Meh, remakes are fine. If you love the original, you should be happy to see someone else's take on it. The original is untouched and you can keep watching it too. This won't be the same and it's not supposed to be. It's a new take on it, made for today's young audience. It's not intended for us that watched the original.

@@Beeti1 Yeah take a look at Disney Star Wars destroying the name Star Wars, turning fans to anti-fans and their last iteration "Acolyte" ended with 5% of the audience that "The Mandalorian" had. Its not as if a horribly bad politicized remake will ever destroy an IP and turn people off to it.

There have been times when remakes have been better than the original. The original silent film of Ben-Hur was considered a great film, but it was remade, and the remake far exceeded the original in quality. Just because a film was great, doesn't mean it can't be made even better. I think it's worth seeing if this one can live up to challenge.

The prejudice against dwarves continues.

The answer to all the concerns in these comments is hilariously: TIME TRAVEL

No Way!

Your Scientists Were So Preoccupied With Whether Or Not They Could, They Didn’t Stop To Think If They Should

this movie will do for Waititi what The Book of Henry did for Trevorrow. It' got their Star Wars movies taken away from them by Disney.

From the vampires that brought you "What We Do in the Shadows" comes another story in the 'Time Bandits' universe . . .

about the movie get a reboot, cannot wait to see it.

Loved the original hope it is good

Once again, proof that Hollywood simply no longer has original ideas, it's all remakes, sequels, prequels

Of course Apple TV has the comment section turned off. This trailer and remake of Time Bandits is super horrible. They should have casted Person of Short Stature for all six roles of Time Bandits. Nope, we get the DEI version of them which is super cringe 100%. There are plenty of dwarf actors that were availble for potential roles for this remake of this movie. I'm pretty sure that these leftist that cry racism turned a blind eye to this movie.

Robin Hood", "The most fabulous object in the unEEverse", "Leer at them, Darling. You know, like you used to", "Mum! Dad! Don't touch eet. It's evil."

The original still holds up. This was not only completely unnecessary but looks like they intend to ruin everything that made the original the classic that it is.

This did one thing right : reminded me how great and how much I love the original. Where is the wonder, excitement, humour and horror? This looks like another terrible remake/reimagining, when will they stop...

Some charms cannot be recaptured.

Watch this and possibly ruin one of the sacred movies/moments of my childhood? I think not.
