Saw this yesterday with very low expectations. Never saw the original so didn’t really know what it was all about. What a rip-roaring, fun, funny and exciting adventure. Totally daft of course (but no more improbable that your usual blockbuster) and delivered with such verve that the 2 hours flew by.
A great antidote for the january doldrums.

I can't bring myself to watch it, I love the original too much! It's different from the original but that's why it works because it takes the concept and updates it for today. Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart and Karen Gillan was very good but Jack Black was hilarious.

And Nick Jonas is a total cutie.

All I know of the original film is the Cinema Sins video about it.

The original was the film of my childhood. I think it was one of the first films I got on video.
Haven't seen the new one yet but hope to catch it soon.
