No but rewatched the original last night.

I am struggling to think that the updated version can do it justice.

McQueen and Hoffman brilliant.

I've heard it's not too bad but struggle with the idea of watching it as the original is one of my favourite films and I suspect I may spend much of it making comparisons which would detract from any enjoyment of it

I haven't seen it but why remake a classic, what purpose does that serve?

Lack of new decent scripts I imagine

In the middle

I watched most of it when channel flicking one night, honestly it’s not a patch on the original, it didn’t feel quite so bleak and tbh you can’t outshine Steve & Dustin

Not seen the original but remember finding the book at a rented holiday cottage as a teenager and not being able to put it down.

Brighton - even Hove!

The book was good. I last saw the Hoffman film many years ago and it was good.

The song by Editors is rather good too.

Mr"

If you never watch another film make sure you watch the original beforehand - it's up there with the best

I’ve seen both. The remake, if you haven’t seen the original, is a good film but the original will always win this one for me.
