The film itself is terrible, but it managed to become a benchmark of 90s nostalgia which will live on as long as millennial ****filth continue to breathe and whine about their Starbucks order not being right.

I'm ok with adults buying their childhood toys because they liked them, like in the 40 year old virgin, but don't remake a bad movie please just because you liked it as a kid. This had bad written all over it. The only way this could really work is if the whole concept is fresh and unexpected, and it doesn't sound like they are going there with the device.
I'd pay to see the Ball Brothers and Dad get literally destroyed by the Dragonballz heroes. Bugs and Lebron...not so much.
Will be interesting to look back on this one and think, wow, everyone thought this guy was going to be a superstar but he just faded into oblivion (Shawn Bradley). I will see it opening night if Harden is on the bad guy's side.
