Is this the only remake to surpass the original in every way?
I can't think of any others.

Has only the setting in common with the Hawks film. Not a remake.
>ITT: people who have never seen the original say The Thing

yeah just ignore the crashed spaceship and alien creature in it too, ya fucking idiot.
Dawn of the Dead
>>70374061
It's almost like a quasi-sequel, but of course the creature is completely different
>>70374000
>>70374166
It was faster paced but in no way is Ving Rhames superior to Ken Foree
>>70374149
It's an adaptation of the short story. The Hawks version is completely different.

it was a good remake but come on

I like the original and appreciate what Romero did for the horror genre.
I just think the remake is better acted and more suspenseful. Also to be honest, the ending of the original just kind of sucked. The idea that they would just randomly shoot into a house without ANY sort of inspecting at all was retarded.
>>70374021
>King Kong
What are you retarded? The original is still miles better than the remakes.
>>70374021
peter jackson's king kong is a laughable shitfest. the coen's true grit is their worst movie. your other selections are accurate.
>>70374021
>king kong
if you're talking about the 70's one compared to the original you're wrong
if you're talking about peter jackson's bloated CGI fuckfest compared to the 70's one you're still wrong
and if you're comparing the CGI fuckfest to the 30's one, then god help you
in conclusion, kill yourself my man.

reading imdb is not the same as watching the movie. go to bed.

While I like it a lot and think Sarah Polley is a really underrated actress, no sorry.

Not even close

agreed. the original dawn of the dead has a great first half hour but the rest of it is cartoonish crap. snyders film is way better.
>>70374595
I've seen both.
>>70374408
the original was full of metaphors about race relations in the 60s, hence the ending. you'd know that if you weren't 13. the remake has some of the worst acting of the decade.

Patricia Tallman was one of those women who looks 1000x better with short hair. Whenever I saw her with long hair she didn't seem attractive at all.

It's great but the original Night of the Living Dead was made in 1968 was made 22 years later.
Horror and Zombies evolved a lot between then.
>>70374149
The aliens in the Hawks and Carpenter versions are completely different.
>>70374000
>>70374000
Citizen Kane is the greatest remake of all time
the original is a little-known kino called Resident Undertaker
Night of the living dead 1990 is way better than the original. anyone who says otherwise is a pretentious fagoteer.
>>70374616
Yep
>>70374616
more of a remake than a sequel
>>70374179
Snyder's only passable film, but worse than the original in literally every way.
>>70374890
>>70374061
>Hawks film
Christian Nyby directed the original, not Hawks.
>>70378151
So the credits say say...but Hawks was a 'creative producer.'
>>70374616
This and The Thing are the perfect remakes IMO. To me, a remake should take the basic concept of the original film and make something entirely new with it. Both of those did exactly that, compared to most remakes which just rehash the original with mild changes, and not to mention they were both fantastic films in their own right without being "just a remake."
>>70374179
I'm looking up at the cast on IMDB right now, and what the fuck? I legitimately thought Tim Roth was in this movie, but no its just some guy named Jake Weber... This is the first time I ever confuse two actors.
>>70374642
>>70374556
What the fuck? Why all the hate for true grit? I wouldn't say it's better than the original, the Wayne version being much more light hearted and of its time (bear in mind how traditional it is considering it came three years after TGTBATU) and the Bridges version being much closer in tone to that of the novel. They're very different movies but the Coens True Grit is fucking fantastic. Side note, why hasn't Steinfeld done anything thing good since?
>>70374408
You literally missed the entire point. You think they gave a fuck if he was a zombie? That was white man's chance to take out a darkie
>>70374408
How did you miss the whole reason for that ending you stupid asshole? It's left open to interpretation happily but it's assumed he shot the lead cause he was black. I mean he didn't whoop and shout "hey dadduh I gawt muh self another nigger!", but it's implied.
>>70374179
No way
