No ! Not worth it.... they could have got the original cast back from the 90s version at least it's not like any of them were doing much.... I definitely would have wanted to see it than. It's a dull boring plot with a lot of the original characters dead and Mary is not even a main character really well by word of mouth she is but not on screen.
