The whole Sam Neil thing was particularly distressing to me in terms of sheer wtf-ery--I mean, seriously, we're going to set this guy up as the villain, only to...take that away at the end? And the daughter thing was ridiculous. Furthermore, I found the scene where Edward's brother turns her incredibly disturbing, insofar as it felt like another lame moment in male movie-making history of 'hey, we need to make this scene dramatic!

I'd be terrified at the idea of a remake. Seriously has any good come of a remake? I mean we have a few exceptions but for every The Thing we get The Day the Earth Stood Still and I am Legend.
