What did we think?

Anthony Sherratt says: There’s zero point of remaking a movie if you don’t stay true to at least the core values of the original. Rupert Sanders and Bill Skarsgård either didn’t understand the point of the Brandon Lee version or simply didn’t care. Neither is a good result for any of us who had to sit through this diabolically bad film with very few redeeming qualities.

If it had its own title and wasn’t attempting to ride coattails, you could appreciate some aspects but as it is this just feels like a money grab where they couldn’t be bothered to put any real effort into it.
