Worth watching
This American remit of the original 1964 film pales to comparison. The film had much to live up to, and acting.
Balathzar Getty is average, and very stayed. The character building is below par with the book and the original film. This is essential to the story as it is how these individuals respond to the situation which gives in part the eeriness, despair, sorrow and contempt. Jack is annoying, Simon is inanimate, and the one person who shines is Piggy. That little fellow is really good, and you sympathise with him as the story intends.
It is worth watching, but read the book it is far better, and the original still does not convey the true sense of meaning of William Goldings thoughts about humanity or lack there of....
Lord of the Flies
The second adaptation of the classic William Golding novel has a group of young US cadets finding themselves stranded on a remote island after their plane crashes. Quickly their mini-society descends into conflict and violence. While it attempts to throw light on the plight of civilization as whole, this unfocused film does so with little finesse. When in the end Lord of the Flies adds up to little more than the not very involving adventures of a bunch of uninteresting children, it is largely owing to a bunch of uncharismatic performances. Peter Brook's earlier version is far superior, though neither film does justice to the book.
