I loved the first one. Of course Williams played a large role in that. But it was such a surprise at the time. And when I saw a new version had been released I was curious. But it looked formulaic (and like you say, that isn't necessarily a bad thing). The poster showing the 'tough guy', the 'funny guy', the larger guy', and the 'token chic' kind of put me off. But then I read the effects and story line are as bad as could be. So I was 50-50.

Your review gives me some hope, for a does of entertainment I think it fits the bill. And if it gets people who missed the original to maybe go back and give that a go, then it can't be all that bad.

Thanks for your review.
