I read this idiot's BS about the script being about us in Iraq a few weeks ago and simply put it out of my mind while I watched. As a huge fan of the original, I have to admit this one is far superior--it's closer to the book, the FX are great, and I was just drawn into the movie.
I don't go to movies for the fool moviemakers's political "thoughts" since I assume they're all libs, anyway. But the movie itself was terrific.
Awwwww shoot!...There went my day. ;o)
I will have to wait for the DVD. Because I never, but never go to the movies anymore. Thanks, Darkwolf377, I will give it try.
