Well to be fair even as a kid we used to lol at Christopher Lambert's line delivery. Its part of the charm of it all.

(And I worry about the new one landing the Kurgan part, which was primary to the original. Brown was both menacing and comically entertaining... not an easy duo to pull off. If Bautista has anything approaching those chops, I haven't seen it to date.)


Yeah I don't know if Bautista can really meld the comic, menace, and charming aspects of the character. He has done these things separately from each other but never together, I don't think.

Cavil 100% can do that.

This makes me wonder if they're going to go for a more serious/dark tone, as modern movies tend to do, and how that would work.

Lets be real even if it sucks.. at face value as a film the original films sucked. Its just a cool story and lambert was one of the first to do the monotone badass hero before Keanu mastered it.
