2 stars In theory a good idea. Why not bring the production quality up to scratch. In practice, it does not work. Part of the attraction of the original was its almost amateurish and niaeve feel. As has been pointed out this version lacks the soul and spirir of the original, and altrhough it is good that it is broken down ionto suites, I would have prefered that he did that to the original. Oh, and by the way, John Cleese is an atrocious MC< and takes away the mystery and forboding from the original in a way that is unnesessary and and disrespectfull. Stick wit the original, or at least the remastered versions.
