Absolutely a great movie. It has been many years since I came out of a theater that impressed. It pays homage to the original in direct and subtle ways. The original was the first date my wife and I had after our first child was born. It marks a special time in our lives just a few years after we were married 38 years ago this month. That son turned into a special forces combat veteran that we watched the new movie with. As good as the original was, this one is better!
