CNN and USA TODAY both recommend it, as well. Even if they hadn't--or anyone else for that matter--I still plan to see it. To me, anything Spielberg makes is worth seeing, which is more than I can say for some other directors, who IMO make consistent junk or, on the flip side, are to me overrated. (And get less criticism for it than Spieberg does.) This is one of the few remakes I will see, because for the most part, they're lousy, are those based on TV shows. End of soapbox.
