Well yes critics DO agree. That's basically cos they're all chickenshit. Critics are just people well-in enough to get paid by a newspaper for what we for free on Mudcat.
The scary bit is when you see your words that you have sent to a website parroted by a 'critic' - happened to me last year.
I think the truth of the matter is that if the old film has a special place in your heart - you won't like this one. But otherwise, its a decent enough film with good actors trying to fulfil an alternative vision of the story.
If you went to a UCI or an Odeon on the week I went - you weren't going to do much better.
