Movies That Deserve A Remake

<< < (3/6) > >>

Thomas Edison:
Keeping in mind that art is subjective and opinion varies from person to person, the remake of True Grit was waaaaaay better.

The acting was brilliant as well, Hailee Steinfeld was fantastic and Jeff Bridges was as good as Jeff Bridges always is.

LeeC:
The nostalgic critic did a "Old vs New" between them.  He made compelling arguments on how both were really good but gave the award to the new one because of the bear guy.

Thrillho:
Highlander.

I am aware it is apparently being remade, but that remake will suck a massive dick and you all know it. Highlander deserves a REAL remake.

Highlander is an example of a fantastic concept executed appallingly. This was a film about immortal warriors, duelling through time, over centuries, gradually gathering to one location so that one of them can stand tall and take the ultimate prize. It's so. Fucking. Badass.

And the film is dogshit. I mean, it's entertaining, sweet in places, kind of awesome at moments, 'I'm in disguise,' etc. But it could have been so, so, so much better.

In fact one rumour I heard about the new one was even a pretty good idea, that being that one of the immortals might have been using a shotgun to blow people's heads of instead of cutting them off. That's awesome, and could lead to an amazing action scene.

J:
personally, i think highlander is one of those ideas that fits better on tv than in a movie. there's just so many different stories that can come from that premise, that you'd never be able to fully explore it in film.

Thrillho:
You have a point about that. Some kind of long term plotting would be awesome.
