I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Rating: 8/10 (15 June 2003)

It's interesting to see everyone's comments. I've never seen the original, so I can't comment on that part.
Of the negative comments that I have seen here, I think to myself, "Did I watch the same movie?"
I left the theater very pleased with the Italian Job. From what I could gage from the audience, they enjoyed the film too. Some of the action needs suspension of disbelief, but it didn't take away from the fact that this is a fun, and funny action film.
Ignore the naysayers, and I agree with the pros. Two thumbs up. Do yourself a favor and check out this movie. It's one of the best of this summers films.
