>21th century sequel to a horror movie franchise turns out to be shite

Imagine my shock.

"Flash Gordon" is my favorite comics movie. I've probably seen it fifty times. Yes, it looks great and it doesn't take itself seriously. It's absurd and full of personality. The music from Queen is great, too.
A modern movie would try to make all the designs and costumes more "realistic" and "gritty".
Instead they just made fancier version of the comic book designs and played it straight (while at the same time acknowledging how silly it is).

I think for big blockbuster franchises I'm down to like John Wick and Mission Impossible. Bond is probably going to get worse - the director of the most recent one got cancelled not that long ago, so any 'Classic Bond' elements of the most recent movie could well be jettisoned. But with Wick and MI - those are both kinda old too. Wick is designed to be a Schwarzenegger era throwback and MI literally started in the 90's and is based off a TV show from the 60's.

Not to mention both franchises are spearheaded by old fucks at this point.

Watching Keanu in Wick vs Matrix Resurrections is funny, bc side by side its clear he's putting less effort into the latter.

New Predator film isn’t great. It’s slightly better then the previous one but that’s not saying much.

The first two predator film make a joke of characters attempting to take on the Predator with blades by killing them off screen but this film a 23 year old girl from the 18th century can take it on.

An alien invasion in that era sounds like an interesting concept that should have been its own thing and not a Predator movie. But I guess this is the way things work now in Hollywood. Old IPs only.

Well, they could always make an adaptation of War of the Worlds that's actually set in the glorious colonizer days.
