Can't think of one.


Robo Cop sucked
Conan sucked
Red Dawn sucked
Poltergeist sucked
Every single remake of an 80's movie was far worst than the original. I have zero hopes for Ghostbusters.

>>70312659
True Grit was the only good one. The Departed was alright, but whole unnecessary.
>>
Oceans 11?
>>
Evil Dead

>The Departed was alright, but whole unnecessary.
Is there any remake that's necessary?
>>
>>70312809
>original
find a tape and replays the summoning, noone saw it coming

>remake
JEEZ THE BOOK MADE OF HUMAN SKIN COVERED OF BLOOD SAYING PLS DONT READ, WHO KNEW IT WOULD SUMMON DEMONS
>>
>>70312832
Some remakes can improve a good story, with better actors/directing and even some rewrites. Stuff like The Fly and The Thing.
>>
Does Fury Road count as a reboot?

Batman Begins was within the last 15 years.
>>
True Grit
>>
>>70312659
Casino Royale
>>
>>70313127
Fury Road was more of a sequel in it's own right, wasn't it? I haven't seen it yet but it didn't try to reexplain Max's origins, did it?
>>
>>70312897
I thought Lucifer at the end was pretty scary
>>
>>70313227
its a sequel, max is an already stablished character, thus why the movie works, same for the new dredd, they're just there, no need to make the whole origin arc all over again
>>
Battlestar Galactica

What about Dredd?
>>
>>70313227
It was sort a side branch, more of a new direction on an older franchise instead of being prequels/sequels/identical to the source material.
I liked it, even though new Max is nothing like old Max.


Dredd was pretty good too.

>Batman Begins was within the last 15 years.
You're right, but since comic stuff is being rebooted so often I almost feel like it doesn't count for no good reason. Shit, we've had three Spidermans in that 15 years.
>>
>>70312832
The Fly
Casino Royale
>>
>>70312659
Oceans Eleven
True Grit

Dredd

The Thing by John Carpenter
Dawn of the dead (the only good Snyder movie)
Also Scarface is so good everyone literal forgot about the 30's original

It's true. I didn't even know Scarface from the 30s existed before this.
>>
>>70314049
Casino Royale
Batman Begins
Dredd

This one wasn't bad at all, I agree.

>>70315476
These too.

>>70313127

Fury Road doesn't count as a reboot. It's officially a sequel, but Miller's also said that he doesn't worry much about establishing a definitive continuity. Essentially, they're all just "legends" of Mad Max.
>>
>>70313227
>>70313297

it's kinda of a reboot sequel, like star wars
>>
>>70313227
>>70313297
>>70317431
new max though, no inbred pilot guy or his kid either, I vote reboot
