As someone who was on hand for a few of them being made into films and on set to see the creative process, it is very simple. Game studios will sell the rights to the game but in many cases limit what can be done. "Wing Commander" could not use the designs of the ships, uniforms, or Kilrathi nor any storylines from the game series. "Far Cry" was allowed to use the names of the characters and an island setting, but it could not be a Tropical island and the look and names of...

The reviewer we had assigned to it said it was so dark and dysfunctional but you could not take your eyes off it.

I think this is going to emotionally compromise people.

It does look good. Mary Poppins returns and this look like classic Disney.

They were painted in a corner and figured this was the best way out.

It did not Bomb as it made money. it just not did what they had hoped for. DVD sales have been good as has on demand.259 million world wide on a 150 million budget. The question was how much did they spend on ads and p.r.

Mattel had a very impressive lineup of Jurassic items as well which was posted as a companion article.

Really impressed with what they have been showing at Toy Fair.

Perhaps I am old fashioned but shouldn't the movie come out first before a person gets awarded for it?

I did think that Season 2 was too much homage and not enough new content but it had at least some good episodes and moments. I think the hype of season 1 has overridden it and they had a hard time keeping up with expectations so played it safe.

Remember, global audience. You have a generation of people who do not know who the originals are and you need name star power, especially for the new generation and to sell overseas.

I cannot even watch it anymore. I record it and video search through it until I see something worth stopping and watching. I have not stopped on the last 6 episodes.

I will be very curious to see if they stream in 4K. If you want bonus material you buy disks.

Wait until 2018. At least you get tons of stuff as bonus features.

Why do you say that? Most if not all of the films in the set have been well-received by fans and critics alike.
