I watched the remake about a month ago, to start with I couldn't decide if I liked it not not but after watching it again I think it's ok - it's definitely not in the same league as the original though which was to be expected really. I think the biggest let down of this remake is the fact that it's heavily toned down to more of a family audience with it being a 12A rating, I think if it was a 15 or even an 18 then it would of been miles better in my opinion. Gary Oldman has also hinted that if this remake was successful in the box office charts & amongst the film critics too then it could spawn into a sequel.
