This was one of the more watchable remakes that we've been bombarded with over the last couple of years. It was pretty much a straight remake with some little tweaks here and there. It looked a lot sleeker than the orginal obviously and the action scenes were great. The only thing that was off to me about the movie was that the movie seemed like present day-ish as opposed to in the future where the first one was clearly a "futuristic" movie. Not sure if that makes sense or not.
I'd recommend anyone interested in seeing this to go ahead and check it out. It's not an insult or downright awful like most other remakes have been. It's a good watch and is exactly the type of movie that it advertises to be.
