Better to watch the old version

Rating: 3/10 (7 July 2005)

After one dud after another, I have decided that whoever the genius was that did all of the early work Spielberg took the credit for is either retired, dead, or was fired.
I was disappointed in the movie, but my poor friend was devastated. He has been reading all the hype on this movie for several months and I believe expected the book or at least something entertaining.
The characters were not likable. I am still trying to figure out the plot. The effects were good but fell way short of making the movie. The money spent the hire Tom Cruise was wasted. This was a movie of screaming and running; it wasn't for me.
My advice is go rent or buy the old version with Gene Barry, it was a much better movie and you can pay for it with the money saved on this flick.
