It's a movie that told it's story through action, not dialogue -- exactly the way movies did before they had the luxury of sound. So it's more pure cinema than you give it credit for. Characters yapping for two hours don't make a good movie.

That's just it though, I don't think the effectively told a good story through action. Given that I've seen the originals, it should have been easy for me to follow along, but I was left with too many unanswered questions with the back story. For me it felt like 2 hours of the continuation of the train scene from Thunder Dome. It never really felt like a reboot. The actors all did a fine job though.
