How Is The New Omen?

In my opinion, it was almost a exact duplicate of the original with different actors. I got it with the Omen Collection. Now that I've watched it, doubt it'll ever get watched again.

I didn't even bother with the newer Omen movie. The original The Omen movie is such a incredible classic that it doesn't need to be duplicated , so therefore I didn't even give it the time of day.

It was alright. I liked Liev Schreiber in it.

I also got it with The Omen Collection.

It was ok, but even though it's really, really similar, the old one's better. To me the kid is creepier in the old one and so is his nanny.

not that good, but the original wasn't all that great to begin with.

Liev was the best thing about the new one. However, Peck still did it better.

I enjoyed it, but the original will get rewatched way before the remake.
