The cartoon version was - not good. Best thing was the Frazetta poster. Hope Rodriguez crafts a better movie.
ReplyDeleteI thought the animated "Fire and Ice" was very underrated and not as bad as everyone was saying. I enjoyed it and I'm glad there will be a live action version, especially knowing that the creative Rodriguez is behind the camera.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the cartoon, so I'm anxious to see the movie version, especially since it sounds like a space opera, and everybody knows it's my favourite movie genre :))
ReplyDeleteHe always picks such interesting projects!
