It's not a terrible, terrible movie. I say it's worth a rental. It's got some fun action, but the story is cut way short.

Honestly it looked to me, like they had this great movie, but then they got to the editing bay and started chopping it up in order to fit a certain time-frame. There were elements where I could just tell a scene was longer and explained more, but it cut off.

The result was a choppy story that didn't make as much sense, and characters that you never cared for...at all. I was a big fan of the original, but that's why I was so excited to see this one.

I actually didn't hate the movie as much as most seem to have. I thought it was a fun enough movie. Granted it is more of a rental type movie, but it's wasn't horrible for me. It was fun. I've also never seen the original version though, so maybe that helps to not raise expectations like it seemed to have done for others.

More than likely you're probably right. This should be a direct to DVD. Unfortunately we're going to have to endure this in the theaters.
