Redundant and unnecessary.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

This movie wasn't a masterpiece, but it wasn't bad. I don't like it as a horror. It's not a very scary one, and the 'scary' parts were mostly gore and I didn't find it scary at all. I must say that the drama part was really good. You could feel sorry for the character and expirience the pain she did a little bit. It was also good as a psychological story. The movie shows us manny trials of a teen girl's life in an unusual and dark way. As she begins to take part in scenarios she was kept away from her whole life changes a lot. She was never dumb and crazy, but she seemed to be because of her mother being abusive and crazy. As she discovers life and that she can be happy and is strong she starts acting like she always wanted to and she does well. When it's all taken away from her in a short time after she finally gets it she becomes crazy and just breaks. It's not the best horror and nothing out of ordinary, but it shows us in a really fresh and extrem way a really harsh reality of teenagers. Sorry for my english. I'm not a native speaker.

It's alright, not too much to say really. The acting is okay, Chloe (the woman who plays Carrie) does a pretty good job. The let down is the direction, some pretty "made for DVD bargain bucket" scenes in this. The CGI is just, well, Nintendo 64, and they love to put a lot of it in. The bucket of blood scene is over done, literally replayed from six angles and by the third it's already boring.

Chloe Grace Moretz isn't as good an actress as Sissy Spacek. Most of the acting by the supporting cast is inferior to that of their counterparts in the original. This isn't as good as the original film, but it's better than most remakes.There are some ways in which this is an improvement on the original. Julianne Moore is excellent, playing the protagonist's mother. They corrected the volleyball scene by having it played in the swimming pool - as opposed to (dangerously) on concrete in the original. They removed the ridiculous line towards the end of the original when Sue's mother said that Sue was so young that she'd forget about the events at prom.

Have you seen it? No? There is likely a very good reason for that...it stinks.Like nearly ALL the endless remakes and reboots that have been plaguing movie goers for the past decade or so....all this is, is a heartless version of the original.It has no heart.It has no soul.It is a retelling of a film that we all love and cherish...and it adds nothing to the story. It improves nothing but the special effects--which held up very well over time--and in some cases belittles the fans of the original...particularly in the fact that they remade the movie at all, without adding anything clever to it.Like so many other remakes it is a hallow shell of the original.
