yeah the old don was amazing and i think the ppl who had seen the old don are the critics as they knew what ws coming during the first half.
i went to see the film and thought it was quite good. no not as good as the origina and i thought the action sequences dragged out a bit but 3 hours is a long time and i wasnt bored once as the twists keep you hooked.
i thought srk was a good don, in the originl the real on isnt characterised as well and i think the over the top acting suited the role i mean he is supposed to be the don so he has to be clever and arrogant to have gotten where he was and usually murderers arent the type who have love stories if they choose to be the bad guy.
i didnt think kareena was v good though she did look nice. i didnt think priyanka was that good and arjun rampal was not convincing at all.
i thought boman irani ws good. you cant compare him to the other cop as tht one was good and boman was playing a villain. also the group of villains werent v good and the group in the original film were better.
i think the film could have been tighter paced though.
