I didnt really like it, which is too bad, I thought it would have some pretty good Canadian humor, which it did not.....and I hate that they made the only 'Canadian' such a bitch....was not really funny, and too much romance in the end.....
This movie holds more true to the book but the original is far superior. The adults are far less sympathetic and a darker tale is told. The inter-weaving of the book and original movie is interesting. If you have not seen it yet, dont read any further.....there are a few things that I liked better in this one....which is why it even got two stars....I like that Burt was having PTSD flashbacks, it added an interesting element.....and I loved the scene where Isaac was directing the crowd from the roof with his hands.....however, it would have been even creepier if Isaac was not a small eight year old....they should have made him around the same age he was in the original....and was the sex scene between two minors really necessary??
