Hansel & Gretel was fun! It wasn't overly stellar storytelling or anything but it was exactly what it promoted itself as - fun with hotties.
I kind of want to see The End, which is basically Seth Rogen and his boys in a movie about a group of friends who find out the world is ending and try to decide what to do with their last night on Earth. It makes me think of like what me and my fangirl friends would do if we found out the world was ending and we just decided to like hang out and chill with each other.
Now You See Me.
Hmmm, sounds familiar. What is that about?
I don't actually think of it as a reboot so much as an AU (I mean, it really IS an AU, so...)
YES! If people get too picky with the differences in the world I will often yell at them, "Alternate Universe!!" like a crazy person. Idk that much about the original Trek anyways to nitpick myself but even so...Alternate Universe, handwave.
I'm sure I'll be fine with the version of Khan's story that they give me, even if (as according to some) all of Kirk's coolness is handed to Spock instead.
I felt like they varied enough from the original to make it interesting without making it not fit, if that makes sense. Take that with a grain of salt from someone whose knowledge of Trek-dom comes from my dad watching it. But as for Kirk's coolness being downplayed - not even a little. He is still Captain Motherfucking James Tiberus Kirk, Bitches. <--that's his full name, you know. He was maybe slightly more mature this time around, but only slightly and still fucking badass. As is Spock. As is Bones. As is Scotty.
