The reality is that the entire movie could be Benedict Cumberbatch running around in a trench coat and giving a voice over and I'd watch. But it will be SO MUCH MORE.
A couple more thoughts:
- From the trailer, I assumed that Alice Eve is playing a young Carol Marcus, but Sarahmac took one look and declared her Elizabeth Dehner based on the haircut. It's so eerily similar that I hope she's right.
- What's most fun about Khan (or, whoever the villain is in this movie, nudge, nudge, wink-wink) is that, when played and written properly, he's a smart villain. We want the villain to have qualities we admire, we want him to have tricks up his sleeve, we want to have moments where we can't help but "accidentally" root for them. What we want, over and over, is the original Die Hard experience of an action flick with a brain. And, given that Cumberbatch does a good Alan Rickman, is that really too much to expect?
That's way more than I'm expecting. Dreck is what I'm expecting.
ReplyDeleteI take it you didn't like the 2009 movie?
