When the first trailer came out for Jem and the Holograms, fans of the cartoon were rightfully pissed by how bad the film looks and how different it seems to be than series we grew up on. So Universal did some retooling and released a second trailer for it. Is it enough to convince you to see it on October 23rd?
No it isn’t. It still looks like a Sunday afternoon movie you would see on Disney Channel about a YouTube sensation. That is fine and dandy for 13 year olds who are looking for their next Hannah Montana, but for anyone who is older than Miley Cyrus, then they are wondering why this movie isn’t going straight-to-DVD?
I am sick of these movies that claim to be a remake or a reboot, but the only thing they have in common with the original is the same title. I know Hollywood lost its originality, but this has got to stop. Don’t piggyback on a well loved classic, when you are going to make your vision all your own. If you do that, then you and anyone under 13 are going to be the only ones who like it.
