i wasn't sure what to expect (hadn't read other reviews before - which was possibly a good thing....)

This still has it's charm (think that's still down to the the leads and the way it's shot tbf!). So much of the detail is lost and the key plot of "destiny" being missed out completely somewhat overshadows the missing yoyo-ing of emotions or the eccentricities of the series plot lines. As for the plot holes with story continuity errors, the less said about the gaping chasm of the rings ..... the better.
It's worth a watch as it's still a romantic idea just not the romantic ideal and that makes it a poor substitute. But i kinda don't get what the objective was when not re-shooting some of the scenes? Any clues?
As a side note musically, it's still awesome IMO.
