Movie Remakes that really suck compared to the originals - Page 3

All of them

When A Stranger Calls. The whole point of the original was you didn't know where the call was coming from. Then they did a remake where the trailer told the audience where the call was coming from.
What was the freaking point?

Oh, and whatever happened to the reported Harvery remake? That might make me torch Hollywood.

One more remake that's better than the original:

The Lindsay Lohan Parent Trap.

Oh, dear heavens no. You are clearly mental.

And don't you dare say anything about the Freaky Friday remakes ...

The Judy Garland Wizard of Oz was better than the earlier versions.

I just don't see eye-to-eye with remaking any art... there are too many good original writers out there.
It is slack and pathetic.

I really liked "Man On Fire," with Denzel Washington, but I haven't seen the original.

I thought that "El Mariachi" was much better than "Desperado." Desperado seems more of a remake than a sequel, to me.

I thought the Coppola Dracula was not as good as most of the others, despite the special effects. But you're right, Dracula does hold up a lot better in remakes than a lot of movies ... I love the Christopher Lee versions, and the Frank Langella version ... even the Jack Palance Made-for-TV Dracula had it's moments.

I agree with you on the Christopher Lee & Frank Langella - something about their eyes - scary

I have doubts about Keanu Reeves playing Klaatu.

Oh no ... someone please stop them. That's one of my favoritest movies.

Terrorists need to blow up Hollywood. If they could also destroy all of the prints of the Will Smith remake of The Omega Man I would appreciate it.

Has anyone seen the new Halloween? I liked House of 1000 Corpses.

And why are they releasing it now?
