I had been on the fence about this and you answered my questions. <br /><br />I agree with all the things you said about the movie as well; what bothers me is, JJ originally offered the Khan role to Benecio del Toro, who turned it down. As much as I like Cumberpatch, I don't understand why JJ couldn't then offer it to another of the many worthy Latino actors in Hollywood rather than going straight to Sherlock.Adam Holmbergnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-20883831964427296862014-09-25T08:41:48.465-05:002014-09-25T08:41:48.465-05:00It's always a shame when a good tie-in comic h...It's always a shame when a good tie-in comic has to take too much time away to explain the problems of its original movie. "Transformers: The Reign of Starscream" did the best it could to redeem the film and make Starscream an interesting character... and then they made the second movie and threw it all away. <br /><br />John Barber did his best to edit everything together so that the third movie's comics sort of made sense. Not that it mattered--IDW realized that no one outside of the hardcore fans (harder core even than me) wanted tie-ins to the Bay films, so they shifted Barber over to work on "RID" with pretty major success.doug.glassmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18018711097234509826noreply@blogger.com
