“This reboot is a brutally unwavering journey that has kept me tense in my chair.” (FilmFreak)
“This new version bears the exact same name as the original franchise, choosing to create a messy film that becomes unpredictably bizarre.” (Bloody-disgusting)
“This film struggles to balance all of its storylines while trying to address social issues and individual values, but the end result is an interesting journey that leaves room for new sequels.” (IGN Movies)
“This reboot takes the franchise in the right direction.” (The only criticism)
“If the screenplay weren’t overloaded with a complicated narrative that didn’t arouse the slightest interest, this one would probably become one of my favorites. But instead, they took the wrong direction and cut out the funny opening scenes… ”(Pajiba)
