It's entertaining in that Iron Man kind of way where I went in expecting not a precious lot and came out pleasantly surprised at having been entertained for the full two two hours and however many minutes.
Definitely. I was also rather surprised that, despite its brazen disregard for the series' canon, I never felt like it was insulting the legacy of one of my favorite franchises.
i didn't think Eric Bana had enough screen time which bugged me cuz i really like him as and actor
Everybody hates prequels. Okay, maybe not everybody, but it's not uncommon to hear groans from fans of a franchise when somebody announces that the next film is going to take us
well (for me) it's been succusful now 3 time now with Star Trek,then with 007 and Batman
the cast had really big shoes to fill and i believe they filled them great
and note i like how they used the now famous AU to explain the difference between this film and the tv series
See, I normally have no problem with Bana (I prefer his Hulk to Ed Norton's, for instance) but I felt his villain got too much screentime. if he had appeared a little less it might not have been so obvious that he was so terminally lame as a villain.
And I don't know if I'd count Casino Royale and Batman Begins as prequels. They were pretty much just reboots. Granted, I guess this film was too--what with the time travel creating an alternate reality--but I consider it more of a prequel.
And yeah, making it an alternate reality is nice because it allows the TV shows and movies we already love to continue to "exist", just in a different reality.
