I'd much rather hear what people think of this reboot so soon after the first three movies...

How about this? I'm sick of "origin story" movies.

The characters don't run on and on for 40-80 years because the "origins" are so compelling.

I don't see a comedy about 2 high school friends both going to the first day of classes, and then eventually meeting each other, etc. to BUILD UP TO the real story.

Get right into it. Okay, so there is this guy who flies, or who dresses up like a big bat, and they've got these gadgets, or homebase, or whatever.

James Bond films start out in the middle of the action, you don't get into WHY DR XYZ BECAME a bad guy or if he's JUSTIFIED in taking on the US-UK imperialist capitalists...

So if they are going to give me another 90 minutes of origin stories, count me out.

I basically agree — although I have to admit that a movie showing why Dr. No became Dr. No does should interesting. But I guess that was pretty much done with Star Wars episodes 1-3, and they mostly sucked.
