Disappointing remake of the original

Rating: 2/10 (6 December 2009)

I always assume that a Spielberg film will be great, but this is a real stinker, mostly because the kid characters were so obnoxious, I was hoping they would get zapped as early as possible.
Robbins constantly swings the barrel by Cruise's head - there were just too many careless mistakes and I really had had about enough with Rachel and her high pitched screaming. The story really needed serious help and the characters weren't all that great either. I give it a 2. I would have said 1 but the main character is a Yankee fan :)
For a movie I was looking forward to for so long, I am really disappointed.
