Sorry,
Memnoch I will have to wait till it comes out on HBO. I refuse to pay more for a movie than for a "Crown-on-the-rocks" http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

I saw it and thought it was ok. Not as good as it was hyped but not as bad as it was reviewed.

I thought the movie was reasonably good. However, I found it to lack the social commentary of the original and I, personally, was disappointed with the ending.

The most distressing thing about practicing magic is the fact that even the most learned sorcerers cannot accurately describe what magic *is*....

I agree with Azred. Without the social commentary of the first one, it lacked substance and then became more of an 'adventure' than a 3-dimensional story. The acting was excellent, the directing was very good ... it was the story itself that was lacking. And the ending blew. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...les/tongue.gif

I saw it last Friday night. Have to agree with Bili completely. Not bad just not ass good as it could have been either.

Not to be a parrot, but I must admit I agree with all that has been said. My question is, why doesn't Hollywood come up with new ideas, rather than redoing classics that, to my understanding, were near perfect to begin with, and ruining them in the process? Are there no new ideas anymore? How many rehashes of "Planet of the Apes" and "Lost in Space" and "Psycho", etc., can they milk out of the originals? After a while, it really seems to be a bit ridiculous.

That, at least, was my impression upon watching the movie. Eye candy with little or no heart or substance of the original, and a lame ending. *sigh* For once, I'd like to see Hollywood come up with something ORIGINAL and have it be a new classic.

I saw it and thought is was good...but not great.
I'm a sci-fi nut and i loved the originals so it was cool for me...but
i do agree with a lot of what was said above.

I haven't seen it, but any movie with attractive women running around in fur bikinis can't be all bad http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif
