Title: Disappointing
Review: This could have been an entertaining movie despite its difference from the original 1951 production. But it was totally ruined by the number of film-minutes spent on the emotions of the dumb kid. You feel like strangling the stupid little brat.The story line was weak and even with its special effects it comes in a distant second to the low tech 1951 version. The 1951 film is better written and infinitely better acted and it's story line is logical and powerful. Altogether much more enjoyable. It's a classic that can be viewed over and over again. Unlike the latest rendering which is hardly worth watching once let alone twice.
