Terrifically bad. They tried to fill the old canvas with new content and at the same time leave it as it was. Mutually exclusive goals. In fact, one step was missing before the remake. But maybe I'm just stuck in the past and this is a new approach? Hardly. If it's new wine, why put it in old bottles? Take contemporary stories. There is no point in reanimating a plot that worked at the peak of the nuclear confrontation. No one is trying to remake “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” or “Pulp Fiction” with great racial diversity and in a feminist vein. A new vision does not need old ideas from the past. And if you grasp the old, then there is no new vision. As usual, deciding to please everyone, Hollywood did not please anyone.
The film raises one serious question: let’s say the creators would be tasked with making the script worse. What would they come up with? Is it possible to invent something worse? Some twists are like a thrash parody. One gets the impression that the exhausted screenwriters began to insert fierce trolling into the plots. The producers don’t even notice that.
