I enjoyed it, particularly Tim Roth who IMHO was the best thing about the movie. His being in it is why I rented it. The ending was cool and, thankfully, nobody spoiled it for me. One thing creeped me out, though, and that was the females. Just too damn attractive, didn't you think?

I thought Burton played it safe with this one. Sets are very important to him and I'd have liked to have seen him do something with the Flintstone-y look of the original or go the other extreme and give them vehicles and a bit more technology. I swear there were times I expected to see Gilligan in some scenes.

All things considered it was okay. I'll look at it again but not right away.
