An adaptation that will simply be forgotten sooner rather than later. If you've never read the original book on which this movie is loosely based, it's still a relatively ok movie. But there is the book and the magnificent adaptation of the 80s, so this is just a botch. Too many things from the book never happened in this movie, too many memorable scenes from the book and even from the later 80's adaptation here never happened.
They have the perfect example of how to make a great adaptation with the 1984 movie, and they got carried away and ended up doing this "thing". A big disappointment.
