I'm still waiting for a Krull remake! Waititi lost a few points from me after he did Thor: Love and Blunder. 

I finally happened across a brand new DVD of Krull at an antique store. Been years since I watched that film.

I wanted to give this a try. Just to feel out could it be as bad as the reviews.

It's bad. Like really bad. Like cosplayers attempting to replicate scenes from favorite movies or shows - but failing at it.

I got 10 minutes in and bailed. Too much solid content out there to waste time.

I think that is the first time I've seen you say you bailed on a movie.

I think I made it a bit longer but I bailed right after they jumped off the pirate ship.  Just unwatchable.

Although it is a series, I think Taika has worn out his comedy welcome for now.

Did he go full Waitiki?

It was just too silly to even tell how deep he went into his legacy jokes back of tricks. Here's an everyman review of just EP1.

I love his point about the needless repackaging of older material to fit inside the head of someone else when it would be a better exercise to make something new.

We are really running thin on properties to remake. This is one I would never have pegged. Maybe, now we have officially remade everything, so please let's start making new stuff.

There's still some classic television shows they might fix reimagine; I Deam of Jeanie, Green Acres.

I used to think Mister ED would be a fun family film, and a simple thing to do without any glaring need to check boxes, but no, they'd make Ms Edna.
