what;s the original?

@@Deczkinwhat? It’s called time bandits…😂

​@@Deczkin time bandits (1981) do yourself a favor and watch that instead of this hot garbage.

Oh for eff sake. I am sick and tired of exactly that kind of self-righteous holier than thou whining. WTF "insult?" Dude unless you own the rights to the 80s version, its not your place and not your problem. On the contrary, as someone who saw the 80s version IN THE 80S, in the theater, this looks funny as hell. The problem is too many 'fans' are just petty whiners, perpetually filling out their "Entitled Butthurt Bingo Card" with the predictable ranting of "I know it sucks even though I haven't seen it," and "I hate remakes" and the ever-present first-world crocodile tear inducing: "Hollywood has ruined my childhood." Get over yourself.

Watch the original!!!.

Napoleon: [to the Bandits] You are the best thing to happen to me since this whole campaign. You know I come here to conquer Italy, because I thought they were all small. You know, I hear they was really tiny guys... Where the hell are our tiny guys ?????????????????

@@999jay999 blink and you'd miss them at one minute, forty seconds. Definitely not the same characters though. I'm worried they're going to ruin Baron VonMunchhausen next.

@@drivenbyrage5710 OOohhhhh, ..... there they are, errr go.

agree also don't think even close to the original especially the original had David Warner as the devil.

I loved this movie man...the 💩 now days is just wild and this is definitely not it

I saw the original as well, and this looks funny as hell. Modern 'fans' are just industrialized whiners. :/

​@@SpreadingtheMuseu probably like big bang theory. Low IQ viewers

@@SpreadingtheMuse You can take your no imagination modern fans and shove them where the sun don't shine!

me too!....great movie...have the Criterion Edition

My brother & I both grew up watching the original classic. This new 'remake' is an absolute joke, changing the Time Bandits from Dwarfs to regular size people??? Are you frickin' kidding me AppleTV+???

Taki doesn't do little people to politically incorrect.. but nazis that's cool and playing Hitler is A ok.

Little things hitting each other!

Dwarves can't be done for comedy anymore. GoT changed the rules.

And they just may be again. Blink and you’ll miss it, they’re having an audience with God so I’m betting they’ll add them into a larger gang.

Pecks

Possibly the most apt, descriptive and valid comment. Can be applied to so much these days. Sir....I will adopt you, shower you with gifts and bathe you every day.

@@garrycremin4202 Alriighhhtt... Gayy..

😄

I know what's Wrong... the Kid is too Young & was filmed appropriate for his Age /POV.. The kid in the the Original was atleast 3 or 4 years older-- thus, the POV is appealing to a Larger /older Audience.

The worst part of fandom is now the fans. There's a knee-jerk bias against remakes which isn't fair.

​@@SpreadingtheMuseWht arev you talking about??? In the 80s and 90s fans were what made these shows huge..So when these shows get remade, inserting their gender politics etc etc..And then they absolutely destroy our fave childhood shows...We're obviously going to voice our opponiin.

Same. What cowards.

​@@SpreadingtheMuseposer

@@christiangottsacker6932 OMG, I've been called a... A... 'poser?' Uh... You have no idea what that means, do you? :/

I see what you did there. Bravo. 😊

It's because making a fun, good movie with no ulterior political ideology secreated into it!

I don't know if it's because the current creators are creatively bankrupt (and have not lived actual lives upon which to draw upon), we have dumbed down the audience, and there are structural costs that make movies too expensive but we simply do not see studios taking creative chances anymore with new IP's. I also there there is a audience fragmentation issue. It's too easy to wait until it's on streaming. Sure, we had the similar issue with just waiting on DVD's but it usually took some time to go to DVD so you were incentivized to see in the theatre. NOW, you can literally see it 30 days later if not day and date with the theatre release. It's insane.

I think I'll judge it AFTER I watch it, not before. Fans who whine with knee-jerk irrational hatred are exactly why we can't have nice things. (Hint, even the 1939 Wizard of Oz was the 5th or SIXTH remake of the original material. And yet that's now the definitive version.)

​@@SpreadingtheMuse The problem is that, once you see something and it turns out you were RIGHT that it was garbage, it's too late. You can't get your time or money back. Nor can you take back your contribution or time watched to the totals that the studio will brag about. By ignoring your gut and giving into the "you can't judge it UNTIL you see it" rhetoric, you have let people who did not deserve your time or money EXACTLY what they wanted and you are left powerless to protest. Better to hear from critics whom you trust, since the studios no longer deserve it.

@@SpreadingtheMuse Have you watched the preview?

First Snow White now this..........me thinks the people pushing DEI don't actually care about DEI the way they say they do.

But Nazis is fine eg. Jojo rabbit etccc but little people/DWARVES..is a NO! that's where you draw the line.

​@@DreSttarr-yi7lzit's a Short line

@@Lincoln_Vail hilarious response, but a wee bit short

Hypocrisy is thy name Mr Waititi...

I noticed that too! I wish they'd just make an original show that is actually good! Bad times for the movie industry

Hilarious. They refuse to see and accept the truth from the people who pay their salaries.

Yeah i wanted to say something…

Because the worst part of fandom is always the fans. If they want to be treated respectfully, then they should stop acting like whiny incels.

@@SpreadingtheMuse if you butcher much loved classics, in an accountant run, risk adverse cash grab, rather than devising new content I don’t think you can call critics incels

it looks like a Nickelodeon movie from 2009

i tried watching the first two episodes.. you were totally correct.... it made me watch the original 1981 movie.. that was awesome.. good writing and acting.. not this total stinko!!!

Nice reference!

💯

But will it dry?!! The tension may be unbearable!.

Good choice

Sometimes you don't ask for something and something great comes along... this isn't one of those times.

i guess they were desperate for something that they thought would be watchable.. sadly this aint it... the writing and acting is terrible.. i have tried to watch the first two episodes.. that was a mistake.. but it did make me watch the original 1981 movie again - that was actually funny... the writing and acting was clever.. and not some woke crap... with no friggin dwarves..

Because they have run out of any original ideas, so they have to remake everything and call it "re-imagined". Just another made up word.

@@joes6527 re boot is another word or Unoriginal

It is very reminiscent of this famous passage: *_“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”_* - George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four

Obligatory Tolkien paraphrase. Evil cannot create, it can only mar and twist what the forces of Good have made.

Why does everything have to be remade... I even remade the statement.

that’s a pretty big ask.

May of us do... But sadly, The OG movie was a Box office FAIL!!! I am with most critics when they say "Stop rebooting successful movies (Halloween, Friday the 13th, SAW, Legally Blonde, Total Recall, etc) unless you literally do have something new to add... [EDIT: Yes, I do know that I included Total Recall and that actually DID TRY to do something different as it was CLOSER to the actual Story its based on - The Arnie Movie as much as I love it was "Based on" in name only! in other words... Douglas Quaid, Thats it! It has NOTHNG IN COMMON with the Story at all!] They worked! They were a Success! Reboot movies that FAILED" And Time Bandits back in 1981 was an ABYSMAL FAIL! I loved it even back then... I first got to watch it as part of an English Lesson at Primary School in 1983 I think... My Teacher bought in a VHS and played it for the class as we were going to be studying the Book and the Movie as different works... But its initial release t was an abject bomb! I watched the trailer with an open mind... And my biggest issue so far is they are trying a bit TOO HARD to be comedic... And many jokes just are not landing! But maybe they will work in the full feature - After all this is a trailer... Something else that is getting to me, OH DEAR GOD IT LOOKS SO GENERIC! There are certain things you see when watching a movie and go "OH LOOK, TAIKO WHAITITI WORKED ON THIS! (I am respectful I know I spelled his name wrong and for that I am sorry!) and OH JESUS IT ALL OVER THIS TRAILER! It looks Like MARVEL and THE DARK CRYSTAL have had a love Child... And the result did not turn out so well! I think "Hope for the best, Expect the Worst" - Thats how we need to view it! We will always have our beloved OG... Could they reboot the OG properly? I think it could be... I just dont think this is it! I think it will fail as it is trying to be like everything else that has already been a success... So it wont stand out! The OG stands out as Cult Classic as it literally is its own unique movie! This already has TW fingerprints everywhere! They may as well have had Quentin Tarnatino work on it and shocked us all with Toe Sucking and a Dwarven Samuel L. Jackson screaming "DID HE SCREAM LIKE A B**CH"...

There may be more humor in these comments than in the actual movie.

Lisa Kudrow comment was the best and I totally agree. She always acts like Phoebe, it sucks

OMFG.. is is lisa kudrow!!! i didn't recognise her... she oplays such an idiot in this one not at all clever.. just dumb all the way through...

You probably shouldn't have said that... they hadn't thought of it yet.

How about taking the dwarves out of Snow White?

Hush!! Someone may overhear that idea and run with it!

Better question is Who is going to watch it? Because they have just fucked up Time Bandits

​@@robertortiz6749Comforting anwser is almost no one is going to watch it anyways cause it's on Apple TV 😂.

10’s of people.

She's a one trick pony: great at Phoebe in Friends, should've retired after that.

He's probably lost lots of work cuz of that comment: be careful what you wish for.

Maybe he should have kept his mouth shut about Disney using the word dwarf and casting little people. Talk about pulling the ladder up behind you.

Your right.

Blame Dinklage for stupid comments in interviews backing them getting replaced. They were the heart of the original, full of personality.

D E I

i guess some crazy dweeb thought this woudl be a wonderful idea.. i do hope they do not get to do a second season even though i have tried to watch only the first two episodes....

That's positive thinking.

@@tomp8871 I thought the same thing a while ago when Hollywood was in the business of remaking classic John Carpenter films. Many subpar movies, but at least it was money in Carpenter's pocket.

Them calling themselves "the time bandits" is super fucking cringe.

I tapped out at Lisa Kudrow’s entrance as well. This is going to be another trash bag remake that 10’s of people watch and/or like.

Time Bandits was a BOX OFFICE BOMB... I love the film myself... Always have but it did FAIL! If a movie is successful - DONT REBOOT IT! But if a Movie Fails... DON'T REBOOT IT... LET IT DIE!!! Thats what you are saying! It doesn't work... And of course there are no original ideas anymore - There has not been for decades! STAR WARS is a Space Retelling of most Western and THE SEVEN SAMUARI of Japanese Culture... KICK-ASS, Heralded back in the day as the Most Original Adaptation of a Graphic Novel EVER... 30 Years prior CONDORMAN... Not as Gritty but 100% the groundwork walked on by KICK-ASS! Total Nobody becomes a Hero!!! We have to accept it - Time Bandit's was a FAIL! So a reboot is fair game... Maybe they can not only please old fans of the OG but also make it work for new younger audience's!!! (That how they think, The fact we are all commenting - We know they F**KED IT UP!) The OG film is now very old... Its Cult Classic to us... but I have to bow and say "OK! Its fair game now!"

@@Phoenix2312You’re talking about homages, about films that inspired other similar films, even if you think those other films copied their predecessors. That’s not the same as a reboot or a remake. It’s not at all unreasonable to ask Hollywood to come up with something new. There’s a world of difference between Star Wars incorporating ideas from westerns and samurai films and this version Time Bandits just being a shitty, soulless, CGI-riddled repackaging of the original movie.

The trailer alone has ruined it. This is one of my 4 favs. And is at the top.

At least that would've been somewhat original.

it looks more like Adventures of Baron Munchausen instead of Time Bandits

I thought he "looked" dashing on Our Flag Means Death. Then I got to know him. Nvm. Hard pass.

Kinda peaked with Jojo Rabbit and turned into just another "big movies with big budgets and little to none creativity" director, sadly. Loved his early stuff.

Yeah you’re a real genius 😂

@@amdi8966 takes one to know one ;)

on a serious note with the CGI/ green screen tech now they could/should of made a time bandits sequel. they can copy exactly what an actor sounds - looks/looked like from years ago. no need for actual human actors for 80% of a film. they could take all the original look of film and actors who are now mostly dead and recreate them digitally you wont even realize it. thats where movies should be heading.

That could not be more on brand for 2024 Hollywood

why couldnt they at least put Kudrows and other actors heads on dwarfs' bodles that would of been hysterical and great homage to original story.
