The last time I felt that betrayed was when I found out that my long time (insert curse words here) boyfriend was cheating on me.
What’s up with this movie? Doesn’t Hollywood know that when you touch a classic like "The Time Machine" by H.G. Wells you better make triple sure it rocks the audience’s world? All that rocked for me was my upset stomach while I was watching this crappy piece of what they call a movie. I call it a waste of my time.

While Guy Pierce is one of the most handsome actors around (loved him in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, L.A. Confidential and most recently in my favorite film of last year, Memento) not even he of the chiseled bones and flexed acting muscles had a chance to save this celluloid piece of a nuisance.

It starts ok, the time machine is beautiful to look at, what more can I say. Not much.

Once Pierce takes off to a new time zone (and yes for a brief moment they showed one of my favorite scenes from the old version, the changing fashions on the mannequins in the window) the movie starts to fall apart. The Blade Runner like sets from his in between stops felt imitated and the beehive homes of the new world felt, while lovely to look at, out of place and contrived.

Samantha Bumba is one exotic flower and her English is par excellence! Huh???? How can that be? Someone please explain. Did she have a private tutor? How can I get his or her number? My English needs some help.

Once Jeremy Iron’s character showed up the movie lost it completely. Nothing made sense, all seemed forced and "artsy" to me. A doomed sci-fi action flick.

They should have left a good piece alone. I do believe that "The Time Machine" was a good candidate for a remake because of the new special effects we now have, but a good storyline is an absolute must and what was wrong with the first one?

I take the old "Time Machine" with it’s cheesy and kitschy effects anytime. Do not go near this one, folks.
