No. Oldboy 2013 american remake wasn't made soon. It took 10 years. 10 years is a lot. The reason why the film was given a remake. It decided to be more in line with late 1990's manga of the source material. The 2003 south korean film didn't want to follow the manga storyline. It had its different own path and ambiguous ending. Anyway, Oldboy 2013 is more closer to the original manga than the 2003 film.
I love how a white actor playing a non white character is horrible, but when a non white actor plays a white character that's fine, and if you don't like it you're horrible.
Andrew from WatchMojo, 1 of the Films, that Got Ruuined for Me is The Live Version of Mulan, Because There was No Bug, No Dragon voiced by Eddie Murphy as the Supporting Cast Member and having the General as Not the Bad Guy in the Film, Instead Disney Changed it to a Witch instead.

1999's "The Mummy" is literally the perfect formula for making an adventure film and Universal felt the need to try and financially capitalize on that nostalgic film and remake it for their failure of a monster film universe. Stephen Sommers, Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, and everyone involved with that film made one of the best films ever and the magic and passing in it is present on screen in virtually every frame.
The Mummy (original) is one of my favorite movies of all time. It’s not one of the BEST movies made, but God damn is it entertaining and fun. Such a wonderful guilty pleasure.
*Fun Fact:* Guillermo Del Toro asked Universal if he could direct the remake for "The Creature from the Black Lagoon" for the Dark Universe because it was his childhood favorite, and the start of his love for monsters. He wanted to put it fron the Creature's perspective and make it a romance with the creature falling in love with the female lead, but Universal rejected his idea in favor of the standard man vs monster. Del Toro gave up, and went on to make "The Shape of Water" (one of my favorite Del Toro films), which won him 4 Oscars for Best Picture, Original Score, Director, and Production Design. Meanwhile Universal's Dark Universe took a nosedive to hilarity. I guess making your own fanfic version of your favorite fictional story pays off after all.
Fanfic versions can be great, provided they don't try to insist they are connected to the original. Change just enough that it becomes its own story, inspired by the original, not something that pretends it's a reboot of the original while changing so much that the differences become obvious because most times that just manages to irritate or anger people who liked the original and searched out the new version because of that. Well, of course, that is a problem mostly for popular franchises, a well made fanfic version, even when it changes a lot while keeping enough that it is obvious it is kind of pretending to be the same story (just different) can do well enough when the inspiration is something nobody has ever heard of.
Universal probably rejected Del Toro's Gill-man reboot to avoid having their very own Twilight Saga-type cringe-fest to screw things up for them. They has a lot of nerve for a successful studio that distributed Fifty Shades of Grey.
How fortunate we are to have such a masterful artist as Guillermo del Toro to bring us the kinds of films we WANT to see! TSOW was certainly a very beautifully done film. I can't imagine how it might have gone if a major studio had gotten its hands on it.
The Tom Cruise Mummy movie still has me mad. The Brendan Fraser Mummy is a classic. It didn’t need a remake or reboot. I regard The Mummy (1999) as a Masterpiece.
@@tvirus9369 That I knew, but it doesn’t stop it from being an enjoyable movie that takes its own liberties to have itself different. I get that the Tom Cruise Mummy tried that with a Darker Tone, but it failed as the Brendan Fraser one works. Mainly because it’s an enjoyable movie with a lot of heart. I see it like the Original Boris Karloff Mummy movie as a Classic.
Brendan Fraser as Rick O Connel was like Michael Keaton as Batman, It’s a role that sounds dumb on paper, but managed to work well. Rather than Tom Cruise just replacing him to be in a role he’s done millions of times
I'd 100% be down for a re-showing of a classic in a theater I was too young to get the first time. I recently saw Akira in an almost empty theater and the complete quiet made it a glorious experience.
I’m surprised that they didn’t mention the live action remake of Mulan. This movie shouldn’t of been remade instead of trying to shamelessly make a cash grab with such a excellent movie.
You know a remake is bad when it makes me realize how much of a masterpiece the original was and this was someone who thought the original was alright and the remake would be better. If only I’d known better.
The worse thing to say about the Mulan remake was that it was a cheap knock-off of a brilliant martial arts film known as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. And much worse, the Mulan remake is a dirty CPP political propaganda.
Omg I jus said the same thing. First movie that came to mind was mulan! Terrible and not even close to the original with no music or dance scenes which was why I loved mulan! Original mulan all day 💯
I totally agree with the reason the RoboCop remake failed. Violence is a key part of it plus Murphy's re-emergence to his humanity. The remake had none of this; It was as bad as one of the RoboCop ripoff movies from decades ago
Brandon Fraser was asked one time on his opinion on why Tom Cruise's The Mummy failed. To summarize, he said most people who knew The Mummy often associate the series with action-adventure with a bit of comedy. And when people heard about Tom Cruise version about being a thriller instead, people were disappointed. Too bad Tom Cruise isn't known having a sense of humor.
@@tvirus9369 And it was a massive success. Unlike the second reboot of the 2017 Mummy film staring Tom Cruise, which bombed in the box office. Sometimes, the second movie reboots work like Scarface, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Batman Begins and Mad Max: Fury Road, etc. Not all reboots work.
@@tvirus9369 Well yeah, but it still had a workable formula (for the most part) that didn't need to be thrown out for an unnecessarily ambitious film that deviated from what Mummy fans actually wanted.
In defense of planet of the apes, the books from which the movies were based on originally finished with the Lincoln ape. They changed it for the liberty statue for the movie and it was such a good twist that even the author said it was better than his book twist. With the remake they stuck more closely to the source material and kept the original ending, but the first movie twist ending was so damn good that it completely failed LMAO 😭😂
actually the orginal book was set on another planet with the lead character returning to earth only to find apes rule there to. a plot twist at the end was that the lead character wrote all this down put it in a pod andat the end learing that the ones reading it are...apes
I know you already gave Disney Live-Action Remakes their own list years ago, but there are Plenty of Other bad changes to warrent a Top 20 List, especially with more recent remakes. Like Mulan being born with Chi Powers, Pinocchio not turning into a real boy onscreen, Scar's iconic "Be Prepared" number being shortend to last 2 minutes, and how Maleficent's Raven transformed into a Dragon, instead of Maleficent herself.
Spike Lee was planning to remake Enter The Dragon. So was Brett Ratner. Thank God none of them never did. Otherwise, it would've been a complete utter disaster.
Even I wanted to write a script for Enter the Dragon, but I instead took more interest in the other movie Game of Death and the video game Double Dragon.
Phew, I'm glad you didn't bash on Willy Wonka's characterization in Tim Burton's Charlie in The Chocolate Factory again. He was intended to be as kooky and awkward in the 2005 movie as he was in the original Roald Dahl book.
I think Watchmojo is starting to realize how old their bashing on Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) is getting. So they’re trying to keep their lists of remakes and reboots fresh.
Before the Psycho remake was released they were talking about how the director would hold a stopwatch ⏱️ during filming. If the scene didn’t match the original to the second they’d shoot another take. Supposedly they also consulted the original throughout shooting. I didn’t watch it, I figured if they were going that far to duplicate the original I might as well just watch the original. 😅
and I got the unrated director's cut of the original on blu ray, too much for the R rating. Before seeing that version on DVD, I saw a VHS tape recorded off television "ladies leave"
They could've made it rated R and it would've still sucked. The mistake was remaking it in the first place, not the rating. A rating doesn't denote the quality of a film.
Well his name is more synonymous with 'Lucrative' and 'Viable'. So the bad decisions can be construed as experiments which are instrumental in attaining success, I believe
@@aravindravi6845 “Lucrative” ? People could pay millions of dollars to look at a pile of shit. That doesn’t change the fact that it’s still a pile of shit
@@RyanLBrown9396 Not even bringing in the box office parlance,just frankly looking at things, I simply don't think people all across the world ended up spending more than eleven billion dollars on 'a pile of shit' buddy.
I wish the Hugh Jackman Van Helsing was more successful cause there were plans for that movie to be catalyst of an expanded universe filled with classic old school monsters.
Liam Neeson will always be Zeus and that signature line that only he can pull off, " Release the Kraken"!!! The Pegasus scene was pretty cool from the standpoint that it showed how enormous the Kraken was and how dynamic Perseus and the Pegasus were at weaving through the chaos that was going on, but yeah.....Everything else.....
In defense of the 1998 Godzilla, at least the cartoon follow up was really good. Didn’t even want to waste my time with the Tom Cruise Mummy. As for RoboCop 2014… I saw it in theaters but I honestly don’t remember much about it with the exception of Michael Keaton and Joel Kinnaman
At least the 1998 movie actually has a good storyline with the humans. Also, a few of the other movies or whatever they are of Godzilla make this one seem like a complete masterpiece.
My advice to producers to choose movies from the past which bombed but their stories,script etc. has potential for improvement instead of picking perfect movies from the past and ruining them....
7. They even brought the redesign back in Final Wars just to murder on screen. Thank god they they fixed this issue in the 2014 film. 4. That's like trying to neuter Mortal Kombat. And look how well that turned out!
Surprised Ghostbusters 2016 isn't on this list. Considering the failure it was, it easily would be a contender for the top spot. Or is it: First rule of Ghostbusters 2016, we don't talk about Ghostbusters 2016

None of my favorite movies were ruined by a remake. I just treat them as 2 different things. Like i treat my childhood differently from my adulthood. Nothing in my adulthood can ruin my childhood. It already happened. It was great. Glad i had it.
@@gearswitch8193 Watchmojo asked "Have any of your favorite movies been ruined by a bad remake decision? Let us know in the comments below." So i answered their question. I am failing to see why you keep replying to me. Maybe you never heard people complain about how their child hoods are being ruined by remakes.

@@bsherder were talking about bad movie remakes theyre talking about bad remakes not ur or my childhood.... my childhood cant be ruined by these crap remakes cause I can always go back to the original ones and enjoy them again...just relax make some popcorn and watch the original robocop again
Oldboy remake just pales after the original. Likely due to studio interference. I think both Spike Lee and Brolin wanted it edgier but studio said no, so they both disowned it.
From what I followed, the new Mummy movie was part of the monsterverse movies they were trying to make a series, including The Invisible Man. I didn't think it was a remake at all. I believe the only reference made to The Mummy 1999 was the golden book.
it was a remake of the original 1932 The Mummy. They were going to remake 1931's Frankenstein, 1931's Dracula, 1933's The Invisible Man, 1941's The Wolf Man, and 1954's Creature from the Black Lagoon. And then do something like The Conjuring universe, where all the movies exist in the same universe but don't affect each other. But then the remake of the Mummy tanked, and Universal Studios closed down all of the projects connected to it.
Godzilla even took away his atomic breath. I thought Dracula Untold was the 1st starting of the Dark Universe, at least The Invisible Man gave it a good ending. If anything they should continue on with Dracula Untold separately.
Godzilla 98 was one of my fav 90s monster flicks but I really think having it under the Godzilla banner hurt it more than anything. I think it would’ve done better if it was standalone
The Tom Cruise Mummy isn't a remake of the Brendan Fraiser Mummy series. It takes the title but is a completely different story. I actually enjoyed the movie, and was disappointed they didn't continue the Dark Universe series.
I had forgotten what a disaster the Psycho remake from 1998 was. And as this video confirms, the reason for this terrible film was the shot-for-shot copying of the original 1960 classic. As you're watching the remake, all you're thinking is "the original was SO MUCH better".
The director admitted he hated the idea of this remake. So instead of somebody else doing it, he accepted the job hoping that the film would fail, and therefore avoiding for a time any remake of Hitchcock film.
I like the Clash of the Titans remake way more than the original and I think the Mummy 2017 would’ve been alright had it casted anyone other than Tom Cruise
The problem with the mummy 2017 was trying to get a universe when you don’t even have a good movie to start with, and I agree Tom cruise was miscast also the villain was weak itself she acted like a dismal in distress which makes her look weak. Also, the 1999 was a blend of horror, action, comedy, and everything else while the 2017 version didn’t even know what the hell it is, I feel what they should have done like invisible man 2020 wait til you have a good script and make sure you have a good mummy villain. I feel like the invisible man was the movie that could have Start a shared universe
@@BigBrianBruce I totally agree with Mario but I would add Russel Crowe also, The film is different enough from the brendan frasier film to stand alone and not a remake, and Sophia as the mummy was a great casting, she plays these type of characters so well.
#2: Only a problem for someone who's NEVER been exposed to Pierre Boulle's original novel, Planet of the Apes (or "la Planète des singes") or to Rod Serling's original script for a "Planet of the Apes" film. (While no "Ape Lincoln" was part of either, none of the film versions are remotely faithful to Boulle's original story.)
@@jobrakai9395 It's a widely supported idea that plenty of people have made videos on, actually. Yeah, it's Hamlet with Lions, but it definitely has direct similarities with Kimba. Disney could easily rip off an obscure anime and get away with it, with their juggernaut status.
@@ChibiProwl The problem isn’t the Ghostbusters being female. The problem was the execution. Ghostbusters Afterlife proves that a Ghostbusters film with a female lead can work.
@@hunterolaughlin it kind of is though its not necessary that's the new thing just remake classic but have a female lead they did the same with the oceans movies and it just doesn't work
I hope nobody ever tries to remake the following movies because in my opinion they are perfect as they are: 1. Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas 2. A Clockwork Orange 3. Natural Born Killers 4. Fight Club 5. Eraserhead
@@shonuffhang1560 Actually, Where The Buffalo Roam is based off of the Fear And Loathing book as well as a few other different writings from Hunter S. Thompson
It's impossible to remake Fear and Loathing. Nobody will ever do a better job at playing Hunter S. Thompson than Johhny Depp. Also, Terry Gilliam's direction and style for the movie perfectly reflects the tone of the book. It's perfect.
Poltergeist has the dumbest remake ever. In the original, the little girl is stolen by an evil entity known only as “The Beast” who wants to use her innocent life force to lure lost souls away from the heavenly light. In the remake, there is no Beast and the girl is taken by a bunch of CGI ghosts because, well, just because.
'99 The Mummy is one of the best updated remakes. Unlike Today's remakes, even the Ape Lincoln scene (2001 planet of the apes) was pretty cool I thought.
The only differences between Psycho '60 and '98 were Vince Vaughn adding that chuckle (which just made Norman seem creepy from the beginning, ruining the only suspense that the remake *could* have had for audiences that hadn't seen the original) and of course Norman unsubtly pleasuring himself as he spies on Marion in the bathroom. On the DVD of the '98 version, there was a featurette interviewing drunk/slack-jawed teens who didn't know who Alfred Hitchcock was, or who wouldn't watch B&W films, to show us that there was a "reason" for the film to be remade...
@@davefreier7738 And the animated movie! Animated Major's nose and eyebrows are more rigid, kind of like a Greek statue, but overall I think her casting made complete sense. I still say Ron Perlman should have been Batou. Pilou did great but dammit, he LOOKED like Ron.
The issue is only an issue because woke people in the west think it's an issue and don't actually know anything about the manga or anime :D Yes, I'm serious. Her name and person (who she is inside) is Japanese, but the body isn't :) You do touch upon a point here though, you didn't know so you didn't even give it any thought, which is perfectly fine :)
This is why I hate the dumbo remake. It focused too much on them damn kids rather than on Dumbo himself. He's the main character for crying out loud!! The movie is not called "Two Kids Nobody Gives a Crap About". It's frigging Dumbo!!
Don't get me wrong, I actually enjoyed Disney's Maleficent a little bit more than Sleeping Beauty, at least for giving a heart to one of their greatest villans.
so john carpenter's the thing shouldn't exist. or David Cronenberg's the fly. heck. scarface 1989 wouldn't exist. heck charlton heston's Ben hur and the 10 commandments are fucking remakes of films from the 1920's.
Personally 1998 Godzilla was meant to be more of a realistic compared to the humanoid/bi-ped monster. However as a seperate subspecies of Godzilla wouldve made better sense
The original first two “Robocop” movies were insanely gruesome. “Robocop 2” was one of the first films that I saw in life that actually bothered me- the scene where they capture the snitch cop and operate on him alive, when Robocop is chopped apart again while alive, and when they make Cain’s cadaver into an evil cyborg…I saw it when I was 13ish, and had many R rates viewings under my belt, but holy shit, that was next level. To this day, those scenes, and the infamous ankle scene from “Pet Sematary 1987” actually still bother me. Orion Studio, the home of Robocop, was dissolved and eventually reworked during the making of “Robocop 3”…the result was that it was stuck in production hell for years. A SNES game was released long before the movie appeared, further puzzling everyone. When the film hit, it was pretty bad…and it was PG-13. An adult franchise going that route is never a good idea, but I really think that some series need their roughness and gore to be relevant. I still vividly remember seeing that stuff from “2” some 39 years later…”1” has some marked gore, too, but although memorable it didn’t hit the same. The fact that I saw “3” when I was much older but don’t remember jack about it says something. “Robocop 3” bombed hard. The studio obviously didn’t pay attention, so this forgettable entry is what we got.🎉
I agree on the first two films... ... Robocop 3 though, even the serious and intense acting in that film made me laugh like the Donut-Shop Robber and the Map-Carrier who got his neck snapped by the Cyber-Ninja.
I personally think the new Mummy was not the remake of the classic, because it just don't follow the original plot. Older mummy was a comedic adventure film, but this followed a dark adventurous path. It had a complete different plot than the original, without humour, just dark. I think it was not that bad of a remake. I just want part 2 of the Tom Cruise movie. Maybe, it should deserve a chance to correct its mistakes of the part one. 😢
Actually, the "wancking" scene of the reboot was not in the original. Besides, the director said, later on, that he accepted the project ONLY TO MAKE IT FAIL because he HATED the idea and, by doing it himself, he knew he could make it so it would fail therefore avoiding other Hitch' remakes... Kind of what the Wachowski did with Matrix 4.
Number one... Psycho.... ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! A shot for shot remake was a waste of time, centering around THE ICONIC movie. No matter how good it could have been, it would always be second best.
Not all of them, as there are some movie remakes that were good. To say that all movie remakes are a joke nowadays would be an unfair, biased, and misleading assessment.

Let's be honest when they try to do a live action remake of a anime it never turns out well and that includes both shows and movies on both sides and Netflix has a big problem with this also
Personally, I disagree with the note on the Live-action GitS. Sure, people had issues with some of the casting, like ScarJo, but personally, I was fine with her as the Major (Kusanagi is a full cyborg after all). Honestly, in that world, it works. My problem with it all was dumbing down GitS. If you go back to the original GitS anime movie, or especially GitS 2, you get very heavy philosophical notes. The live action chose to spoon feed some of this to the audience. I have other gripes, but this is my biggest for that movie.
Remaking Mulan (2020), Pinnocchio (the 2022 Disney version, not the Guillermo Del Toro Netflix stop-motion version that was released in the later part of 2022) and Aladdin (2019) were bad ideas to be remade with. And don't even get started with The Lion King 2019 remake, as that remake was a complete travesty to the 1994 animated original.

If your talking about terrible shot to shot remake, then the Lion King live action is up there. Not only did they try to not change anything with the remake story, but making the live action animal look and act realistic lost a lot of charm of the original and at at times made me think I was a animal documentary. The original was very colourful and the animals showed a lot of emotions, especially Simba when Mufasa died, but the live action remake showed none of that, the Musafa death scene in the live action remake showed no emotion which made a sad scene look bad
@@HunkyMattel Trying to make the animals act like they do in real life in the live action remake killed any emotions they had like the original. The Mufasa death in the original had a lot of people in tears because of the emotions both Mufasa and Simba showed, the remake showed nothing of that because "Lions don't express like humans do" and it made people feel nothing in a very sad scene like we felt watching the original.

Personally, I liked Godzilla ‘98 (Zilla)’s design… He looked much more feasible in that movie than the Godzilla that appeared in past movies, which, due to the method those films were created, looked more like a villain from Power Rangers and removed all suspension of disbelief… Hard to have fun and turn off my brain at the same time… I must admit, though, that the later Godzilla appears as a threateningly powerful force… I just hate how the Japanese dislike “Zilla” so much, that they had Godzilla one-shot him in one of the later movies, in order to remove him from canon…

Del Toro gave up, and went on to make "The Shape of Water" (one of my favorite Del Toro films), which won him 4 Oscars for Best Picture, Original Score, Director, and Production Design. Meanwhile Universal's Dark Universe took a nosedive to hilarity.
I guess making your own fanfic version of your favorite fictional story pays off after all.
Fanfic versions can be great, provided they don't try to insist they are connected to the original. Change just enough that it becomes its own story, inspired by the original, not something that pretends it's a reboot of the original while changing so much that the differences become obvious because most times that just manages to irritate or anger people who liked the original and searched out the new version because of that. Well, of course, that is a problem mostly for popular franchises, a well made fanfic version, even when it changes a lot while keeping enough that it is obvious it is kind of pretending to be the same story (just different) can do well enough when the inspiration is something nobody has ever heard of.
It's too bad that "The Shape of Water" was an asinine movie.
Universal probably rejected Del Toro's Gill-man reboot to avoid having their very own Twilight Saga-type cringe-fest to screw things up for them.
They has a lot of nerve for a successful studio that distributed Fifty Shades of Grey.
How fortunate we are to have such a masterful artist as Guillermo del Toro to bring us the kinds of films we WANT to see! TSOW was certainly a very beautifully done film. I can't imagine how it might have gone if a major studio had gotten its hands on it.
The Tom Cruise Mummy movie still has me mad. The Brendan Fraser Mummy is a classic. It didn’t need a remake or reboot. I regard The Mummy (1999) as a Masterpiece.
Funny because the 1999 mummy is a remake itself
Ditto
@@tvirus9369 That I knew, but it doesn’t stop it from being an enjoyable movie that takes its own liberties to have itself different. I get that the Tom Cruise Mummy tried that with a Darker Tone, but it failed as the Brendan Fraser one works. Mainly because it’s an enjoyable movie with a lot of heart. I see it like the Original Boris Karloff Mummy movie as a Classic.
The Mummy 2017 received multiple Razzie nominations and won only one award for Tom Cruise as Worst Actor
I love that movie too , the soundtrack by Jerry Goldsmith is just pure gold , unlike the sequels it wasn't goofy
Brendan Fraser as Rick O Connel was like Michael Keaton as Batman,
It’s a role that sounds dumb on paper, but managed to work well.
Rather than Tom Cruise just replacing him to be in a role he’s done millions of times
I've, always, believed, if a movie's good enough to be remade, it doesn't need to be remade.

I'd 100% be down for a re-showing of a classic in a theater I was too young to get the first time. I recently saw Akira in an almost empty theater and the complete quiet made it a glorious experience.

I’m surprised that they didn’t mention the live action remake of Mulan. This movie shouldn’t of been remade instead of trying to shamelessly make a cash grab with such a excellent movie.
You know a remake is bad when it makes me realize how much of a masterpiece the original was and this was someone who thought the original was alright and the remake would be better. If only I’d known better.
The worse thing to say about the Mulan remake was that it was a cheap knock-off of a brilliant martial arts film known as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
And much worse, the Mulan remake is a dirty CPP political propaganda.
Omg I jus said the same thing. First movie that came to mind was mulan! Terrible and not even close to the original with no music or dance scenes which was why I loved mulan! Original mulan all day 💯
I totally agree with the reason the RoboCop remake failed. Violence is a key part of it plus Murphy's re-emergence to his humanity.
The remake had none of this; It was as bad as one of the RoboCop ripoff movies from decades ago
A little word of advice to the remakes: DON'T MESS WITH THE ORIGINALS!!!!
EXACTLY
True advice
It's always the writers for these remakes, they feel that they cna do better than the original.
John Carpenter's the thing is a perfect example of a good remake.
AMEN!!!!!
Brandon Fraser was asked one time on his opinion on why Tom Cruise's The Mummy failed. To summarize, he said most people who knew The Mummy often associate the series with action-adventure with a bit of comedy. And when people heard about Tom Cruise version about being a thriller instead, people were disappointed. Too bad Tom Cruise isn't known having a sense of humor.

I know you already gave Disney Live-Action Remakes their own list years ago, but there are Plenty of Other bad changes to warrent a Top 20 List, especially with more recent remakes. Like Mulan being born with Chi Powers, Pinocchio not turning into a real boy onscreen, Scar's iconic "Be Prepared" number being shortend to last 2 minutes, and how Maleficent's Raven transformed into a Dragon, instead of Maleficent herself.
Basically remakes missing the points of originals.

Top Ten Remakes that stayed true to the Original Source Material
Spike Lee was planning to remake Enter The Dragon. So was Brett Ratner. Thank God none of them never did. Otherwise, it would've been a complete utter disaster.
Even I wanted to write a script for Enter the Dragon, but I instead took more interest in the other movie Game of Death and the video game Double Dragon.
Phew, I'm glad you didn't bash on Willy Wonka's characterization in Tim Burton's Charlie in The Chocolate Factory again. He was intended to be as kooky and awkward in the 2005 movie as he was in the original Roald Dahl book.
I think Watchmojo is starting to realize how old their bashing on Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) is getting. So they’re trying to keep their lists of remakes and reboots fresh.
Before the Psycho remake was released they were talking about how the director would hold a stopwatch ⏱️ during filming. If the scene didn’t match the original to the second they’d shoot another take. Supposedly they also consulted the original throughout shooting. I didn’t watch it, I figured if they were going that far to duplicate the original I might as well just watch the original. 😅
Making Robocop 2014 PG13 was seriously dumb. They literally got the director of Elite Squad and wants it watered down?? The hell?
I went to see the movie just because of him
And he did a really good job regardless
I would like to see robocop as a series in future,a rated r version.
and I got the unrated director's cut of the original on blu ray, too much for the R rating. Before seeing that version on DVD, I saw a VHS tape recorded off television "ladies leave"
They could've made it rated R and it would've still sucked. The mistake was remaking it in the first place, not the rating. A rating doesn't denote the quality of a film.
I admit it was bad but I liked how more awesome ED-209 was in the remake
The Mummy from 1999 wasn't the original, that was a remake too

Liam Neeson will always be Zeus and that signature line that only he can pull off, " Release the Kraken"!!! The Pegasus scene was pretty cool from the standpoint that it showed how enormous the Kraken was and how dynamic Perseus and the Pegasus were at weaving through the chaos that was going on, but yeah.....Everything else.....
Nesson was the best part about the remake. To me Laurence Olivier is Zeus. Or at least Tiny Lister.
Liam's Neeson as zeus horrible terminator salvation guy horrible story ok and they thought by releasing a sequel it was gonna be better waaaahahaha
Casting Vince Vaughn in a Anthony Perkins role was the first mistake. Actually, deciding to remake Psycho at all was the first mistake.
In defense of the 1998 Godzilla, at least the cartoon follow up was really good.
Didn’t even want to waste my time with the Tom Cruise Mummy.
As for RoboCop 2014… I saw it in theaters but I honestly don’t remember much about it with the exception of Michael Keaton and Joel Kinnaman
Godzilla tas was the only thing that was good after the movie.
No robocop movie will never top the 1987 movie.
At least the 1998 movie actually has a good storyline with the humans. Also, a few of the other movies or whatever they are of Godzilla make this one seem like a complete masterpiece.
My advice to producers to choose movies from the past which bombed but their stories,script etc. has potential for improvement instead of picking perfect movies from the past and ruining them....

Oldboy remake just pales after the original. Likely due to studio interference. I think both Spike Lee and Brolin wanted it edgier but studio said no, so they both disowned it.
From what I followed, the new Mummy movie was part of the monsterverse movies they were trying to make a series, including The Invisible Man. I didn't think it was a remake at all. I believe the only reference made to The Mummy 1999 was the golden book.
it was a remake of the original 1932 The Mummy. They were going to remake 1931's Frankenstein, 1931's Dracula, 1933's The Invisible Man, 1941's The Wolf Man, and 1954's Creature from the Black Lagoon.
And then do something like The Conjuring universe, where all the movies exist in the same universe but don't affect each other. But then the remake of the Mummy tanked, and Universal Studios closed down all of the projects connected to it.

I had forgotten what a disaster the Psycho remake from 1998 was. And as this video confirms, the reason for this terrible film was the shot-for-shot copying of the original 1960 classic. As you're watching the remake, all you're thinking is "the original was SO MUCH better".
Vince Vaughn as Norman Bates… _(opens jack-in-the-box, "FAIL!" pops out)_
The director admitted he hated the idea of this remake. So instead of somebody else doing it, he accepted the job hoping that the film would fail, and therefore avoiding for a time any remake of Hitchcock film.
I like the Clash of the Titans remake way more than the original and I think the Mummy 2017 would’ve been alright had it casted anyone other than Tom Cruise
The problem with the mummy 2017 was trying to get a universe when you don’t even have a good movie to start with, and I agree Tom cruise was miscast also the villain was weak itself she acted like a dismal in distress which makes her look weak. Also, the 1999 was a blend of horror, action, comedy, and everything else while the 2017 version didn’t even know what the hell it is, I feel what they should have done like invisible man 2020 wait til you have a good script and make sure you have a good mummy villain. I feel like the invisible man was the movie that could have Start a shared universe

I totally agree with Mario but I would add Russel Crowe also, The film is different enough from the brendan frasier film to stand alone and not a remake, and Sophia as the mummy was a great casting, she plays these type of characters so well.

In the remake, there is no Beast and the girl is taken by a bunch of CGI ghosts because, well, just because.
'99 The Mummy is one of the best updated remakes. Unlike Today's remakes, even the Ape Lincoln scene (2001 planet of the apes) was pretty cool I thought.
The only differences between Psycho '60 and '98 were Vince Vaughn adding that chuckle (which just made Norman seem creepy from the beginning, ruining the only suspense that the remake *could* have had for audiences that hadn't seen the original) and of course Norman unsubtly pleasuring himself as he spies on Marion in the bathroom. On the DVD of the '98 version, there was a featurette interviewing drunk/slack-jawed teens who didn't know who Alfred Hitchcock was, or who wouldn't watch B&W films, to show us that there was a "reason" for the film to be remade...
They definitely ruined Mummy by replacing Brendan with Tom

Personally 1998 Godzilla was meant to be more of a realistic compared to the humanoid/bi-ped monster. However as a seperate subspecies of Godzilla wouldve made better sense
The original first two “Robocop” movies were insanely gruesome. “Robocop 2” was one of the first films that I saw in life that actually bothered me- the scene where they capture the snitch cop and operate on him alive, when Robocop is chopped apart again while alive, and when they make Cain’s cadaver into an evil cyborg…I saw it when I was 13ish, and had many R rates viewings under my belt, but holy shit, that was next level. To this day, those scenes, and the infamous ankle scene from “Pet Sematary 1987” actually still bother me.
Orion Studio, the home of Robocop, was dissolved and eventually reworked during the making of “Robocop 3”…the result was that it was stuck in production hell for years. A SNES game was released long before the movie appeared, further puzzling everyone. When the film hit, it was pretty bad…and it was PG-13. An adult franchise going that route is never a good idea, but I really think that some series need their roughness and gore to be relevant. I still vividly remember seeing that stuff from “2” some 39 years later…”1” has some marked gore, too, but although memorable it didn’t hit the same. The fact that I saw “3” when I was much older but don’t remember jack about it says something.
“Robocop 3” bombed hard. The studio obviously didn’t pay attention, so this forgettable entry is what we got.🎉
I agree on the first two films...
... Robocop 3 though, even the serious and intense acting in that film made me laugh like the Donut-Shop Robber and the Map-Carrier who got his neck snapped by the Cyber-Ninja.
I personally think the new Mummy was not the remake of the classic, because it just don't follow the original plot. Older mummy was a comedic adventure film, but this followed a dark adventurous path. It had a complete different plot than the original, without humour, just dark. I think it was not that bad of a remake. I just want part 2 of the Tom Cruise movie. Maybe, it should deserve a chance to correct its mistakes of the part one. 😢
I can't believe that they didn't do anything new with the Psycho remake. Why ever bother even you could just rewatch the original?
Actually, the "wancking" scene of the reboot was not in the original.
Besides, the director said, later on, that he accepted the project ONLY TO MAKE IT FAIL because he HATED the idea and, by doing it himself, he knew he could make it so it would fail therefore avoiding other Hitch' remakes...
Kind of what the Wachowski did with Matrix 4.

Remaking Mulan (2020), Pinnocchio (the 2022 Disney version, not the Guillermo Del Toro Netflix stop-motion version that was released in the later part of 2022) and Aladdin (2019) were bad ideas to be remade with.
And don't even get started with The Lion King 2019 remake, as that remake was a complete travesty to the 1994 animated original.

The Lion King and was a decent to hold the the plot like the original But was not that terrible with only mixed reviews. And beauty and the beast with less positive reviews. But the rest just ignore what the Classic was so good and remove a few scenes totally ruined it.
@@mattiasolsson1523 "Beauty and the Beast live-action adaptation with less positive reviews"??? Like, you're completely wrong and misinformed in that part of the argument, as that 2017 live-action movie adaptation was positively well-received by both critics and audiences. Furthermore, that movie had a good and positive ratings within its review aggregators:
RT:
Critics - 71% (Fresh) rating
Metacritic -
65% - " Generally Favorable"
The Lion King 2019 live-action remake/adaptation on the other hand, is not well-received and its weak ratings indicate that and a proof of that movie, getting less positive reviews:
RT:
Critics - 52% (Rotten)
Metacritic -
55% - "Mixed Or Average"

So negative you sounds.
At least the Lion King 2019 wasn’t lower then it is now, better then bad But a little disapointed i heard. It got some praise, is that wrong to you?
@@mattiasolsson1523 Are you kidding me? The Lion King 2019 "live-action" (whatever that term being referred on that movie) remake/adaptation *WAS NOT* good at all, and no amount of good CGI can make that movie that good.
Furthermore, The Lion King 2019 remake/adaptation is nothing more but a travesty to the 1994 animated classic. The ratings of that movie being mentioned above, do not lie at all.
The Dark Universe would have been dope, but the movie just wasn't that well liked.
If your talking about terrible shot to shot remake, then the Lion King live action is up there. Not only did they try to not change anything with the remake story, but making the live action animal look and act realistic lost a lot of charm of the original and at at times made me think I was a animal documentary. The original was very colourful and the animals showed a lot of emotions, especially Simba when Mufasa died, but the live action remake showed none of that, the Musafa death scene in the live action remake showed no emotion which made a sad scene look bad
I know this is a popular opinion, but I liked the realistic animals. They could show a little more emotion but I loved that "live action".
@@HunkyMattel Trying to make the animals act like they do in real life in the live action remake killed any emotions they had like the original. The Mufasa death in the original had a lot of people in tears because of the emotions both Mufasa and Simba showed, the remake showed nothing of that because "Lions don't express like humans do" and it made people feel nothing in a very sad scene like we felt watching the original.
Remaking The Lion King and turning it live-action shot-for-shot version (the same technique used for 1999's Psycho) was a huge mistake, and worse of all; that movie made a dirty load of money and it's really sick🤢🤢🤢🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦.
@@MERCHIODOS I dont care. I liked the film.
1) Papillon (2017) is number one on my list : shot in locations the Mediterranean, not the Caribbean Sea.
2) Ben-Hur (2016) : of course 1959 film was not original too, but I really hate all kind of CG.
3) Straw Dogs (2011) : No one dares to lift a finger against Sam Peckinpah and Dustin Hoffman.
How about literally every live action Disney remake
LOL IKR
They're not all bad. I like all of them.

@@ajpat9620 Aladdin has 57% on Rotten Tomatoes. But it made $1.051 billion dollars at the box office. And there’s a sequel in the works.
@@abellewis3062 Still, the Aladdin remake is a mess.
But nothing can be worse than Alice in Wonderland and The Lion King. Like the Aladdin remake, those movies are also a mess.
Personally, I liked Godzilla ‘98 (Zilla)’s design… He looked much more feasible in that movie than the Godzilla that appeared in past movies, which, due to the method those films were created, looked more like a villain from Power Rangers and removed all suspension of disbelief… Hard to have fun and turn off my brain at the same time… I must admit, though, that the later Godzilla appears as a threateningly powerful force… I just hate how the Japanese dislike “Zilla” so much, that they had Godzilla one-shot him in one of the later movies, in order to remove him from canon…
These remakes don't consistently live up to our expectations as viewers, however they still serve us the entertainment we all want.
