Is Let Me In worth watching if I loved Let the Right One In?
Yes.
But she was naked! And all... articulate!

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
What if I didn't?

Maybe?
As Jilli pointed out, Let Me In is plotted more tightly. No trips to the country for the boy to visit his dad.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Don't bother anyway...it wasn't good. Somber and ponderous and no fun.
Erika, normally I love you. But me and two other people...I don't know who, but I know there aren't many...are going to stand over here in the "Actually, I liked Superman Returns" corner and frown disapprovingly.
I don't know who Idris Elba is, and I know this isn't much, but Tyler Perry wasn't bad for his four lines in Star Trek the Star Trek. For what that's worth.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I remember that I enjoyed Superman Returns when I saw it but right now I can't point to why and I know if I try to rewatch it (post Pilgrim & Chuck) it'll just be funny.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
MiracleMan, your entire post is heathen heresy.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
MM, I thought Tyler Perry was only merely better than a cardboard cutout for those lines.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
I hoped I would like it...in theory, the idea to grow the franchise for more ambiguous times seemed like an excellent idea(and there were times when the Reeve/Donner version could almost be too much like a Hugh Grant romcom character, looking at those movies now) But I don't think the actual movie worked, though I had a sad about it. I've never seen Tyler Perry in anything but comedies. MM, Idris Elba was Stringer from The Wire, which is awesome, and Charles from The Office, which was also awesome, but quite a lot less because The Office keeps running jokes running longer than they ought to.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
funniest Internet remark I've seen about the Elba/Perry thing:
That’s like replacing Meryl Streep with Tara Reid
Indeed.
