I thought it was terrific. The usual nitpicking will go on from all those souls who can't stand to see a beloved "classic" remade and were waiting in ambush to find as much fault as they could to justify their pre-conceived notions.
I think the aspect of the attitude of so many of these folks I find strange is the absolute venom with which they spit it out. The other thing is that it's not "cool" to like something big and commercial. It's just another form of elitism from the old fart fan boy brigade. Go see it, have a good time. It's a movie.

OK, after a year of waiting, I saw Peter Jackson's version of KING KONG the other night... 3 hours never went by so fast.

I'll hold off on a full review for another week to give y'all a chance to check it out. -- JR
