<blockquote>This world gets sicker all the time, and this movie points it out poignantly. There are so many reasons to like this movie. I think it's a bit silly in many ways, and a little bit misandristic as well (protecting women from being punched against wall so their teeth fall out is a cowardly cop-out this movie's makers made - they should TOTALLY have women in the fight club to be beaten to a pulp like the men are - the problem is, women live in Ivory Tower, and can't even begin to understand the misery of having to live in a 'man's world', so it wouldn't work)..</blockquote>
Are you seriously accusing the movie of subtle misandry because there's only men in fight club?
lol the soundtrack is probably one of the few things about this movie that's aged well.
<blockquote>But the plot makes no goddamn sense, and the implausibility factor of the twist is through the roof.</blockquote>
These things don't make it a bad movie.
Okay.
No. And if you're being so disingenuous as to pick at my verbiage, stop focusing on my potentially flawed language, and focus on the actual comparisons being made here.
You know that Assault (2005) to Assault (1976) is different from Batman Begins to Batman 89, both of which are different from Candyman 2021 to Candyman.
If you can't see the difference between these three installments, then you're just arguing for the sake of arguing and there's nothing more to be said here.
Assault 2005 has always been referred to as a remake. Just like Psycho 98 is a remake of the original.
Batman Begins has always been referred to as a reboot of the Batman story, kind of like how Dredd is a reboot of the Judge Dredd character (it is neither remake or sequel to Stallone's film).
Candyman 2021 continues the story told in Candyman, just like Iron Man 2 continues the storyline in Iron Man. It's a sequel.
So I don't know what you're pretending to do here in this argument, but at this point, I think it's apparent that you're being insufferable for the sake of it. I probably should have stopped replying when you responded to

With a merriam webster link that does nothing. But I guess I'll finish this thought out for anyone reading.
7 years too late but ftw never meant fuck the world.
You can't really use the definitions of an established word for a term that's been colloquially introduced into the cinematic lexicon. At any rate, this is what applies here:
<blockquote>transitive : to start (something) anew : to refresh (something) by making a new start or creating a new version</blockquote>
Again, Assault (2005) is not a reboot. It's a remake. It's not starting something anew or creating a new start/version.
Batman begins IS a reboot. It's not trying to remake any of its predecessors. It's something new. A new version.
And what happened to the Kid was basically a freak occurrence. They're shocked in the epilogue that he's still alive.

<blockquote> That said I hope he does a better job than the cosplayer they got for Retribution</blockquote>
lmaooooo so true
same lol
Assault (2015) is an updated version of Assault (1976). It's a remake.
Batman Begins is not an updated version of Batman 89, Batman Returns, Batman Forever, or Batman & Robin so it's not a remake. It's also not part of the same continuity as those four films so it's not a sequel. It's a reboot.
Yep. I was gonna say. The other wachowski is making the dignified choice here lol
You're a bit odd.
lol edge of tomorrow totally had a sense of humor. It just might not have been your cup of tea.
Honestly, I think he was a fantastic bruce wayne. Haven't seen enough of those films on the list to make a comment though.
Honestly no, even though it builds heavily off of it.
<blockquote>but I don't like it when movies make characters act in an unnatural manner just to further the plot, and this movie does it a lot.</blockquote>
When exactly does the movie do this? This movie felt rather natural and realistic compared to most horror shit out there.
gahhh i see.
I think there is a room for a good philosophical conversation here about fairness and definitions of prejudice and the act of stereotyping...but yes, that was a very concise, accurate response lol. I couldn't have said it more cleanly lol
Yeah......I don't think you're gonna figure that one out.
