As a huge fan of the original movies, like the millions of others I was very sceptical about this reboot and whether it would stay true to the formula. It does to an extent, but it also adds in a lot more. Remember that the whole reason for this movie was to open it up to a whole new generation and audience, and I think it has done that well. Younger kids will really enjoy it. Sure the plot is silly, and the humour is a bit mundane and forced at times, but despite all of this I enjoyed the movie and it was just a good bit of fun to watch, original movie sentiments aside.
It was a big flop at the box office so only time will tell if any planned sequels come to light. If not, then it's no big deal. The franchise has had a great run. If so, then I'll watch them and try to remain open minded. So my advice is: watch this with an open mind, and you'll have a good time.
