The 1988 version of "A Man For All Seasons" is a far better movie than the earlier version. Heston simply blows Schofield away. In fact, everyone from the "common man", Cromwell, and Norfolk are far better in this version. It is far more suspenseful because you do not spend so much time wincing at the robot-like actors in the earlier version. Never before has a remake so greatly overshadowed its predecessor.
