MaximRecoil, you absolutely nailed it. I couldn't have put it better myself.
Amen. Brilliantly put. I could not agree more. That other guy can like this movie all he wants and that's fine, but he seems to be in denial of how far it strayed from the comics. Hell, The Dark Knight is widely considered to be a masterpiece, but that doesn't mean it was completely accurate to the comics, which it wasn't. Not sure where his confusion came from regarding "a movie he likes" and "being faithful to the source material" becoming one and the same.
You're right, however it never made sense to me that "101" was somehow a newer upgrade of "the 600 series with rubber skin" that Reese mentions. Why would they count backwards?
Yep, same here haha. I finished it as well and liked it a whole lot. Really glad you enjoyed it!
No problem. I hope you like it.
The first episode was very boring, generic, and full of clichés. It was all the same crap I had seen a hundred times. It didn't suck me in and I wasn't hooked. So I watched the next episode and had the same reaction. I, too, was very confused about all the different characters and had a tough time telling who was who and couldn't easily differentiate the past from the present. I was about to give up but then I kept watching out of curiosity and am happy to report that it gets a whole lot better. I'm on the seventh episode now and I'm really invested. The characters actually get really fleshed out and the performances, which at first I thought were too dramatic and like a soap opera, actually end up being great and compliment the storyline extremely well. I'm happy to report that my initial impression was wrong and overall I'm glad I continued watching. I recommend you do the same. But then again, I haven't finished the whole season yet, so it could still go down hill from here. I'll reserve my full judgment upon the completion of the remaining episodes.
I'd say the twist involving the doctor could have been a pretty serious risk but, as you said, they didn't spend much time on it. It was an interesting idea that could have been executed a little better. They didn't go about it the best way. I still really enjoyed this movie though, despite a few minor complaints.
He was 21 in the first film. He was 6 in 1963 so in 1978 that would make him 21. Plus Loomis even says so in the second film. The credits list Tony Moran as "Michael Myers, age 23", but that's a mistake.

It was actually the other guy who threw the rock (the Inspector or whatever and not Vincent) but you're right, The Fly itself was David Hedison.
Prequel.
Yes I know haha. I didn't even think I would get a reply at all. This website is like a ghost town and all these old archived posts from IMDb are like ancient relics from the past.
He wasn't talking to you, he was quoting another poster from this same thread, he just didn't reply to the right person.

He was infected from the water he drank at the farm.
He was a hoot for sure!
You're right, they should retcon Han Solo (who has always been a white male) into a female transgender homosexual Muslim who also happens to be a midget, sorry, little person. I'm gonna go protest about this right now!
Okay, fair enough. I see what you're saying.
Everything in the film was spot on to the comics? Everything? Let's see... Spider sense? J. Jonah Jameson? Photography hobby? Being an independent loner whose secret identity wasn't known by anyone? Making his own costume and NOT having a Stark tech suit that never shuts up? "MJ" going from a fun and energetic redhead bombshell to a whiny emo outcast? Hmm.. I seem to have found a few things that would suggest otherwise.
Yes, I have the read the comics my whole life. Multiple times. Have you? I was not talking about their race. At all. Flash in the comics was an arrogant muscular jock and football hero, not a nerdy weirdo with a potty mouth. He's supposed to be the antithesis of Peter Parker, his polar opposite. Here they were so similar, I don't even see why they were enemies. Sure he had more screentime and a bigger role to play than the Flash in previous Spidey films but that's not what I was talking about, now was it? If the bullies in my school looked and acted like the Homecoming version of Flash, I would have kicked their asses.
And do I really need to explain what was different about Aunt May? Going from an elderly and nurturing woman who somewhat dependent on Peter to a young fox who could easily find some wealthy man to take care of her. Quite a departure there. Are you honestly gonna tell me that this Aunt May was closer to the comics than the one in the Raimi films? (which I never even mentioned in my original post, by the way, but you automatically asssumed I was comparing to them)
I don't read the recent comics, by the way. I stopped reading Marvel in the early 90's. So if these characters have changed since then, I wouldn't know.
Perfectly true to its source material? The supporting cast in this movie could not have been more off from their comic book counterparts. Aunt May, Flash Thompson, etc. were all wrong and were absolutely nothing like their characters from the comics. Horribly miscast and not properly written. If you like this movie, fine, but if was definitely a huge departure from its source material. I absolutely loved Holland and Keaton, however.
And I agree with the OP, this PC/forced diversity crap getting rammed down our throats is getting old.
