How predictable. I've never seen anyone so utterly negative. Is there anything anyone can do out there that you approve of? Those "cretins" in Hollywood bought you the original... 
I for one am looking forward to giving the film a chance. The original, plus several others of its ilk (Forbidden Planet et al) are favourites of mine. I know that any new takes on old movies are not doing the original any harm - they're not being "replaced" as such - so what's your problem?  Man, go get your blood pressure checked.

I agree with you Chris. Ian didn't your Mum ever tell you "if you can't say anything nice.. "
Sometimes it's best just not to press Submit?
The movie looks pretty entertaining to me.

I'm really looking forward to seeing the new version.
Even if it's not great...it's an hour or two of pleasant distraction away from all the other rubbish that we occasionally have to deal with.
And if it's really good.....well....good!!!!!!!!!

I think that with all the modern techniques like CGI and such forth it will be quite worthwhile viewing.
I remember when they brought out Metropolis to the music of Queen, a lot of people said it was terrible but I thought it was quite brilliantly done.

Another favourite of mine too Ric. Giorgio Moroder did the modern sound track - with contributing artists such as Bonnie Tyler, Bat Benatar, Queen and others. Coupled to Fritz Lang's masterpiece it was sensational.

Being biased is fine - so are most of us here I'd hazard a guess. I don't think that a re-make has to follow the plot of the original line for line. In fact, I'd rather they didn't. I suppose that movie makers have to reinterpret the original script (if it wasn't derived from a novel) and add their own to it. As long as the basic premise is fulfilled (i.e. the underlying story) I'm fine with it.

I remember the original and enjoyed it. I'll wait till I see the new one to pass comment. Just watched the first 2 seasons of Battlestar Galactica, is different from the original and it took a couple of episodes to get into it. Looking forward to getting my hands on season 3 now.
Electric Dreams is a favourite of mine too, must have watched it half a dozen times.
