Without giving any spoilers, answer this question:


Is it really that awful? I wanted to watch it when it was on before but didn't get to, and now it's coming on again. I don't want to rule it out because some people say it's boring. I tend to like these types of movies, and I'm always looking for something I haven't seen already. Is there anyone out there who liked this? Or is it really just completely unworth the watch? Thanks.

It's pretty bad. As I note elsewhere, it depends entirely on the Idiot Plot, and even there, needs a Coincidence Plot element or so (particularly, a car not starting when it really really has to but hasn't shown any sign of problems before this)

And when I say "idiot", I mean EVERY SINGLE SOLITARY PERSON of relevance to the plot is an utter moron above and beyond any kind of rational acceptability. The two girls, the "evil" side of the equation, and Urban's character, too.

I like looking at pretty girls, and the two girls certainly qualify (judging from your picture, that may be unlikely to be of interest), but even with that it was hard to tolerate this dreck. I wound up fast forwarding through a good chunk of it after about 45 minutes. And that is, literally in my opinion, the only way it's worth watching.

I suppose, if I had an 8yo daughter, I might watch it with her (ffing through many parts) just to point out to her, over and over: "This. This is the kind of thing you don't EVER do. It's just flat out braindead stupid."

I actually didn't mind it lol, I haven't seen the original and saw this not knowing what it was about and I am actually suprised it is getting such bad reviews on here
