I used to say "if you're gonna remake a movie, you should remake a bad movie but do it better."
Then they remade The Crow. "Dude I said do it better. ๐คฆโโ๏ธ"
You said "remake a bad movie."
Every iteration of me from 1994 to now is coming to your home to kick your ass right up and out past your teeth for calling the OG Crow a bad movie.
Yes, most of us will be in face paint. Some of us may have black trench coats on. There may even be some hammer pants, but we won't talk about that.
Remakes that are better than the original:
The Thing
The Fly
The Blob
Invasion of the Body Snatchers
Cat People
Hmm. I'm noticing a trend here.
Seriously, there's nothing inherently wrong with remakes but why do it if you're not trying to make it BETTER? Or at least substantially different? Do a different take on the material, don't just swap the CG animated boy for a real life actor while leaving everything including the CG animated dragon as it was, for fuck's sake.
