Unfortunately, a movie Rocky and Bullwinkle was just not a good idea. it was more honorable than, say, Legend of the Long Ranger or The Shadow, which trashed the fairly straightforward virtues of the originals while proudly and consciously embracing every cliche of overblown summer blockbusters. In The Shadow, you can almost hear a bunch of guys in meetings: "Cloud men's minds -- nah. What if he had, like superpowers and could morph walls and stuff? And research says we can't have star who actually looks like those famous covers. Let's get Alec Baldwin and he, uh, TURNS INTO Victor Jory. Oh, and the whole first part could be Indiana Jones . . ." As for Legend of the Lone Ranger: "So instead of an outlaw, we have a mad militia leader who wants to kidnap every merchandisable hero of the old west and take it over. And we'll make the ambush bigger than WWII. Then we'll spend time on characters we won't really use until the sequels. Of course, we'll have to economize and use cheap actors for Ranger and Tonty . . ."
