Exactly, how can you call it "crap" before you've even seen it, it might
actually be good. Heck, its in the early stages so it might end up not
happening like the long-talked about KR movie.
Guess some people want to get their ba****ng in as early as possible.
Heck, for all we know it has the potential of looking better than the
original (not being better than the original, just looking better)
production-wise with the advance in FX and such which will allow for
things they couldn't do in the original series due to budget and FX
limitations of the time period. You have to admit there was times the
cheese factor was kinda high on the original series, especially with the
recycling of stunt shots or using stock footage from old movies. We
won't EVEN talk about "Super Pursuit Mode". Catch my drift?
