THAT WAS FUN!!!
I watched the original in 1974 at the drive-in theater when I was only 16 and it scared the living crap out of me. To this day I still hate the sound of chainsaws! No, seriously, I do. I was anxious to see what they could do with this movie. I'll say this - never in a million years did I ever think I'd actually cheer for Leatherface, but I did. What kind of person does that make me? I actually felt a little sorry for him. Only a very, very little...but a little, nontheless. This movie gives you a bit of backstory on him. And I did like that it begins with shots from the original movie. It was really cool to see the cameo appearances by actors and actresses from the original movie. If you pay close attention, the original Leatherface (Gunnar Hansen) is actually in this movie (minus the leather face). And the original surviving girl is also in it. AND Clint Eastwood's son, Scott, is in it, too. It was a good remake. The 3D was okay. It would've been just as good with or without it.
