I'll just start out by saying that if you are only going to buy this only because of fond memories of the original, you may be disappointed. When I heard that this absolute classic was going to be remade I was thrilled. But with good news there must be bad and in this case it was that Tim Burton was directing it. But if I'm honest he actually didn't do a bad job! I was enjoying most of the film up until about three quarters of the way through when I realised that he had made a fatal mistake. You know the groundbreaking scene where the leading man sees the Statue of Liberty jutting out of the ground and comes to the shocking conclusion that he is actually on Earth? It's not here. Why the hell would you leave out one of the most revered moments in cinema history!? Sigh...but gripes aside, this wasn't a bad film at all. Incidently, have you ever seen a more pointless role than that of Helena Bonham Carter? Three guesses as to how she got her part.....

At £3.99, this DVD is a bargain. Fantastic movie, good acting, good storyline. Better than the original. Definately worth every penny and at £3.99 why not buy it? You won't regret it!

Excellent film, you should know what it's all about by now, if your worried that £3.99 is too cheap, then worry not as it's an absolute bargain.
