Caught an interview with McG on YouTube talking about wanting to be faithful to the fans, and his way of doing that was to reuse dialogue and mimic shots from the original films.
Now, this isn't just against McG, but all these directors, like Brothers Strauss, why is is these guys get it in their head that the only way to be faithful to fans of the originals is to copy parts of them? I just don't understand how so many directors can seem to be so clueless how to make a film carry on a pre-established storyline and bring over the positive elements from the originals without bringing the exact elements.
