One of my homeboys said it was wack, and he's a huge Spike Lee fan, and a movie fan in general. I'm gonna check it out anyway though. :manny:

:whoa:

Let's not get crazy, the original is a classic.

He didn't say it was wack compared to the original though, he just said some of the story choices didn't make much sense in the Spike Lee version. Which would be Mark Protosevich, who wrote the screen play.

fukk this movie :pacspit:

Let me just say this...if you've seen the original one, you will HATE this shyt..every part of it..ESPECIALLY if you want to see how they revealed "The Twist"

As soon as they revealed that he had a daughter at the BEGINNING of the movie it fukks the whole twist up. In the original version you found out about his daughter the same time he did when the big reveal came..

Everything from the acting, to the dialogue..EVERYTHING...

I'm not even gonna blame Spike Lee cuz u can just tell he just did this movie for a check..he most likely had little to no creative input and just did what the studio told him to do. He probably used that check to begin finance on that movie he had Kickstarter help him out with..

I knew this dude had no passion for this movie because while he was filming for the movie he was tweeting and out promoting that Michael Jackson documentary. Even in his interview you can tell he could careless about this film...

Hollywood should have just left this movie alone..them Koreans know how to make movies..:wow:
