Well, let's more say it's been a while since they made a movie the whole family wanted to see and not get their time back after they did. There certainly was no shortage of "family friendly" movies lately, only that they all were a waste of time and money.
More than that, I think. In a stunning turnabout of consumer relations, the producers actually listened to the target audience, and re-animated the whole damn film because people weren't happy with it.
Imagine if they had done that with Cats. Well, maybe Cats got a boost because it was so bad that it was an instant audience participation movie (only movie I know of with midnight screenings with the audience yelling at the screen and throwing things in its initial run.)
When the fans said "this sucks", they didn't insult the fanbase and tell them not to see the movie, they said "sorry about that". And then they fixed it. It's almost like a business with good customer service makes more money or something.
Wow. Sounds like you missed some live productions of Rocky Horror Picture Show. Throwing things at the screen and audience participation was par for the course back then.
Yeah, but the intention behind it is quite different. Or, in another way, while both grow in your garden, it's a very different statement whether you throw a rose or a tomato.

If they're young enough, they'll probably say "Well, he can't be worse in the movie than in the games about him..."
