Title: Very Good Remake
Review: Wishing all along to see this, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this adaptation of the classic horror movie is quite noteworthy. I have been a fan of Naomi Watts since "The Ring". Here she is wonderful as the the beauty who tames the savage beast.The special effects are of the highest caliber though I admit I grew a little weary of the fight scenes betwee the computer generated animals/monsters. Thankfully, the movie did not descend into a special effects extravaganza, usually to hide the fact that the writing was less than stellar. Though not a big fan of Jack Black, he was most competent as the director whose priorities left much to be desired.It is certainly a worthy addition to anyone's collection.
