Yeah, I mean I kinda figured.
I'm not in the habit of trying to enjoy bad movies too much. They have to be uniquely bad in an interesting way. So there's a little curiosity from 1) how and why it's exactly SO hated, and 2) how they effed up such breezy source material.
I imagine it has to do with corner-cutting and lack of tech to realize the whizbang things happening on the page, kind of like how Marvel movies sucked until CGI and masterplanning the narratives across the platform came along.
But like I said, not interested enough to find out.
