Better than the original

I like it for reasons other than visuals myself. I like the changes to the 4 main characters in LMI. That's what really made the story hit home for me. Helps when I care about the characters.

The budget was about 15 million and 5 million for marketing...not really "massive" (nor "Hollywood" since the studio is British). For instance, the Deadpool movie was just considered to have a tiny budget and they spent something like 60 million.

They made it count though. That car crash scene is amazing. And most of the CGI you don't even notice (like the extra stories on the hospital and the CGI train). The only reason you notice the Vamp-Abby CGI is because she is supposed to look unnatural.

Its actually not a remake. Production for let me in started shortly before let the right one in.

It's worse than the original, but it's not bad. The 80's feel is fantastic, especially the music.

There are a few reasons why it's worse. First, it's missing the moments of humor from the original. Second, it's missing some of the best shots/moments from the original. The pool scene at the end of the original was shockingly cool, but in the remake it's missing two shots that really made that scene so good.

Additionally the introduction of CGI in a couple scenes is definitely to the remake's detriment (the attack in the tunnel).

It's also, in some scenes, almost a shot-for-shot remake of the original. It's not a "second adaptation." It's a remake.

This is almost completely better than the original. The only thing that I don't like about this version is them cutting out the fact that Abby is actually a boy.

I don't feel enough for you to cry.

Oh well.

This is such an obvious troll attempt
