Movie re-makes
the loon:
war of the worlds was absolute tosh (have to be polite as this is a family forum)
Nice to see that Geoff Waynes redressing the balance though.
Think the only remake I've seen in the last couple of years that was anything like the original was assault on precinct 13.
Loved the original and the remake was good viewing too.
Or the punnisher
the original with dolph lungren was pants (nothing like the comic) but the newer version was much closer to the original marvel story.

Perhaps so, but they still redefined the word 'epic'

And indeed I also think they are great.

But imagine how long they'd have to be to do them proper justice :D

With each film doing succesfully at the box office I think the film makers could have easily increased their revenue.

i agree with everything said about remakes but we are in a bit of a limbo area as we are all old enough to remember the originals. the majority of people who watch the new ones cant remember growing up in the 60/70's due to them not being born so its all new to them. a small handful of them know there was life before playstation and can make constructive critasism (and probably better spelling than me).
we on the other hand went out and kicked an actual bag of air around, got muddy, nailed pram wheels to a couple of old planks of wood and rode down huge hills with no brakes and no safety equipment if we fell off.... well when the plaster casts came off we invented brakes for the bogies (or whatever they are called in your area)
me, i like old and new versions they both have thier places in the industry.......
until i watched the pink panther, im sorry steve martin just isnt peter sellars!!!!!!
off my soapbox now

Wonder if Peter Jackson will do 'The Hobbit'?
