Absolutely agree, there's no upside in remaking it, only downside. Funny how it hasn't dated, still gets every laugh. Only positive is the Christmas documentary they made about it using this new cast was very enjoyable.

It's always interesting to hear opinions and read how they differ. I will wait until it comes out on DVD which I can always give as a present to a nephew if I don't like it, which seems quite likely. Toby Jones as Capt Mainwaring, what an insult!!!

On paper, very good casting, but it will be hard to capture the feel of the original. I just hope they have tried to keep true to the original characters, and don't over-Hollywood it. Looking forward to it, but I can't imagine it will ever be able to match the original.

I don't think it looks too bad.

I will probably pop along to see it with a couple of mates, I think it will just be a case of trying to think of it in its own right rather than in comparison to the original which, even as a kid in the 90's, I absolutely loved

Definitely a Kodi jobbie. Can't imagine bothering with the cinema for this.

It managed 2 stars in The Times review today, I think Mark Kermode will shred it Friday.

Looks good to me. 2 stars in the Times though, doesn't sound good. Maybe the plot is a bit thin.
