What is the best re-make of all time? My vote is for pic related.
You don't understand what remake means.
>>69136134
It wasn't a remake.
It's probably the best comic book adaptation of all time in terms of respect for the original material.
>>69136134
That's a reboot, like The Amazing Spiderman in relation to Sam Raimi's Spiderman. Remake this thread and Post a picture of The Thing.

The Thing and Dredd aren't remakes or reboots. They are different adaptations of the same source materials.
>>69136604
That's literally the definition of reboot.
>>69136604
This guy gets it.
>>69136652
Reboot is now often used incorrectly.
You reboot a franchise, not a single film.
>>69136652
No it's not.

True Grit, 2010.
You summoned me?
I think there should always be new IPs. Leave the past in the past. With that said, Dredd was an exceedingly rare gem in a massive ocean of utter shit.

Original IPs only give you the illusion of originality.

What a pointless remake. The only thing it accomplished was ensuring that fewer people would watch the original. It's the EXACT same movie.

Dredd 2012 is not a remake nor a reboot.

My two cents:
>Adaptation
A film based on source material other than another film without regard to continuity.
Examples: Die Hard, The Godfather, The Shawshank Redemption
>Sequel
A film based on another film with regard to continuity and set after the original.
Examples: Die Hard 2, Aliens, Terminator 2: Judgment Day
>Prequel
A film based on another film with regard to continuity and set before the original.
Examples: The Phantom Menace, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Captain America: The First Avenger
>Remake
A film based on another film without regard to continuity.
Examples: Ocean's Eleven, Scarface, The Departed
>Reboot
A film based on a series of films without regard to continuity.
Examples: Ghostbusters, Psycho, Robocop
That being said, there's a bit of a hypocrisy because generally if, say, Spider-Man gets a new actor and a new director, we call that a reboot. Technically, though, it'd just be another adaptation, the same as Dredd.
The important thing is consistency, otherwise the terms are meaningless.
Dredd is a bit of a difficult one to call, but it's not based at all on Judge Dredd, it's based on the comics. So I'd personally say that Dredd is not a remake, but an adaptation.

What about Punisher? First movie was a loose adaptation, second one was a direct adaptation, 3rd one was another adaptation. Yet, they're all a reboot of the Punisher "universe".
>>69138190
this is completely, utterly correct. screencapping.
>>69138190
Oh, and my answer for best remake would probably be The Mummy.
>>69138389
Well yeah, like I said, it can very easily start getting complicated.
I haven't actually seen the Lundgren Punisher or the Stevenson one so I can't expertly comment but just going off what I'm reading online I'd say that all three are adaptations, and the third is erroneously referred to as a reboot. Even calling it a remake would be more acceptable than calling it a reboot, because the prior canon only had one entry.
I'd say it's the same as Dredd. They are three unique adaptations and while I wouldn't stand up and call someone an idiot for saying they're remakes, I also don't think that remake or reboot is the correct term to use here.

I agree with your post, but you forgot spin-offs.
>>69138190
>yfw you find actual discussion on /tv/
>>69138389
They are mostly self contained though, like that's kinda what you expect when you're doing stories involving specific characters rather a specific story.

fuck off reddit
The Departed is magnitudes better than Infernal Affairs.
>>69138624
Spin-off is an important one, you're right, though technically will usually also be a sequel or a prequel. Elektra is a spin-off of Daredevil, but it's also a sequel.
I mean, it all starts getting fucked in comic-book movies just because of all of the cinematic universes and bullshit.
>>69138720
Sidequel is also one I could've stuck in there but I fucking hate that word with a passion.
Also, I forgot.
>>69138749

First time I hear that word. I hate it too. It grates on my brain for some reason.
>>69136134
>>69138006
that was a much more fucked up horror movie than the original.
Abby was a pedo sexual predator in that version though.
>>69138909
that was pretty good as was Oceans Eleven
>>69136134
It had literally 0 atmosphere that was present in the comics

We generally don't allow constructive discussion on this board.

Shame that the highlight of "discussion" on /tv/ is nothing more than semantics.
This place is awful.
