    I finally saw this today. I liked it. It wasn't great; it's not a classic - no one is going to confuse it with the 1984 original. The new cast is very good. I thought they were funny, and they seemed dedicated, trying their best to make even the smallest jokes work (which they didn't always)...

    What have I missed? Why is this movie being considered a disaster before it opens? Has the director disavowed himself? The cast? Has there been a screening that went badly? The only chatter I hear on the Internet is from some people who'd rather not see a movie lead by women, which is hardly...
