I like a lot of horro remakes, but I don't think I have high expectations for them.
the amount of movie remakes and adaptions of old tv series is pretty appalling because most of them suck. but i am looking forward to the new Green Hornet cuz i like Seth Rogan. so hopefully that'll be good.
The one that annoyed me the most is The Departed. It's well made and well acted, but because it wasn't advertised as a remake and the changed the title it wasn't until I got in the cinema that I realised that I'd seen this film and thus I knew the twist at the end. Giving Scorsese an oscar for that was like handing out grammys for cover versions. It's a bit of a joke really given the quality of his back catalogue.
Most remakes certainly look like they suck. I've not shelled out my hard earned cash to watch poor imitations of decent films like Shaft, The Italian Job, The Taking Of Pelham 123 and The Wicker Man. I won't be seeing the remake of The Warriors either. I know '70s cinema may look dated, but there are some great films that should be watched as they were rather than remade for folks who can't appreciate anything older.
All of this said I did see the Ben Stiller Starsky And Hutch movie and quite enjoyed it.
Others walk the bow, I walk the string
Here is a movie that may benefit from a remake. The original is good although the apocalyptic Battle Of Camlann at the end of the film takes place between about thirty guys. I've seen bigger bar brawls. Using the same sort of CGI that was used in LOTR could give a fitting ending to a great story.
