Review of The Manchurian Candidate (1962) by Paul M — 12 Jan 2009
I really enjoyed this, but can't help but compare it to the remake, which I saw a few weeks ago...The problem with a lot of older movies is how slow they develop. Like the original Ocean's Eleven, the first half is terribly dry.
This wasn't that bad, but the second half was considerably better than the first. So I have to say I preferred the remake because it had more twists and turns, and it was good throughout. But, seeing the remake first kind of ruined the original for me because I already knew what was roughly happening.
..It is definitely worth seeing though.
