    I think one element that causes the uneven footing when a new GAR flick rocks up, is you never quite know what you're going to get. It's always behind a curtain, or quite obscured, for the longest time and then it's revealed.

    You never quite know what you're going to get, or what you should expect. Whereas with many of us here, we came to GAR's movies after the fact, so they just were.

    If that makes sense?

    Makes perfect sense.

    Definitely, a huge point in all of this.

    When the originals are built up to such a legendary status, they're never going to be beaten by a movie sandwiched in between all the things that annoy us about modern film...

    Just think, when Dawn was made, it had the same annoying habits that movies of that genre/period had - its just that we've accepted them to the point of not seeing them...

    Nowadays if someone in a movie walks down a cellar with nothing but a nightgown and a candle we all scream "oh purrlease!!" - back in the 70s that may not have been such an issue...

    Now, does THAT make sense?
    Innocent victims of merciless crimes, fall prey to some madman's impulsive designs.

    Step after step we try controlling our fate. When we finally start living, it's become too late.

    Yes, it does. Which why despite heated protests otherwise, I wonder how people will look back on the new ones 20 years from now, or kinds 20 years in the future discovering them for the first time. Also why I try to take as mellow an approach as possible when approaching the newer films, keeping context in mind, etc.

    The slapstick element is something i love and other people probably don't like about this

    Almost got a twist of Zombieland humour in it don't you think?
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
