just rewatched the trailer and every shot shown is just a recreation of a shot in this film lol.
this film is perfect in my opinion and while some of its character models look outdated its still a visually pleasing film and jay baruchel plays hiccup very well. i also just find his voice very fitting for his character.now i wanna talk about the new remake a bit and just the disscusion on remakes as a whole. what is a good remake?
imo a good remake is something that embraces its roots while also bringing something new to the table.
there are more bad remakes then good ones but there are a few that are good, for example:
funny games.but why is funny games considered a good remake despite being a shot for shot recreation? from reviews i've read its because it actively wants you to watch the bloodshed and terror again before it pulls the rug from under you and calls you out again. the reason to recreate every little detail, every camera angel has a purpose.
now i can't speak on everything that happens in the how to train your dragon remake because i haven't seen it yet but the trailers show me the exact same film that was made in 2010, just in live action.'
and overall im just thinking: what is the point?
at least funny games seems to have a purpose behind it to be remade 10 years after the original. the original how to train your dragon was made in 2010 and im wondering, why are we remaking such relatively new films? you could do so much with remakes of like 1920 to 1940 films(which often then not, people still fumble that somehow)
but i want to give the new film a chance because i really love these films so im planning to watch it tommorow perhaps.(also watch my newest film https://boxd.it/VbxI )
