watch the original. its far superior.
I thought it was good and complimented the old one quite well.
He didnt even take Samuels characters teeth out. They didnt show him callous his fists, which were an important part of his fighting.

The ending was anticlimactic and rushed. The original had way more emotion.

watch the original 1st.

Im sure they considered it and decided not too. I think it was better this because because it made the movie feel new.


The fight scene was better too in some ways.....not every way though.


The part where he beat up the football players was wack though.

That was actually the best fight scene in the movie. :mindblown:

You must like your movies tame, and not twisted.

Maybe from an entertainment standpoint but It wasn't realistic from a writing standpoint. He might as well have pulled out of a gun.
The funny thing about that, is Spike added the sequence because its not in the OG. lol

I know that was the only thing I didnt like in the movie........just didnt seem realistic. Other than that it was a good watch and kept me excited to the end.
have you watched the OG?

have you seen a move called The Experiment? The original german Das Experiment?
