I'm sure the critics would declare such a film to be absolutely devine!  |
For every movie 'ruined' the way NCFOM was, there's a billion ruined by focus groups and industry notes like you seem to be advocating. Think the parody abortion of a film Bruce Willis and Julia Roberts were making at the end of 'The Player'
And critiquing a film for not being more like everything we've already seen, and not being more like an entirely different type of film, is the epitome of weak sauce.
"Titanic sucks, maybe I'll remake Star Wars and the Millenium Falcon will crash into the Death Star, Luke Skywalker floats off into space, and the story is told from the POV of a 90 y.o spinster Leia."
