at the end of the day the fan boys are going to love it no matter what and anyone who isn't a fanboy is going to go 'err... and?...'. If you don't believe me then check out the differences in reviews between the geek and mainstream media, I have never seen so much polarity bwtween the two before.
Its a remake of a dull premise which is only ever popular when America needs something to feel blindly proud and self-rightious about in a nostalgic manner. so in the current climate its going to make a killing then bog off back to nothing. TBH I just can't be arsed to go see it, am unlikely to watch it on video, and am much happier that I won't have to reclaim those two and a half hours back at any point.
