First off: I am well aware that the film is trying to do something different. Kudos to them for that.
Having said that, I could not help thinking of the original. Because...
- The original was timeless. This was immediately dated. Which could be interesting if they actually did stuff with it. Now it's mostly background noise.
- The original was captivating and lead you into this dream like sphere. This is just dull. Maybe it works for this generation, but as far as I am concerned, you do not build up tension with dream sequences that are basically just a cocktail of ADD and what the hell.
- Goblin's soundtrack added something to the atmosphere. As much as I enjoy Radiohead, this is just noodling.
- This may just be me, but I think modern dance is mostly pretentious drivel.
- Dakota Johnson had two or three moments that showed potential that were ruined by her poor acting. And that look on her face... How can you be invested who has the same kind of dumb look like Wahlberg just before he says "What? Nooo!"
Oh yeah, and the Rote Armee Fraktion as some sort of patsy for witchcraft? Fuck you in the ear, movie.
