I've seen it. It was indeed funny AND entertaining. I enjoyed it about as much as I enjoyed Ghostbusters 2, which was a much lazier rehash of the same premise of the first movie to cash in on the name.

Yet...somehow, people don't remember the second movie that way. But they, having not seen it in a lot of cases, view this movie as an A-Bomb for the movie industry. The most scorn worthy example of remakes ever! Most disliked trailer in youtube history! Yet....somehow, the same fate didn't befall TMNT, Transformers, Robocop, et all.

But we also forget, some of our most beloved genre movies and well liked films were remakes of older movies before our time. The Thing, The Fly, The Departed, True Grit, 12 Monkeys, etc. It's not that it's evil ole hollywood "not having original ideas and scripts", because we have unoriginal ideas and scripts in the hallows of nerd fandom.

Really seems like there is one sort of X-Factor about this particular remake of a previous nerd-centric IP that set it apart from all the others people ignored or fell in love in with....

I love the movie 'Psycho' and I was skeptical of the TV show 'Bates Motel' before it aired. I love the movie 'Red Dragon' and I was skeptical of the TV show 'Hannibal' before it aired. Both shows turned out to be brilliant and are among my favorites now. So, I recommend waiting until a show actually aired before judging it (in most cases). I love the movie '12 Monkeys' and I'm looking forward to finding out if the show will be any good.

12 Monkeys - The TV Series - Official Trailer has been added as a related post - related requested by Trancecoach on that post.

Acting? Acting was Legends of the Fall. Acting was 12 Monkeys. Acting was Inglourious Basterds.

This? This was a bad hair day just after finding out what's in the AM/PM Nacho sauce.

Is it just me or does this start sounding a little '12 Monkeys' near the end?
Even a closet anarchist like I am can't help but be a little spooked.

I <3 this movie. I keep it on my shelf between 12 Monkeys and Baron Munchhausen.

All I could think of when I saw the 30 second CNN clip is that somewhere Bruce Willis just convinced his shrink that he really is from the future and the army of 12 monkeys is real.

The first reviews of this that I saw said it was a bit 'meh', and lacked something. I can but hope that they saw an early cut that wasn't finished, or that they're just idiots.

Because I love Gillian (Brazil, 12 Monkeys, Time Bandits... so many brilliant films), and the cast is also brilliant.

Fingers well and truly crossed.

haha like brad pitt from 12 monkeys..
