the vast majority of people, old or young, just don't care. they don't care enough whether the movie truly is a great film or not, and especially don't care whether it's true to the ip. turning transformers into dawson's creek; indy with space aliens; spock making out; deadpool with baraka claws; none of it makes sense in context and is just bad writing because it ignores the source completely. people will even be apathetic to advertising and product placement in a movie they paid 10 bucks to see even after sitting through previews and commericals of other advertising. people just don't care; sitting in a theater watching a combo of flashing lights and tits is enough.

and because of that, it really is the former. hollywood knows this all too well now unfortunately. we'll continue to get what we've got and will continue to get worse. i imagine the day when the entire movie is just one giant advertisement with tits and explosions. the boardgame movies aren't far from this.

this is what ghostbusters will be too. i'm pretty sure egon will be using dell computers and the neato car will have a gm logo.

tl;dr: lolzhoof will continue to rape our childhood, and it will only get worse.

Have you seen Idiocracy yet? you just described mike judge's vision of the future to a T.

Harold Raimis' son, Seth Rogen (Knocked Up! Both Jewish!), is the exact opposite of his dad and is dragged into it.

Hudson's daughter, Raven-Symone, is the love object pursued by Shia and Hayden, and is the lynchpin of the team.

GOLD MINE!

With this kind of star power it can't possibly go awry!
