Excellent Remake That's Better Then The Classic Original!

Rating: 9/10 (2 March 2005)

This is an excellent remake that's better then the classic original!. The Effects are outstanding, and the story was engrossing, throughout!. Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis had wonderful chemistry together,plus, it was really different from the original, which was good. The dialog is quite engaging, and you really feel for the characters especially Goldblum's. The Direction is awesome!. David Cronenberg, does an awesome job here, keeping a grim, depressing mood throughout, with lots of nifty camera work, loved the scenes, with Goldblum as a fly on the ceiling,it was also quite stylish and overall he did an excellent job!. There is TONS of gore!. We get a monkey turned inside out(very gory), TONS of nasty decomposing flesh, nasty broken wrist,nasty fingernail removing, an ear falls off, TONS of nasty acid puking, bloody child birth, melted off hand, melted off foot, a face is completely ripped off, a body falls apart (EXTREMELY gory), exploding head,and some nasty fly effects, gore hounds will love it!. The Acting is Terrific!. Jeff Goldblum is Marvelous here, he had wonderful chemistry with, Geena Davis, was very likable, and managed to creep the hell out of me near the end, i also felt sorry for his character, he did a wonderful job!. Geena Davis is beautiful, and does excellent here, her chemistry with Goldblum is wonderful, she is vulnerable, and gave a terrific performance!. John Getz, is good as the asshole, i hated him!. Overall i highly highly recommend this excellent film! ****1/2 out of 5
