I see what you mean.

But I must disagree about that replica comment. Granted, the films are not replicas but I would argue that exact replicas (or at least as near to exact as atomically possible) are just as good as the originals. But that's a whole different debate (and I'm obviously just trying to be difficult! )

A relevant question which arises is this: Is ignorance bliss? (In the case of the films, of course!) I mean, we can talk about how out of character some of the humour is, but there is an equally valid criticism of some of the humour in the films: that it is just plain unfunny. Thoughts?
