Worst Movie re-makes. . .what's your take on it?

[ctc]

>As remakes go, the worst thing I have ever seen is Rollerball. The original's story, about corporate America gone wild, works even better today than it did then.

I forgot about that one! Talk about missing the point!

>the remake of Pyscho was THE WORST.

It's definitely in the contending; but I think it wins for worst idea. So... you're gonna remake the original frame by frame?!?!? WHY BOTHER?!?!?! It's like saying "y'know; the ORIGINAL was ALMOST perfect. If only there was some masturbation in it...."

>I prefer the remake "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" to the original "Willy Wonka".

Hmmmm.... I really didn't MIND it; but Willy was a little too Michael Jackson for me. Added a uncomfortable bit of creepy.

Yeah.... Rollerball..... NEEDS to be on the list.

Just think what'll be remade twenty years from now. "Talladega Nights was such a deep film, with so much potential. That's why we decided to make it gritty action/drama."

*shudder*

i want more apes

I agree 100%. Its so sad what they could have done with the POTA movies, yet they destroyed the remake. I say they start all over like they did with Hulk.

The worst remake in the history of films is the god awful remake of PLANET OF THE APES by Tim Burton

I know this is a "worst remake" thread...but I can think of a good one! I thought "I Am Legend" was an excellent remake of "The Omega Man"!

[Steeler80]

My top two have already been mentioned.

Planet of the Apes and Godzilla (with Matthew Broderick).

I personally thought Get Smart was much better than I expected.

I haven't seen it, Mainly because i really like the orinigal, So i'm not to excited about seeing a remake of it

[jemboy2004]

Well I liked POTA. It's not as good as the original but I liked it enough. I think to say it's the worst is letting some really bad one's go by.

Halloween really comes to mind when I seen this question.

PYSCHO! and OMEN just missed all the way. Willy Wonka also stunk.

You guys missed BEWITCHED! with Nicole Kidman. Really Really BAD!!!

Never watched the New Dukes or S & H But it looked too bad for me to even try.

Just looked at TK1 answer and I have to agree the Honeymooners was so BAD! Almost as bad as Bewitched!

Well...I think You should give it a chance...in someways, I like it better than the original(and I'm BIG Heston Fan!). I've also heard...it's much closer the the Book.

[AUSSIE-Rebooted-AMM]

You don't want more time to think about your list Roger?

[Bo8a_Fett]

that was just on the spur of the moment...I didn't even mention the remakes of great korean/japanese horror such as the eye, the grudge, the ring etc.....don't get me started David

[The Bat]

No one mentioned the 1976 Kong yet???

Yeah...that's right up there! But I really liked Jeff Bridges in that Movie....He played His Character well.

[BlackKnight]

Texas Chainsaw Massacre
The Hitcher

I dissagree,.. with both of those remakes. I thought they were Fantastic.

Sean Bean's Hitcher was such a fantastic Character. He really drew you in the film,.. & made you admire his character,.. as well as Hate his Arse. When a Performance can do those things,.. you have something imo.

& Jessica Biel in the TCM remake,.. man was she so Hot.
But that Movie was a great update of the classic version imo too. LeatherFace Ruled.
