I think "not worth all the hype™" can be pulled out here.
I didn't think it was crap, just not as compelling as it could have been, with the cast and material at it's disposal.
I actually thought Alfredson's Let The Right One In was also not particularly substantial either. Sometimes looking classy and having a 'European' sensibility and flair to your direction holds sway over critics too easily.
I've never seen the original TV series. I can't recall them repeating it any time recently. Alec Guinness is one of the greatest screen actors ever though, so I'll get round to seeing it eventually.
Edit- (this reply is to the post you replied to, calling it crap)
Tinker Tailor is the best new film since There Will be Blood. I` respect your opinion but you're wrong.
