Quote HistoryQuoted: No, no aliens. But a few planets formerly occupied by humans, or in the case of ' earth ', human form cylons and their version of toasters. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I sooo want to say that's sacrilege, but you're totally right.. new BSG made sense at least... I do need some help remembering though: did the rag tag fugitive fleet in the remake ever encounter aliens other than cylons?? there were ovions, borays, the weird 2 mouth singers on carrilon in the original.. and the remake lacked the Count Iblis storyline... Oh and Lost was better than Gilligan's island... No, no aliens. But a few planets formerly occupied by humans, or in the case of ' earth ', human form cylons and their version of toasters. Cool!!! |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The Phantom of the Opera (2004) is much more watchable than the 1925 version. Lon Chaney is a better phantom though. 1000% WRONG. 1925 is best. The 1925 version was later recut, partially colourized, had sound added then re-released in 1929 Don't forget the 1943 remake staring Claude Rains Another remake in 1962 staring Herbert Lom by Hammer Film Productions The 1988 animated version The 1989 remake with Robert Englund The 1998 Italian version Then you get to the 2004 version. Don't forget the spin offs like the Phantom of the Mall or the Phantom of Paradise. I know I'm forgetting several other versions but you get the picture I'm sure. All of it stemming from a book by a French writer named Gaston Leroux back in 1910. It's my favourite book btw. |

The “original” Magnificent Seven.
It’s a direct remake of 7 Samurai (Japanese movie from the 50’s), just set in the old west. 7 Samurai is quite good, but Magnificent Seven is better. The more recent remake was…ok, I guess, but by far the least of the three. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: How about Transformers(2007)? Hell no! Just about everything Michael Bay touches turns to garbage. Transformers (1986) is a classic animated film that doesn't hesitate to kill off major characters. It has a coherent plot, distinct and memorable characters and a fantastic voice cast including Orson Welles, Leonard Nimoy, Robert Stack, Judd Nelson and Eric Idle. Transformers (2007) is poorly scripted nonsense with a ton of revisionism to the original concepts that constantly makes forced, unfunny jokes and stars Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox. How is that better in any way? |

Quoted: True Grit Quoted: BSG These men are both right. The Thomas Crown Affair also worked out well, although the original was a solid movie in its own right. On the other hand, rebooting Thunderball as Never Say Never Again was not a great move. And The Day of the Jackal was brilliant but The Jackal was fermented garbage. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Serious talk here. Alien was a far better movie. Aliens, while a good movie, wasn't even in the same genre. Also, Terminator was leagues better than T2. Finally somebody who gets it! The lean, mean horror of the originals is way more interesting than the bloated action film sequels, even if they are two of the best action films ever. |

The correct answer to the OP’s question is NO.
Remakes always suck. Hollyweird is so uncreative, unimaginative, washed up, drugged up, no talent bums they can’t come up with anything new they just keep remaking old classics and turning them into shit. |
