    The Day The Earth Stood Still (remake)

    Just got back from seeing this.

    Easily the worst movie of the year for many reasons. What bad acting from almost every person in the movie...including Kathy Bates.

    Horrible story. This attempt at re-imagining the original falls flat on it's face.

    The script was laughable. Terrible writing.

    Only thing that was decent were some of the special FX...which doesn't even include GORT...the robot. CGI GORT pales in comparrison to the original if you ask me.

    K R was very wooden. No personality.

    Man was this bad...I'd go as far as saying this is one of the worst movies I've ever seen...definitely at the top of my list for the worst remake ever.

    Wait for the DVD or cable.

    Was somewhat interested in seeing this but after reading your lil review guess i'll pass.Can't help but picture Keanu saying party on and excellent in the robot tone he uses in this film.

    That's a shame. I really wanted this to be good. It could have been. I going to download the original tonight since I've heard good things about it.

    looked like crap, not surprised you gave it such a poor review. Hopefully this will make people check out the original.

    It was an aight film started out pretty good for most of it but then when it ended it was kinda like that's it??.. The CGI was probably the best thing about the movie and the acting was pretty bad i thought Reeve's was pretty wooden and somewhat bland but when wasn't he to begin with except for Matrix films though. It still was the #1 film this weekend but then again there wasn't really anything else out to see at the movie's made $70 million total worldwide with a budget of $80 million total.6/10

    Just watched it last night. It was alright. Nothing special. Two things really annoyed me in this and that was Will Smith's kid and Gort. Smith's kid was absolutely pathetic, I wanted to bitch slap the kid. I felt Gort wasn't as terrifying as he was in the original which was a big let down.

    Overall I would say skip this and watch the original the story was better and the acting was better.

    Never saw the original but I can say this one was not real good. The ending was terrible. Keanu isn't getting any love on the board but all I can say is if he's in a movie don't expect good acting cause you ain't gonna get it. Overall I was looking forward to this flick and ended up being very disappointed

    I agree that the ending was crap. I was waiting for something more eventful and then blah. Yeah, the kid was kinda annoying and the rest of the acting was pretty lame. Connelly was as good as she could be despite the crappy role. But, I still thought the overall flick was decent. Not worth shelling out cash for the theater though.
