When a movie or new series is derived from old material, I think it's just Hollywood trying to make a buck, not much more. Some of these reworkings will be fantastic, in which case I will stand and cheer. Others are going to be horrendous, which will not make me happy at all. In general, I welcome the idea of my old favorites getting dusted off and revived for the big screen; it's always nice to see my favorite characters again, and it's interesting to see how much they differ from the original versions. The first Scooby-Doo movie comes to mind here; I enjoyed that one so much I saw it in the theater four times (although I'll admit that the latter three viewing were only $2.50 each). I don't see any of these reworkings as ruining the originals for me, though. The remakes may be a bad experience, and the writers and directors ought to be villified for some of them, but they can never take away my memories.
Did I see a mention of a possible
Sailor Moon movie?
Excellent topic, by the way.
