I was in disbelief when they rebooted the series before. This sounds like a cash cow grab.

This will either be Empire Strikes Back or Hangover 2.

No middleground.

You should give it a try.
Awesome movie

Will see this, loved the first one

I want a "I'm Eric's *****." t-shirt.

This is one reboot that made me feel old when no one releaised it was based on a tv series.

Enjoyed the first one alot, Was expecting to only have one or two decent laughs at first

will be seeing this second.

Dunno why, maybe because I grew up with the series, the movie just didn't do it for me. The series had a kind of lazy humour to it, a sly poke at life as a teenager/young adult, while the rebooted movie was more slapstick and almost moralistic/preachy, IMO. Will probably give the second one a miss...

Some tv series were never meant to be rebooted or remade into a movie.

I've been hearing rumours about an Equalizer movie in production too.

It may be because I was expecting the worst but the last movie actually surprised me. I received quite a few laughs from it. Considering that the movie was written and designed to grab the high school audience I avoided the movie for a long time and even though I have outgrown a lot of the humor in the movie I still thought most of the humor was well written and performed. I wish we could see more humor that's not written for a specific demographic like the high school or college audience.

You negative nancy

You laughed at that stupid scene, didn't you.

Seen Joblo's review for this one

gives it a 8/10.

I loved the series, and the movie worked for me. Probably because they avoided recasting the original actors in a direct re-make and went with "what if this program were still around?"
Much more freedom to just do their own thing and throw in some shout outs.

A straight up remake set in the 80s ala Starsky & Hutch would have worked too, but what they did was, i think, a better choice.

22 Jump Street was dope. Recycled the same plot from the first film but, hey, if it works, why fix it lol.
