Dead_pan, that's it really, a shadow of the original. We have said it before, why do they think they can do a better job than the original. True, new audience and new technology, but new does not always turn out better.
Take the remake of the legendary Dambuster film. Undoubtedly the CGI will allow better visuals, but how do you improve on a script when the principal players are all gone? We should starve all the actors for two years, give them a few months boot camp, and only use actors of the same stature as Tom Cruise.
