Wife: Yes Chris Hemsworth is in it
MeRolling my eyes) Fine it's not the not the same movie
Wife: What the difference?

20 mins later

Me: And that's why this movie sucks
Wife:Can we watch the movie NOW
Me: Yes you want some popcorn?
Wife: Yes hurry up its starting
Me: Meh
And see, this is why I prefer the single life, no offense.

And yes, I think it's already been agreed by most, the remake is utter crap. The producers should have made the "villians" the CHINESE but they had to bow and kowtow to their masters. The makers of the original film themselves admitted in a documentary that it was a very controversial film even for it's time, but they made it anyway. It seems the producers of this shitty remake lost their balls, or were that desperate to reap potential (?) Chinese profits.
