Well, of course decades later, the special effects are much better, and if they had gone to the original source and done a new treatment, that would be one thing - but they followed the first movie's story line very closely, only with pointless changes that weakened both the suspense and the logic. I guess they wanted to make the female characters stronger, and maximize screen time for the high-dollar female actors. And really? Colin Farrel as a super spy? Overall fail.
