Quote:New movies cannot in anyway ruin the childhood experience of the OG's. Not transformers, not TMNT. That said, I'm less skeptical about Star Wars than I am for Ghostbusters. I don't like McCarthy much but I hear she was pretty good in Spy. 

I'm terrified for Star Wars. As much as Abrams was praised for his Star Trek reboot, I thought the first film basically spent its whole running time taking a whiz on the characters and stories that had been built upon for over 40 years. The second one was just awful, easily one of the worst movies I've ever seen, but take that with the caveat that I think "Wrath of Khan" is a top-three sci-fi movie.

 

I doubt he'll trash Star Wars the way he did Trek, partly because he has Disney breathing down his neck and (presumably) keeping him from, you know, reversing the fate of Alderaan through a time paradox or some garbage like that, but I remain worried by his "reverence" for the Star Trek source material and am mildly concerned that he might do something(s) stupid with Ep. 7.
