In this case this remake out classed the original. One of the best movies I ever seen.I haven't seen a best female supporting actress since Kim Hunter in a Street Car named Desire or Patty Duke in a Miracle Worker. This is Jane Seymour's Best film. I think she really re invented herself in this role. Action ,Adventure, Drama and comedy all in one. Best picture for 1999 should have been the New Swiss Family Robinson not American Beauty. This picture easily is as good as Titanic or Ben Hur. I think that the scores and selection of actors where better then The Return of the King. What was wrong with the Academy? I am surprise this movie didn't stay #1 at the box office for a couple of months. They need to use this movie at film school for an example of a true creative masterpiece. I really wish they would have considered making this into a franchise, like Lethal weapon or Star Wars. Its in the same caliber.
