it failed at some point. consumers lost interest. not only that, but they tried to replicate the early 80's Transformers with Generation 2 and the line never took off, so it is ridiculous to claim all that needs to be done is to continue to redo what has been done before. empirical evidence has proof to the contrary. markets change, and products have to change with it. those stuck in the 80's, or who simply have no relevant business experience, don't seem to get that. you and I weren't into Beast Wars, but the kids of 1997 certainly were, and that's all that matters.

Not quite correct. They are referenced in Episode III as well, when Sidious explains how Darth Plagueis learned how to influence them to create life.
Then again, they weren't really meant to be that big of a deal in the first place. Mostly just a way for the Jedi to quantify that "Hey, dis Anakin kid is maxi bombad wit da Force!" (Sorry, couldn't resist). |

The new Hulk is a hell of alot better than the Hulk movie that came out in 2003 or so, it may not have done as well as some movies, but it's a good movie (my opinion) The 4th Indy movie was titled Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Now, me being a fan of crystal skulls and reading up on them a lot, I would have been PISSED had they not made some mention of Aliens in the movie since the rumor of aliens is tied into the real Crystal Skulls' mythology. So that can't really be fail since they were at least working off of source material |

I'm just kinda interested in this whole live action and CGI Secret Of Nimh thing. I still have the red necklace I used to tote around as a kid pretending it was the necklace from the movie.
I'm going to have to look into this. Thanks for the heads up.

So that can't really be fail since they were at least working off of source material But it was the execution of the plot that took a sharp turn for the poorer. The first 10 or 15 minutes or so (up until the end of the "Jet sled" ride) was great. The motorcycle chase through the school was pretty good, and there were some spiffy bits in the graveyard (particularly Indy's "Reverse blowgun" move), but darn near everything in the second half of the movie (and the "Nuke the fridge" incident in the early portion of the movie) just pushed it all too far, from "slightly over the top adventure" to "ridiculously stupid adventure." The Alien thing didn't bother me at all. Indy's always had its' supernatural mcguffin, and I know it's (literally) heretical to say this but space aliens aren't any more or less believable to me than "the power of an angry Judeo-Christian God." But anyway, none of my gripes about the movie prevented it from being a huge box-office success, nor dozens of co-workers from commenting on how they thought it was great. |
