I like, no I LOVE that they didn't try to ride off the OG film. But honestly I can write and direct thousands of times better on a movie that already has a plot and dang comic series to back it up. Hollywood needs to start inviting people like me to share my knowledge and help them understand not only what a fan wants to see but an audience. They're dropping so many balls tryna take what has already been created and make it theirs. It was already given life from It's creator. Same with why marvel is failing and DC can't seem to even begin smh. Pick up and actual authentic Original comic and only make movies you yourself are a fan of folks. Or just create your own It's simple.... Oh and those with sense watch these types of movies to escape politics and other distractions going on that has nothing to do with the comic book or sci-fi they are so much a fan of.
