Not a ripoff but not a good remake!! Original was better!!

Rating: 6/10 (8 October 2006)

This film is not a carbon copy ripoff, its a bad remake of the original. The story line was kept exactly the same...so much the same that the dialogue was kept the same...exactly the same. Basically anything Hollywood takes from other countries and tries to remake it..they do it badly. Whether its Japanese horror, Chinese action films or anything for that matter..they fail. Why cant they just promote the originals instead, since those who thought them up did a great job and a much better job than Hollywood can ever do. I'm not saying nothing good comes out of Hollywood...I've seen a lot of great films from Hollywood...just never one that was made better than those who thought of the original foreign version. Do yourself a favour...don't rate this higher than the original..its disrespect to the Chinese who did a great job!!!
