Title: Cn't even light a match
Review: I totally agree with Leonard Maltin's review. This version of "Tale of Two Cities" can't even light a match in comparison to the 1935 classic. It tries; the pacing is very similar, and even some of the dialogue is identical. However, the actors in the 1935 version are only several thousand times better in the original. (Steven Seagal would have been better in the lead role than Chris Sarandon.) The 1935 version is shorter, and yet the characters and the story are better developed and more interesting. I didn't care what happened to any of the characters in this version, which also lacks the wit and humor of the original.
Is the review positive or negative?
