this movie better be the sh*t (and nothing like Independece Day which really sucked balls). Keanu Reeves plays an emotionless alien -- in other words, this is how he normally acts in other movies.

Err
eh?
did you just say kathy bates should have played nick fury? i mean she's a good actress and all but... wait a second... was nick fury even in that movie?
orion what are you talking about?
oh wait i see the connection. gort (galactus) is coming to destroy the world, keanu (surfer) is the messenger of doom, and kathy bates would be the government operative trying to figure sh*t out...
something like that?

This is what Fantastic Four Rise of the Silver Surfer should have been. Keanu Reeves-Silver Surfer, Gort-Galactus, Kathy Bates-Nick Fury. Just sayin.

Err
good call, how about
"klaatu barada nikto, muhf*cka!"
i like the sleek design of gort, and how they stuck to the same basic principles of gort's aesthetic from the original.

LOL.. err! (but it should be updated with the addition or.. "Biotch" at the end)
Is it me.. or does Gort kinda look like a cross between a Cylon and Jet-Jaguar from Godzilla?

Cell needs to remake his ass, cuz it just spontaneously combusted...sorry, random joke
Cell, your seriously using the "Zzzz" phrase as a sign that this bores you? How can this bore you? DID YOU EVEN WATCH THE TRAILER?!?!...EPIC! Newsflash, hotshot, a movie isn't instantly bad if it's a remake. Who cares as long as it's good???...oh, that's right, just you...sad, really...
Anyways, the cyclops dude is "Gort"

Err
hahaha, fallen.
well put.
whats funny about cell is the other day he said "all remakes are sh*t..." but when he heard about the inglorious basterds remake he was super excited.
you're just a f*cking hypocrite like me and everyone else, cell, why dont you get off your high horse and join the party.

Without remakes, we wouldn't have nearly half of what modern cinema has to offer. Besides, sometimes remakes can improve upon old concepts.
Based on this trailer, I'm sold.

Just a Hollywood remake, Cell? That's what I first thought, but it looks more like a reinvention after watching that extended trailer. As much as I like the original, it's hard for audiences today to sit through it without being bored to tears. I'm assuming you've seen the original, Cell? If not, you're way out of line buddy.
Wow... I was interested before, but now my interest has gone up ten fold. I've been itching for a good Sci-Fi for a LONG time. Great casting too.

I still don't know about this one... it looks like one of those movies that relies more on special effects than a good story.

It's all about better filming technique in 21st century. Remake is always a step behind. Honestly, it looks stunning, and I'll probably see it, just for the story and effects sake.
