Why all the negativity?
I just watched parts 1 & 2, and while it definitely wasn't perfect, I did enjoy it. Mostly I would say that the casting was great, and the base storyline was intriguing. I was a little bit surprised to see all the backlash on here. Granted, having not read the book or seen the movie from the 70's, I could see being frustrated if this version deviated greatly. Speaking strictly on performance, I thought Coma was great.
What bothered everyone so much? Was it the loss of continuity, or the differences from the other works? It didn't strike me as this horrible mess it's described as on the boards.
