I personnaly liked that film quite a lot...not as much as the original, mainly because of the CGI and the main actress, but I thought Julianne Moore was excellent and brought some complexity to the all story!<br />Then I'm wondering, which one did you prefer? this remake or the 2002 version (www.horroronscreen.com/review/carrie-tv-version-2002/)Raoulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14839344367604200535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8829872901342037686.post-71325822324059393602013-10-28T15:38:35.220-07:002013-10-28T15:38:35.220-07:00Thanks!

I'm not automatically predisposed to dislike remakes, either, but the ones that either equal or improve upon the originals are truly few and far between. Generally, if a movie is deemed worthy of a remake that usually means the first one was already pretty damn good itself.Brandon Earlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04428583919973903171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8829872901342037686.post-54932240583622947172013-10-27T07:24:02.076-07:002013-10-27T07:24:02.076-07:00Totally agree with you man, I really wanted to lik...Totally agree with you man, I really wanted to like this film and Chloe Grace Moretz but she's miscast and the whole thing just feels pointless.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999677394326327996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8829872901342037686.post-56476294395175621782013-10-27T07:16:31.039-07:002013-10-27T07:16:31.039-07:00I kind of figured that this one would be nothing m...I kind of figured that this one would be nothing more than a modernized version of the original Carrie, and then some changes here and there for the sake of it being "updated."<br /><br />I'm more than likely going to pass on it.

Based on what I've seen, marketing wise, even that TV movie they made years ago with Angela Bettis seems better than this.TEOShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05665899455536414080noreply@blogger.com
