Not as good as the original

Rating: 7/10 (18 July 2015)

If you haven't watched it yet read this... OK I begrudgingly say this is a 7 purely because the story is good and so to be fair i cannot rate it poorly but... having watched the original (which is great) i felt really disappointed and empty because honestly the acting is just a hell of a lot better in the original, its more raw, gritty, real - less hollywoody-americany shallow action movie. it grates on me that they felt people couldn't just deal with the subtitles for the sake of it being so good - its even somewhat offensive even to the original movie when it was so good...if you are considering watching this - watch the original movies, and then maybe skip the re-make altogether as I kinda wish I had as now i also think of the poor job done on the remake instead of just thinking how great they were. I just don't know why they had Daniel Craig do it, it wasn't a good fit at all, and the Rooney Mara one, really blank, wasn't right at all, no connection or something, just wasn't right after seeing the original.
