The new film does not 'rain' on my parade, Mr. O'Donnell. It was only a fair film, regardless of the money it has made! I do like the soundtrack music... but, the story..? Well... it still stands as fact that most critics did not agree with the film... it looks like the 'parade' is pretty darn long from what I have seen. If you liked this version, all well and good..it had a few agreeable points in its favor. I went to see it...and I just did not find the magic of the original novel and the first cinematic version even closely touched in this updated version, yet Simon Wells indicates in the HBO special "First Look" that it is meant to be a tribute. I just did not see much of a tribute here. If his film does well internationally, so be it... Wells will have the money back that he invested in making it! But, for my part, I was a bit disappointed in this new film! And, I would dare say that there is a larger group of TM fans who will agree with this. Please excuse me for being too critical of your remarks.... I was just stating an opinion... |
