Well it can't top the original, and I don't see the need for a remake, at least not with what they did with it. I appreciate the focus on the character relationship between Alex Murphy and his wife and the action and fx are cool. But even though they try to update the satire, with Sam Jackson as a celebrity news commentator, they really miss the mark there. For me, that (plus the excessive gore and great Phil Tippet fx) was the main draw of the original.
Gary Oldman and Michael Keaton are always fun to watch and they have a small handful of scenes together which is great.There's some cool stuff here but without the great satire, or the wondrous gore.
