OK, this is kind of a reboot so I understood it wasn't going to be the completely same story line. That being said they did follow a similar premise but it just seemed kind of forced. The plausibility of the first movie was oddly enough more realistic with no explanation of the situation other than a montage during the opening title sequence. Some great action scenes but some of it just didn't solidify into a cohesive story. I had some time overcoming Josh from Nick's "Josh and Drake" fame being a action hero. Chris "Thor" Helmsworth plays the troubled Marine but doesn't bring the emotion of Patrick's original portrayal. Overall it just seemed rushed compared to the original. If it had another name and just a few changes it would probably have been more favorable in my mind as a different movie altogether. See it but may just wait until DVD.
