The theatre-going crowd, and especially the theater critics do not necessarily overlap with the people who like Harry Potter. Those people could have judged it on its own, being ignorant of how it fits into the HP universe. The majority of fans could only read the book, and they are the ones who would be concerned with the botched characterizations, uninspired and unfitting storyline, massacred lore and overall insultingly lazy stuff like Spoiler Voldemort having a bloody kid . mrbellamy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not weird, that just proves you're all talking out of your asses when you say Disney is opposed to originality. Are they going to give us Star Wars to its greatest potential? Of course not. Even if we could all agree on what that would even be, no studio would give us that. But! Many of the people making these films are fans of the originals who want to see good movies themselves and who want to be proud of their work.

crumbs 14,316 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Surely Johnson is in the box seat. From all accounts, Kennedy and Disney adore what he's done with VIII and the entire production has gone off without a hitch. He's even wrapped post production 3 months out from release. If not Johnson, Cuaron would be an inspired choice but perhaps too original for Disney's tastes. I've said all along Disney should've gone after Matt Reeves for Episode IX. Batman seems like a complete mess at WB with Affleck causing dramas. Good opportunity to get in there and poach him. This seems unlikely but could Kennedy convince Spielberg to come in and clean up this mess? He's seemingly available for 2018 now that Indy V has been delayed.
