Big budget, but not Melissa Hunter. Pfft.
Just goes to show that the estate cares less about artistic integrity than money. I'll try to contain my amazement.
But still, it plays castration by piranha for laughs, so we'll see.

I don't have high hopes for this.
The casting is excellent - particularly Gomez - and it's reassuring that Burton is actually directing (for the first two episodes, at least). But I find it odd that it's gone to Netflix as opposed to Amazon Prime, considering that MGM is a subsidiary of Amazon. Amazon execs would have definitely seen it first, so I wonder if the test screenings weren't well received.
Mind you, poor test screenings aren't necessarily a sign that things are bad. Sometimes it's a sign that some things are deemed overly offensive/distasteful to what the execs regard as the target market, so maybe it's going to be really, really good. Plus, they greenlit Wheel of Time...

I watched Addams Family Values again last week and it has held up really well. I said at the end though it was a good thing Tim Burton hadn't got his claws into it. Now here we are.
Wednesday Addams goes to Hogwarts.

What are you objecting to?
Addams Family Values being good?
Tim Burton not being as good as people believe?
The Hogwarts thing?

I very strongly object to the idea that Addams Family Values could hold up really well, considering how terribly bad it was at the time.
And I was a lot more forgiving of mediocre films back then, being young and optimistic, and with cinema tickets being affordable.
