They stuck in an after-credits Misfits stinger, presumably after fans noticed the lack of them in casting reports and raised the hue-and-cry…not sure if thats better or worse?

It was a Blumhouse-produced microbudget flick by Hasbro We-Don't-Have-A-Female-Audience, The-Only-People-Watching-MLP-Are-Bronies! I don't know why they even BOTHERED pretending that they really, truly cared about the fans, for months. Everyone knew this was going to be the outcome, except for a few poor deluded souls

Oh right, I forgot and got my timelines crossed again! Darn second-hand time machines…

Yes, that would be fun! Heroes contending with bureaucracy and paperwork and scandal is always funny but rarely exploited for that.

Even if it did, it would just be a duller version of Bean's Black Death and/or Cage's Season of the Witch, so you aren't likely to be missing anything. Long gone are the days when Ingmar Bergman could make an interesting political and psychological allegory for a humanity trying to figure out how to live, not merely

The problem is, he isn't hammy, just ham-like. If he were hammy, he'd at least be entertaining, but he just mumbles the scenery instead of chewing it!

I wonder if the brain trust behind The Last Witch Hunter, Riddick, Sahara, Priest, Dracula Untold, and the forthcoming Clash of the TItans 3 Gods of Egypt, are aware that the Black Death, more scientifically known as the bubonic plague, is still alive and well and going strong in rodent populations worldwide — but

Is there anyone who doesn't associate this song with the Goblin King?

Be sure you read all the other reviews going "You'd have to cast a spell on me to force me to sit through this again, you wouldn't believe that a film this stuffed with action scenes and intrigues could be so bloody BORING" first…

So YOU'RE the one responsible for all these "squeaquels"!?! Now we know who to unleash the Mechanical Hounds upon!

Well, in the Hellboy movies it was a grim joke — the officials trying to cover it up, while everyone knew that SOMETHING was going on, if not exactly what. A caustic commentary if you will, on the uselessness of government or corporate cover-ups, especially in an age of citizen media recordings and broadcasts…but

Explained — again, genocide.

But was that in Shyamalan's adaptation? Has anyone actually managed to get all the way through it to find out how much was changed?

ATLA explains it very clearly, with words AND pictures, leaving no doubts about the genocide. Dunno about The Last Airbender, I don't know anyone who's been able to make it very far into it without tapping out…

Which will be entirely cribbed from Inuyasha volumes/episodes…

Apparently Cussler is very protective of his characters and he felt that Sahara botched badly enough that he won't license any further books for adaptation…

Look at him with the beard, then look at screenshots of the Wizard of Oz. He's totally cosplaying the Cowardly Lion in the flashbacks!

Another review of this calls Diesel Johnson's dimmer little brother…

But Narnia is a multiverse story, as clarified in Magician's Nephew, with strong emphasis on the Clarkean "magic is just a science we don't have the tools to understand" and a lot in common with Eddison and the other early 20th century fantasists like Haggard and A. Merritt…

I read that story. It's by C.L. Moore, "Shambleau"…
