Could someone put (remake) after the movie title for me?

It's only a matter of time before Bada sees the original and starts a thread on it.

I've already seen the original. It was much better than this. I just watched this and I was extremely disappointed. It had a great cast, but the whole just didn’t seem to equal the sum of the parts. I remember Willie Stark’s relationships with the other characters being much more interesting in the original. I’m not sure if it was Penn or just the way it was written.
