@Bread_or_Decide: Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks he was miscast.

It is very telling that the first movie of a return to a beloved universe is projected to be lower than any of the original series' offerings.

@zeeroah: I think his point is that you poorly worded your initial post.

@Atzenkiller: I'm talking about exactly what you just said. Developments in technology are stamping all over IP holders and their outdated ideas. It's happening for all media types, from music to television to movies to games.

Blockbuster went out of business simply because they didn't accept the new reality and alter their business model quick enough. The same can happen in the video game industry, although I believe it is better placed to adapt.

However, in a world where I can, right now, go find most music, tv shows, and movies on a file-sharing website, I don't know what the solution is to protect IP holders or what strategy they can employ to take advantage.

Two writers from Teen Wolf? I'll pass. I've already seen what happens when established licenses get MTV-ified!

Mostly teen pregnancy jokes. No kidding.

As thrilled as I am to see more of the Harry Potter universe, I just cannot stand Eddie Redmayne. While Daniel Radcliffe looked endearingly dorky, I find Eddie Redmayne to look annoyingly clueless. Hopefully he makes up for it through his acting, but I'm not really that hopeful based on the trailers.

"I've always thought there was a story to tell between my last one and Alec Guinness' first one"

Um, is there? Didn't he just bum around on Tatooine for a couple decades "watching over" Luke?

I wouldn't mind seeing Ewan McGregor as Obi Wan again. Frankly, he was probably the best part of the prequels, even if he was poorly directed.

So I take it he's going to be a suicidal Bond at the start of the next movie and slit his wrists, and it was all a big gimmick!

@Atzenkiller: True Atzenkiller, but Nintendo/Pokemon can't stop it. Once this is released, it'll be out there regardless of their takedown notices. This IS the future, whether Nintendo wills it or not. They need to have forward thinking ideas to survive.

I don't know what the right solution is to digital copyright infringement, but they're fighting a losing battle currently.

Looks cool. I'd buy it.

There has to be a way where the IP holders can monetize this. I imagine the concern is around quality, but PC gamers are an informed lot that should realize the game doesn't originate with the Pokemon Company. Throw in a disclaimer and there you have it. Charge $10 for the game, 100% of which goes to the IP owner, and what's the problem?

Meh. I enjoyed the original Ocean's Eleven, even though it could have been better. But I hated 12 and 13 was lackluster. So it's not a very high bar to hit.

People will inevitably compare this to the gender swap in Ghostbusters. Frankly, if the results are anywhere similar to that turd, I'm not going anywhere near this!
