It seems like the passing of time, longing for the past, the weight of regrets, etc. are big thematic components of this film so I get that it's gonna lean on that. I get it. I'm trying to untangle why I never felt even a little interested to see this at the theater, and it's probably because I have no emotional attachment to the series. The movie certainly isn't calling to me on its own strengths.blueviper wrote:Is there any way to make a new IJ movie 40 years after the original that doesn’t use nostalgia?
I think it would be impossible.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

This is why I think some here aren't giving it enough credit. I also have no emotional attachment to the series, for example, and still enjoyed this well enough.Jorge wrote:It seems like the passing of time, longing for the past, the weight of regrets, etc. are big thematic components of this film so I get that it's gonna lean on that.
