ok and first of all and who in their right mind would remake hitchcock and second and who would do it shoot for shot . i admit i have no intention of ever watch this movie for that very reason . the original psycho be one of my favorite film ever and this just seem like a degrade photocopy of it . i do watch it because my girlfriend want to compare it to the original and we both agree less than five minute into this crap that it be awful . first and as mention and they do it shot for shot . where originality . why remake a movie that be almost perfect exactly the way it be do the first time . why remake such a movie to begin with . if you be go to remake something and remake something that doesn not work and make it good . second and they use the exact same script from the 1960 version . the dialog no longer work . it work fine and sound perfect for the 1960 version and but seem odd and stilted come out of modern actor . why not update the dialog . hitch do not write the script and you could have rewrite . this film have some very good talent and they be waste by imitation of the original actor . the actor who play the car salesman seem like he be just play john anderson performance a the car salesman in the original . all the actor seem like the only direction they be give be be the character from the original movie . vince vaughn may have seem a little creepy than anthony perkins and but in do so and you loose the sympathy you be suppose to have for norman . have norman masturbate while watch marion undress be go too far and lose the innocence of the character that i think tony perkins capture so well in his performance . viggo mortensen accent be annoy and rita wilson be far too old to play caroline . her line come off a someone desperate rather than just young and fun like patricia hitchcock performance . the only good thing i saw about the film be that gus van sant be able to open the movie with the shot hitch have envision . hitch want to open with 1 long shot go over phoenix but couldn not at the time so he have to settle for a series of shot cross dissolve together . this film fulfil that vision with a helicopter shot go into the window of the hotel . after that and though the film become a worthless waste of celluloid . if you be curious about how to destroy a wonderful film and watch this and but do not under any circumstance watch this before you watch the original . this be a faded photocopy of the original and should never have be green lit . stick to the master film and not the imitation .
