One thing I liked about this movie...
The one thing I found superior to the new version was the time spent developing the characters. It was hard to care much for the characters in the new remake because of how short the movie was. Of course, this movie could have trimmed the speeches, but it at least managed to establish the characters a little better. Even if a lot of the acting was horrible.
Actually, all in all, I didn't this movie was utterly terrible. Like anything, it had its good moments. But it remains a pretty pale imitation.
The minute you start pointing fingers, somebody's going to get poked.
