Worst movie remakes....

[Ron M.]

Whether a film made from a classic film, or a film based on a television series, there are a lot to choose from. My choices are:

Lost In Space--stinkeroo.
The Avengers--British T.V. show made into horrible film
War of the Worlds--Gene Barry Vs. Tom Cruise...not much to say
Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes--put down that camera, you darned, stinking director...
Tim Burton's The Time Machine.....
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory...Gene Wilder, hilarious. As for Johnny Depp...Michael Jackson's twin brother?

Manchurian Candidate

all the "Walking Tall" remakes

 

[THE PILGRIM]

Red Dawn.
And of course - Stage Coach, that's sacred ground to us Western Fans.
Billy the non-Lefted Kid. Enough already!
I do like the different points of views of Tombstone, OK Corral.
I don't always actually like the movies that much, but I like the different viewpoints.

El Dorado, remake of Rio Bravo. Such a waste...

Also, every Godzilla movie after the original.

True Grit. Refuse to watch it.

Oh, you meant to write "The Day the Leading Actor Stood Still." Seen more acting ability from a store mannequin...

The day the earth stood still

I posted on another forum that in the movie, Keanu Reeves looked like he was on Valium. Someone replied, "In that movie, Keanu Reeves IS Valium."

I've only seen a few moments of it here and there. That's enough to deter me from watching the whole thing.

On the other hand, I'll watch the original straight through, virtually every time it's shown on TCM at a decent hour.

From what I've seen and heard, Bela Lugosi was more animated in "Plan 9 From Outer Space" AFTER he died.

War of the Worlds--Gene Barry Vs. Tom Cruise...not much to say

While it can't hold a candle to the original, I was astonished when I didn't hate Tom Cruise in it.

3:10 to Yuma - the remake was horrible!

I didn't hate him in it....I thought that Gene Barry as a scientist who was working to save the planet from extinction was more believable in the premise of the story. Tom Cruise's character was not instrumental in defeating the Martians.

The cast was top-notch in that film. Patricia Neal was under-rated as an actress. Check out the film "A Face in the Crowd". Andy Griffith deserved the oscar for his portrayal of Lonesome Rhodes. You will never think of him as Andy Taylor from Mayberry after that. And that was filmed in 1957. Nothing changes.

I didn't bother to watch the remake of Point Break. It will never be anywhere near the original.

Bundle of Joy. Ginger Rogers and David Niven were great in Bachelor Mother, but for the Debbie Reynolds remake she wanted her husband, Eddie Fisher, as her co-star. And since Eddie was a singer, not an actor, they made it a musical. Pee Yuu.

remake

Jaws 3

Should mention Star Trek 5....but not in mixed company. Shatner directed, actors roles neglected. P--u.

True Grit. Refuse to watch it.

So you didn't actually see it!
