Not as good as the new version

I watched the new version, and then curiously looked for the old version.

how to say? Excluding special effects that seem crude because of its age, the whole movie does not feel as good as the new version.

The first is the rhythm, because there is a fat old lady on the road, the whole escape time is very rich, and the passage is also very spacious, without the sense of urgency of the escape film.

There was indeed a reduction in personnel on the way, but most of the hulls were shaken suddenly for no reason, and they shook a team member...very abruptly...like a lottery.

Particularly prominent is the sheriff’s wife, which makes people feel like she should have left work long ago, but she added drama to herself and was finally pushed off the bridge by the unbearable director...

Although the fat old lady has a little plot, she also suffered a heart attack after swimming ashore? ? ? In the first half an hour to pave the way for the character, why didn't you mention this heart disease?

The plot setting of the ship doctor and a group of people in the middle of the journey is even more inexplicable. The pastor said a word and didn't give much explanation, letting the ship doctor and his party go to the bow of the ship where there was no exit. Where did the patience to persuade people to go in the banquet hall at the beginning? When the ship doctor saw the survivors, they walked toward the bow without saying a few words. how? Are these two dozen people who followed the ship doctor actually followed when they saw people alive?

When the people who were still alive were rescued, they also mentioned that there was no survivor at the bow of the ship, and that they would be dead if they didn't listen to the pastor's words? This kind of plot is enough to come to the banquet hall once, and it is a bit deliberate to send it to the ship doctor halfway... and it seems a little cautious...
