The original kicks ass. I hope Spike Lee doesn't ruin this or I'll be pissed. |

This could go either way, but I don't know why they would remake this. |

If you find it, give the original a watch. It's pretty brutal at times, but it's great. I hope Spike Lee can live up to this. I'm not sure why a remake exists, especially now with the original only turning 10 soon. |

Dug the original a lot. I'm looking forward to the remake, despite all the flack it's been getting ever since it was announced . . . . J.N. |

It isn't as good as the original. I'm actually not sure that I can say that it's good without the comparison. Josh Brolin is not a bad actor, but his performance is vastly inferior to Choi Min-shik's. I'm not entirely sure if the blame is with Brolin, the direction, or the script, but he's far too much of a steely action hero. I don't want to blame Brolin, because he is good enough in his less restrained moments. None of the other characters are that great really. Elizabeth Olsen's character is similarly a bit too normal for the film. The villains are absolutely ridiculous. I might give Samuel L. Jackson a bit of a pass, but the main villain was terrible. The script is pretty bad. It does too much explaining. I don't know if it was heavily edited, but the pace is off. Instead of being horrific, several scenes are outright cartoon-y. There isn't really anything that isn't a disappointment. The fantastic opening is replaced with a pointlessly long one. The captivity scenes don't have the same amount of emotion. The hammer scene might be bloodier, but it doesn't have any of the wit and just comes across overly choreographed instead of purposefully funny. The ending is decent, but a massive letdown compared to the original. |

So I'm wondering if the twist and ending is similar to the original? |
