Imagine if the owners of a long-standing movie franchise whose fortunes had deteriorated with each successive film had decided to commission a tawdry and unimaginative, ultimately brainless rehash of the popular, original flick--point for point, at times almost scene for scene--in order to reboot the potential to make shitloads of money. Imagine how lame that would be, especially if it seemed like there were plenty of new things you could do with the main premise. Why would you do something that fucking stupid? How badly would that suck? What's the definition of futility? Where have the creativity and imagination gone? No matter how good it looked or how much time was spent on the special effects, how much would it feel like a rip-off? How do you make an expensive movie even dumber than the people who flock to it with cash in hand? They could do it with dinosaurs, or anything else, right? How sad would you be watching it?
Chris Pratt, on the other hand, is looks like he's having a blast phoning in these 0-dimensional action movie cliches in exchange for a handsome check. The rest of us should be getting the feeling we've been cheated.
