The Day the Earth Stood Still

I watched the old version earlier this year and loved it.
I watched the new version last night and was wondering why they made this film. This movie was horrible!

Maybe I missed it, but they didn't explain why Keanu Reeves came to Earth. Two hours of my life I will never get back.

Are you smoking a cigar to make up for it??

I watched it the other day, liked the original better. It had cool fx but was confusing.

Original was great.. The remake sucked..

I bought the DVD set just to get a wide screen version of the original so that my upscaling DVD recorder could convert it to HD. Still love the original, hate the remake. I feel the same about War of the Worlds. The version made in the '50's was great, the Tom Cruise version sucked.
