SCORE:

NOTE:  The truth is that though Poseidon didn't get very high marks I loved the movie.  I watch the original The Poseidon Adventure when I was a young kid and thought the film was pretty awesome- the film had stuck to me since then and so naturally I was very excited when a remake was coming out.  The new film for me, as a fan of the original film, didn't disappoint.  If you've watched the original and liked it you should definitely watch this one as well.
