The original was always a favorite of mine, so I do not want to compare this to that, only to view it as itself completely separate from that so as to either love it or hate it on its own two feet. (It's like an Italian going to an Italian restaurant in America... I can only enjoy the restaurant food if I think of it as American food, not Italian, because it is not the same as my Italian food and what I grew up eating.) So now you see I am judging this Spielberg movie only as a movie, not as a remake, no strings attached.
And it is FABULOUS! GO SEE IT!
