I loved the fantasy aspects and the special effects. I usually like Franco, but in this, I thought he was very weak. I enjoyed it, but it’s not on my top ten of great movies. Stacked up against the original, it falls short.
Agree with your comments, exception to the last one that compares/contrasts it with the orignal movie. For me, it is so different and distinct from the original, my mind won’t even try to go there. I consider them entirely seperate and judge them accordingly.
orignal = original
