Oh yeah, me too. Reboots can be novel and interesting sometimes. In this case in particular, a less campy vibe would be a very good thing.
I think we can stop worrying about spoilers for stories that have already been told though.
Oh, I agree. I think the cat’s out of the bag on the general plot of this movie!
