A good movie

Since I kept hearing many good things about this movie, I was really curious to see it. Eventually, I thought it was pretty good and, in my opinion, it is probably one of the best remakes ever made. Indeed, there was a pretty good cast (it was above all a nice and welcome surprise to see Sarah Polley in a commercial feature like this one), it was visually quite impressive and the whole thing was simply really entertaining. Indeed, the whole thing was just very well done, with some good action scenes and Sarah Polley is definitely one of the most underrated actresses around and she displayed her acting skills once again with this flick. On the downside, Znyder has dropped the whole reflection on consumerism which made the original so stricking and thus the weakest point with this movie is that the story was not original and rather predictable. For Zack Snyder, it was still a really solid directing debut and the start of a rather prolific career (my favorite is, by far, ‘Watchmen’ which unfortunately didn’t get much love when it was released). To conclude, all in all, it is a really entertaining picture and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
