This one gets a moment in time. It’s pretty much the last chance to do something with most of the original cast and creator.
You can say that for most of these reunion/reboots. Meryl Streep is pushing 80, so The Devil Wears Prada 2 had to happen now. We’ve already lost one Ghostbuster, so we really needed to make Afterlife happen stat.
Not that I want to harsh anyone’s buzz. I’ve enjoyed some of these things, and this may turn out to be one of the good ones. But I’m not seeing anything setting it apart from the others, either.
Rick Moranis retired from acting almost 30 years before this project and it was a project worth him coming back for in his opinion.
That’s different from your examples in a fundamental way. I’m not sure how I can explain it to you, but the difference for this one is clear and unambiguously a different situation then what you are comparing them to me
When it’s The Devil Wears Prada and we’re talking about Streep, she may was well be.
Moranis is an amazing get, I’ll give you that. I’m not trying to write this movie off, I just don’t automatically write any of these things off. I don’t think the glut of backwards looking projects is good for the industry as a whole, but most do have potential on an individual basis, and a couple of them deliver on it. I’m certainly hoping this will be one of them.
As do we. Let’s stop rising old franchises to the hole in the roof during a storm.

While I share your sentiment usually, this one really is an exception to the reboot slop we have seen over the last decade or so
comedies are the exception to rebootslop (generally), for example i desperately want another austin powers movie

One person isn’t the majority of the entire cast.
