What are some bad remakes that have been done in film today or from the past...

I heard Planet Of the Apes was pretty bad
This is a tv movie but Carrie on NBC now that was BAD and they changed the ending...

I didn't think Planet Of The Apes was that bad. Maybe because I saw the remake before i did the orginal.

a really bad remake was The Truth About Charlie. that was the worst movie i've ever seen.

Remake of the original

Mr. Stefani · 07-01-2003, 06:17 PM

A remake that was better than the orginal was The Italian Job.

Bad remake:

JMO, but I feel that the new "Planet of the Apes" was pretty poor compared to the Charlton Heston one (although all of the sequels to the original were abysmal). The plot of the remake didn't even make sense.

Mediocre remakes:

"The Time Machine" was adequate, but not nearly as good as the old George Pal classic.

"The Nutty Professor" was decent, but the original was much better.

"Rat Race" was good, but not nearly as good as the original, "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World."

"Down to Earth" with Chris Rock, was okay, but not compared to the excellent "Heaven Can Wait," which was itself a remake of the excellent "Here Comes Mr. Jordan," which was a remake of a play, "Heaven Can Wait," which I didn't see.

The Truth About Charlie is a remake of Charade, btw.

i hated the Shining remake

laceyinthesky · 07-02-2003, 02:25 AM

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World was a lot better than Ratrace.

Mr. Deeds is a terrible one, IMO.

The new version of "Lolita" didn't have the same darkly offbeat humor that the first "Lolita" had, imo.
