I forgot to mention the decapitation scene….I literally LAUGHED OUT LOUD at it….it reminded me of something out of a “Monty Python” film.

I thought it was better than the original. The only thing I didn’t like was casting Julia Stiles as Damien’s mother – that was…just stupid.
Mia Farrow was good enough I thought, not as half as creepy as the nanny from the original that’s for sure.

Blah, I still can’t get over seeing Julia Stiles as the mother..lol..she looks 15! O_o

Julia Stiles looks 15….that is a definite fact.

No Ave Satani theme? I was hoping they would use the Gregorian cover of it for the new movie.

Yeah, a guest –

Stepping into Jerry Goldsmith’s shoes would be a huge task for any film composer. So far, I’ve only heard bad things about the new musical score – it’s been called not scary and mediocre. I like to see new music for new movies, but in this case maybe Jerry’s original themes should have been used. Apparently that’s what’s with the new Superman movie – the new composer is using John Williams’ original themes for the new movie.

i am of the same opinion, you are never gonna beat the origianl for chills. for starters it did,nt have the creepy score of the original, although there were a couple of hints of it in the film if you were paying attention, and as for the nanny not even close to the menace of the original mrs baylock, but i did think the dream sequences were good!

The film was OK, but the original is better… though I still think the casting of Damien was perfect (and better than the original Damien).

[AlienPubicHair]

I thought the dream sequences were kinda..lame, but that’s just me. They were too predictable and teeny bopper-ish IMO

I did not think I would see a remake of a classic horror worse than Bay’s “Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2003” so soon. I did now, with this year’s “0men” – “0” being far too high of a rating for this miserable antifilm.

woah… The Omen remake WASN’T bad. Maybe in YOUR opinion it was bad, but you didn’t SEE a bad movie – you THOUGHT it was bad 😉 just like with TCM remake…

[Justin]

A bit of smarterchild there diego? :p He SAW a bad film, in his opinion.. just like I did. 😀

[AlienPubicHair]

You’re so funny Justy 😛 nah.. you’re the one in love with the bot 😛

He wasn’t stating an opinion..he was saying the movie was bad – when it wasn’t. A movie just is. It isn’t bad, it isn’t good…some people like it, some don’t (up to them). I think people really need to learn that just coz they don’t like something it doesn’t make it bad.

Sorry, but it pisses me right off 😛

Didn’t dislike the “Omen” remake…it was, afterall a close copy. The leads seemed to young for the roles, like the casting of “Superman Returns”. The Omen I want to see is the goofy tv series pilot about the spirit of Damien possessing people by way of ectoplasmic barf. That’s entertainment!

I only saw this the other week and I really liked it. I agree that Julia Stiles was miscast and just too young. I also agree there was some ‘nicking from other films’ going on. Did anyone make the connection with The Sixth Sense tho? I got it in the first half hour so kinda ruined the rest of the film with the obvious sign posts. Not bad for a remake tho. And sorry, but I quite liked the TCM remakes!

[kokumo]

I was surprised at how gruesome the TCM remake was…a lot of mainstream pics have been pulling away from graphic goreover the past decade. Even the 3 & 4th installments of TCM were light on genuine chainsaw action. TCM remake scored points with me just for having the guts to show a few amputative moments.
