AWFUL, typical low quality Hollywood action without acting or story

Rating: 1/10 (4 April 2010)

The original movie was so much better. You have to forgive it's 1980s special effects, but the acting was better and character development led you to care what happens to the characters. The new movie was only made for the special effects and nothing else. The acting is horrible, the lines are cheesy, and the story is HIGHLY altered from the original movie. There are new characters added that had no point, and parts of the movie were drastically altered for no purpose other than it might be cool for little kids to watch and draw more people who only care about high-end special effects. For anybody who liked the original movie a lot you will be VERY VERY VERY disappointed. I nearly walked out of the movie, but I was with friends and that was the only thing that kept me. They also thought it was horrible and they hadn't even seen the first movie. I would suggest not going to see this in theaters, because all you will be doing is fueling the Hollywood engine that produces action/adventure "movies" that have zero quality in the scripts/plot or acting.
