It isn’t really a remake of the first film, it is much more another film based on the same book.
Personally I thought it was a better adaptation, the old one steered a bit away from the way that the girl. Is the main character, which makes the story more interesting and less of a straight western.
Stylistically it felt to me like it had a lot in common with the leoni westerns, some of the people I went withholding felt it was a bit slow, I think they’d hate Once Upon A Time in the West (obviously the best western ever)
The book is brilliant by the way. Well worth a read.
