Worst movie re-make

[Legzman]

I've noticed that they are re-making about EVERY fuckin movie in the history of hollywood and quite honestly alot of these remakes suck! Which would you say is the worst and actually tarnishes the originals name?
For me it would have to be Hurbie anything with that bitch lindsy lohan in it sucks but that was just terrible!

 

[jumbo_jim]

The new King Kong sucked.

 

[AFA]

The Haunting remake among others.

Hard to believe these "actors" and "director" actually got paid for that garbage.

Just shows what a lack of talent there is out there.

Gone In 60 Seconds

Gone in 60 seconds was a remake? I thought the bad news bears re-make wasn't that good, but im sure there are better examples than that, but I can't think of any at the moment.

"Psycho" and "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre"

Great flicks - Terrible re-makes

Two exceptions were The Thing, also Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Both good remakes, I think better then the originals.

OK, cool I didn't know that. Thanx for the info man.

 

[Legzman]

yea i have the original gone in 60 seconds, but I liked the remake better than the original myself. I wouldn't mind them remaking the blob with todays special effects! Should be good but undoubtably would suck

 

[bravado]

Didn't see it but the WHEN A STRANGER CALLS must suck... The original was scary as hell, back in the 80's...

What does everyone predict of the Superman remake? Most comic book movies aren't very good IMO, with the exception of Xmen and Sin City.

 

[Legzman]

it'll prolly suck just like most re-makes

 

[Tgunz262]

Flight of the Phoenix. :wtf: was with those desert bandits.

I also share BNF's dislike for Giovanni Ribisi. (He was in it.)

 

[poggy]

This is all you need to say on this one...

All of them!

Why they have to do a re-make is beyond me.

 

[thesafestplace]

There's only one answer to this question surely: the remake of The Italian Job!!

Why the fuck anyone would want to alter such an awesome and iconic film in the first place is anyone's guess, but then they go and make it again and DON'T EVEN SET IT IN ITALY!!!!!!

"Psycho" and "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre"

Great flicks - Terrible re-makes

agreed psycho was horrendous

 

[Civickiller80]

Psycho gets my vote WTF were they thinking to remake that movie....actually one remake I'd like to see is the Good the Bad and The Ugly...

 

[georges]

vanishing point2 which was far worse than the original 1971 movie.

Right the reason why no film should be re-made is because of this. The original will always be better because it's the one that puts the story into your head. The re-make will there for always be pale in comparison to it.

Example Civickiller says he'd like to see a re-make of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. If they did once he saw it he'd be very disappointed because he already knew the story. Not only that, the way Clint Eastwood and the other actors put in such a commanding performance in it. No matter what they did with the re-make, a allstar cast of the finest actors, 100's of millions of dollars spent on it, it would still be a poor re-make.

So this is why all re-makes are bad.
