I've tried to get through the original about 4 times. It's exactly 1 of 4 movies I've started and never finished. That one has the distinction of more than one attempt. Now it has the distinction of being 1 of 5 and the same boring story. For me, that puts it in the same category as Napoleon Dynamite but worse. Special effects and popular actors don't save a bad story. I'd really hoped this would be better but sadly it's not. I've watched countless movies over the years and I could leave plenty of bad reviews but both versions of this take the cake. I'm baffled by how this has such a high score and how so many people can hold it in such high regard. My personal opinion, take it or leave it, is that this is the single worst series in cinematic history.
