Remakes/Reboots

[Two Headed Boy]

Candyman (2021) is a out this week and I'm looking forward to it despite the 1992 original being one of my all time favourite horror flicks.

Are there many remakes/reboots that have surpassed the original though?

The Thing (1982) and Scarface (1983) are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head.

I thought Star Trek the next generation was brilliant.

There have been a few attempts at the Jungle Book.But for me the outstanding film is the Disney Cartoon with Louis Prima et al.I went to see the newer one in the cinema, it was ok, but not a patch on that one.

Some say the remake of Cape Fear was better.Not for me.

 

[Doc Shrink]

Back To The Future remake is recognised as being better.
Or it will be.

 

[Braehead Cabbage]

The reboot of Rangers is worse than the original

Bartok will confirm in our next life

Agreed. I really dislike the remake actually. Really overblown, bordering on camp, but still very self-serious. One of Scorsese's worst.

No found one that's better than Original. I hated the Robocop reboot. Absolute horse shite compared to original.

Agree, there is no way of making "Can you fly bobby?" any better

I do think a star is born with James Mason is much much better than the subsequent remakes.

 

[Findlayhibby]

Oliver Twist and Oliver! Two entirely different films on the same subject.Take your choice which is better.

 

[Findlayhibby]

The people who got their hands on Psycho should be taken out and shot as far as I'm concerned.

Only thing I can really think as being better than the original is the Chris Nolan Batman films.

The Kenneth More 39 Steps is better than the Robert Donat one.

Me too DeNiro ,can’t touch him.

No!

Highlander being reworked and it will be Henry Cavil playing the lead role. How on god's earth can you top Sean Connery and Queen? I'm so glad they haven't touched the most recent Flash Gordon either as that is another classic with a great Queen soundtrack.

No idea if the movie will be any good or not.
But as I'm of the opinion that Sean Connery couldnae act and Queen were a shite rock band for people who don't actually like rock - I won't write it off based on those things being different
