Actually, I just find it odd that one criticizes a movie made from a classic story for elements that are cliche...when it is one of the very stories that helped establish those elements in western pulp/Sci-Fi.
The plot may be "formulaic" but as one of the sources of the formula, I'm not going to criticize it on those grounds.
