'THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL'-2008 remake with Keanu Reeves, Jennifer Connelly :
There should be a law against making remakes of any movie. I liked Jennifer Connelly and the color film but
just about everything else in this film I watched on a DVD yesterday was not as good as the original movie.
The robot that arrives with Klatuu is pretty cool looking but the spaceship: big color changing spheres are
not as exciting as the silver flying saucer in the first movie. Also the robot never gets much screen time and
the ending in the 2008 film is weird. I read the story that the first movie is taken from and IMO the movie
was much better than the dull and unexciting story.
