I was looking at it too but have heard its pants. IMDB doesnt give it a good rating either

I recommend you wait for the rental and watch it then. I saw this at the cinema and didnt think that much of it. It was a decent watch with some great scenery and decent special effects but the film doesnt really go anywhere. Guy Pearce does the best with the role he is given and samantha mumba is hot. I dont reckon anyone should buy this unless its really cheap like 6-7 quid. Jeremy Irons is a dissapointment after his great villainous roles, this ranks at the bottom.

Yeah, ditto, I saw it at the cinema and found it to be very weak and disappointing.

I would also recommend that you rent it rather than buy it.

Not bad. Special effects were excellent and disc has a good featurette on this. one thing I couldn`t help thinking was - Give Guy Pierce a decent meal, he was thinner that Samantha Mumba! His face is all concaved and he looks awful!
Must be missing Madges Aussie cooking!

Yup.
It`s not terrible, but it`s really not very good. FAR better films to spend you £10/£11/£12 or whatever on!

I watched it last week. Thought it was terrible! Fortunately I only borrowed it of a mate, so didn`t waste my money.

I thought the original film was best although dated, if It stuck to the earlier format but with modern effects I think it would have been a better movie.

I`d personally buy the original film! It`s cheap on Play.
