question...

wow it’s been a while since i posted here - i've been super busy w/ grad school, work, life, etc. still that's no excuse and i don't intend many of you here recognize me, accept for the ones that have been on for awhile.

anyway... was V the only one to view the movie so far? and if so this question is for him.

i've been hearing a lot about this movie from people i know in the industry and the two overall complaints seem to be that one, it lacks the original's suspense and two, in the way zombie displays the myer's back story he draws sympathy towards him and makes him less of the creepy supernatural boogieman that he was in the original. people vilified gus van sant for his "to the tee" remake of psycho b/c he didn't add anything to the original, so i guess my question is that in taking away these two original elements and making it more brutal does zombie ruin the film or just disrespect the original?
