[quote="zitagirl"]Should have seen that coming...

If something I learnt from watching Doctor Who S12, is that the enjoyment of watching a sequel or continuation gets heavily hindered if you are not invested in the characters. Sadly this is the case with the new Aladdin for me. I just don't like the new versions of these characters (and I blame the writing here mostly) and I wasn1t too happy with how they handled the story either.

Credit where credit is due, least they don't plan to just remake the sequels, but actually try to get inspiration from the 1001 Tales. Yes, this can mean that we will never get any reference or even a callback to stuff from the TV series and such, but least we can expect something different.

However this also means they need to improve the writing a lot more, as now they can't rely solely on nostalgia to carry them and get the big profit. Maleficent 2 is a good example for that. The first movie made a lot of movie, while the sequel brought in significantly less. Or even the Star Wars sequel triology: last movie had a quite a hard time to even break 1 billion and this was supposed to be the big finale for the whole Star Wars saga.

I won't see this on premier day for sure, unless they actually show they improved a lot. I rather invest my time and money into stuff I actually like . I already started to get Bleach manga volumes and who knows what we will get with the 20th anniversary.

Oh well, hoping for the best![/quote]
