#bad remakes

Remember when the 2000s had a really bad horror remake era?

Gladiator 2 - Thumbs Down.

A sequel to a movie which didn't need one because the original was complete in itself, ending with a conclusion that satisfied both the requirements of storytelling and audience expectations.

"Casablanca", "A Knight's Tale", "Jaws", "The Hunt for Red October", "Highlander", "Spartacus", "Excalibur", etcetera, etcetera, also didn't need sequels. Despite that, a couple got them. The poor reputation of those sequels proves the point.

@dduane and I haven't seen G-2, and don't intend to see it. Far too many reviews say the same thing - rather than a sequel it's a remake, and a bad one. We'll see it when it turns up on TV, or maybe not even then.

(ETA: i see it's no longer in Irish cinemas anyway, which makes things simpler...)

With a TV, there's always the channel selector * or even the DVD / Blu-Ray player. With a cinema ticket, you're stuck. Even if you leave, they've got your money.

We've got the original (or Proper) "Gladiator" on DVD, we've got a big-screen TV, we've a reliable sound system, and a kitchen for making munchies and chilling beer or wine just ten steps away.

That's entirely sufficient for a good night in.

* There's also a Pause button, because there are occasions (see "beer" and "wine") when that Pause button can play quite an important role in the enjoyment of a film.

Just saying... ;->

Remember that time MTV made American Skins

But it was like a shot for shot rip off with bad actors?

why is it so hard to make a non-shit remake? like the entire plot, script, atmosphere is already written out for you, why is it so hard??

I hate when people are like "we need x animated movie in live action omg uwu" like. no we don't. I genuinely do not understand the desire to see the same story with worse visuals and less charm. do you people not want good new stories instead of something we've already seen that's just a cash grab?

and like I get that some people prefer live action (for some unholy reason) but it really says something that people can't just accept that an animation movie can be good on its own without being remade. I get remaking snow white or something, it's old, it was the first disney ever, whatever. but like tangled and moana? these were made in the 2000s. moana is so incredibly recent and it's great, and no vfx will look as good as the animation (especially with how bad vfx is currently. not blaming the vfx people, more the direction and the assholes not paying and crediting them).

QUESTION!

Am I allowed to say the new Little Mermaid sucks? Is that allowed? No shade on the actors, but this remake is so fucking bad it made me want to slam the door of a meat freezer on my head until I was in a coma
