But I agree- sequels can be so disappointing. I'm trying to think of a sequel that I actually liked, and I think there's one but I can't think of it... oh well. And yeah, I agree about CGI. It's good, to a point, but it's used so much nowadays! After a while, I just want to see real animals, real mountains, real stunts... <br />And by the way, I'm a newcomer here, and I think your blog is really cool! I love movie and book talk.

I guess I'm just impatient because I want to see both the original and the sequel close together. :-) <br /><br />It will be interesting to see what they do with the story! Also, true. I haven't seen <i>Rogue One</i>, but so many people love it, even though it was so different. I just got a set of tapes of <i>Mary Poppins</i>, so I can't wait to listen to that! Plus, maybe this would have been closer to Mrs. Travers liking. The colors look very bright, and it looks like a very inviting movie to watch. That is so right, different does not mean bad. :-)<br /><br />I never really loved <i>The Lion King</i> until I learned the story behind it. I probably won't watch it if it does turn out to be all CGI. YES! YES! YES!!!! *jumps up and down* I CAN'T wait for <i>Aladdin</i>!!! I was so excited when they annouced that Will Smith was going to be the genie!! They couldn't have picked better. :-D<br /><br />Thank you!

So I'm cool with <i>Incredibles 2</i> and <i>Toy Story 4</i> from that standpoint. <br /><br />Since <i>Mary Poppins</i> is based on an entire series of books, and since it bears little similarity to those books, I'm not going to get all worried about a sequel being untrue to the original movie because... it's going to be its own thing, just like the original movie was, and that's not bad. Just different. Different does not equal bad. Or good. (I mean, <i>Rogue One</i> was very different from other Star Wars movies, and it was amazing. <i>The Last Jedi</i> was very different from other Star Wars movies, and it was a big mess. So... "different" to me doesn't signal goodness or badness, if that makes sense.)<br /><br />I don't actually like <i>The Lion King</i> much, and wasn't crazy about <i>Mulan</i>, so I'm not caring much one way or the other about the new versions? I'm VERY excited about the 2019 live-action version of <i>Aladdin</i>, though, cuz I love the animated movie, and cuz Guy Ritchie is directing this one, plus Will Smith is playing the Genie.

Disney needs to learn that, but they just don't seem to be able too!<br /><br />It is basically and animated movie, because there are only voice actors, and all that CGI!! I don't want to watch a whole movie full of it! In other movies, the occasional bit is exciting, because it not there through the whole thing!<br /><br />You guys are sooooooo right! They have run out of new ideas (Wow, I wouldn't think it was possible.) so they keep redoing the old ones, because they know we will go watch it, even if just for curiosity, and to criticize them! If they need someone to come up with ideas for movies, they can hire me. :DChloe the MovieCritichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02200752624092560917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354853575539461524.post-35896664179905694112018-02-01T08:48:30.754-07:002018-02-01T08:48:30.754-07:00It was waaaaay too long ago! What is the point? Pl...It was waaaaay too long ago! What is the point? Plus, Mrs. Travers, the author said she never wanted one of her books to be made into a movie. She's not alive anymore, but still! The Incredibles came out 14 years ago! That is crazy.<br />Oh! I forgot about Ice Age! I agree, those sequels are pretty good. I haven't seen 3, but my sister and I really liked 4. That is the only time I can think of where the sequels were good. But I haven't seen 5.<br />It does look weird! Cinderella was amazing (you should see BatB!), but The Lion King is going to be so strange. <br />Crazy, right!? Mulan is based on a real story, so maybe they want it to be more like that, but the first time they made it, the music was sssooooo good! Maybe it will be like Cinderella and have them in the credits.<br />That would be too long. I don't think I am even going to watch this Toy Story, because I can't understand why they keep doing this! It will never be as good as the first one. Yes, Pirates of the Caribbean is very scary, but the soundtrack is really awesome. And the costumes are pretty good, as well as the actors. The first one is the best, and they went downhill from there.<br />It does feel good to rant about upcoming movies! Yes! It is good to see we agree!<br />Thank you so much for your comment, Ruth!! :DChloe the MovieCritichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02200752624092560917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354853575539461524.post-20873479479547453412018-02-01T08:37:43.348-07:002018-02-01T08:37:43.348-07:00Haha.

It's obvious after DMTNT that they can keep making Pirates movies (no matter how redundant they get) and fans of the originals will go and see them anyway just out of pure curiosity. Same applies to Mary Poppins since we all love the original. We'll watch the new one just to criticize it if nothing else! Am I right?

Sometimes it's better to stop while you're ahead, and not ruin a good thing by too much repetition. (Disney obviously doesn't see it that way though...haha!)<br /><br />All the CGI! Exactly! What's the point of doing a "live-action" movie when all of it's going to end up being CGI? It just seems like another type of cartoon in my opinion. Sure, maybe it's more realistic looking, but it's still not "real".<br /><br />Maybe the real problem here is that Disney isn't good at coming up with original stories anymore. Hence all the returning to old themes. ;)Miss Marchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03088465083055515308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354853575539461524.post-44866671943573733372018-02-01T04:12:34.945-07:002018-02-01T04:12:34.945-07:00Whaaaaat!?

Incredibles 2 can't go through with the gap of time in between either, but Mary Poppins was so long ago...(and she doesn't look like Julie Andrews at all, no)<br />You're right, sequels are never better than the first. Sequels even mess up the feeling of the first movie sometimes! (Oh wait, Ice Age became better, right? At least everyone in this house have 3 and 4 as favourites, and not 2 and 1. But then 5! Just...ugh, so bad! So... not like the four previous!)<br />I beg your pardon, Disney? Sorry, but that Lion King really looks weird. Cinderella was really good(wow, only live action remake I ever saw), I agree, but I have to say that Lion King looks very awkward.<br />NOT a musical?! But Mulan has such good songs... :( I'm still looking forward to it though, but I wish it was a musical.<br />Yeah, Toy Story goes on and on and on.(I wonder if they are gonna make a number FIVE after 4. Hope not, 'cause that's really too long) We never watched Pirates of the Caribbean, because it is said to be scary and it's really...you know, with ghosts, so...and we have little ones around who watch along.<br />Talking about long, my comment is starting to be a very long one again :) <br />It feels good to sometimes let your anger about upcoming movies out, doesn't it? ;D And you can have so many debates about it XD<br />Anyhow...I was going to stop talking, so...bye!<br />Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00077475871417077658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354853575539461524.post-89706071533348206502018-01-31T20:40:39.472-07:002018-01-31T20:40:39.472-07:00Yay!
