Then you direct the all movie
Can you do a video of unproduced live action animated hybrid series
Final Destination was good idea for a movie, but was wasted on bad acting, bad writing and bad directing
Saw was good idea for a movie, but was wasted on bad acting, bad writing and bad directing
The Black Calderon and can you do a video on movies where the Villain should have won like for example Kang from Antman 3, the First Order from the Last Jedi, Miles from Onion Glass and Promising Young Woman.
Remake of the star wars prequels? never in this life.
Especially not with Disney on the wheel or whoever calls the shots with the property
Star Wars Clone Wars film The only Star Wars Razzie
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 19% based on 172 reviews, with an average rating of 4.2/10. The site's critical consensus reads: "Mechanical animation and a less-than stellar script make The Clone Wars a pale shadow of George Lucas' once great franchise."[35] This constituted the lowest Rotten Tomatoes rating of any Star Wars film; all nine theatrical films ranged from 51% to 95% and the made-for-television Ewok films and the Star Wars Holiday Special garnered higher ratings, although their averages encompassed far fewer reviews.[36]
What we got was just fine if ya ask me!!!
If they could just erase Jar Jar and the Gungans, it would be so much better! That's why the prequels are not my favorites.
I agree. Some damage just can't be undone. They're best buried in some desert and never shown again.
I’ll admit these movies have their flaws, but I’ll happily say that Spawn, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and Green Lantern are guilty pleasures of mine
I agree. I'll even add The Golden Compass to my list, with improvements!
Agreed on all three. And I believe all three could be remade into great films without much risk of being worse than the enjoyable originals
At least Halle Berry was a good sport about her Razzie win, even apologising about it being a "God awful movie", and showing up in person to collect it.
I loved Catwoman.
Nearly impossible to follow Michelle Pfiefer
10:28 She was so hot😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
White women all over the internet consider her resurrection scene with the cats meowing to revive her one of the best scenes in cinema history!
@@jackchop1576 Pretty sure more MEN prefer that.
The prequels don't need a remake.
This. Let them be as it is.
Because Jar Jar Binks, trade regulations, and monologues about hating sand were soooo great 🙄
@@KillaD69 Doesn't mean it needs a remake.
There was The Phantom Edit that came damn near perfection for portraying the change from innocent child to Darth Vader, and his relationship with Padme (and how that contributed to the change), iirc. That's enough to convince me that Lucas did create a good movie... he just needed someone else to edit.
They are what they are.
Actually The Golden Compass already has a remake or should i say, readaptation of the book into a television form produced by HBO and BBC titled "His Dark Materials", all three novels including The Golden Compass for thr first season were adapted into one incredible television series that's really underrated in my opinion. If anyone hasn't seen it, i highly recommend you check it out. The theme song for the intro alone is enough to get you interested, i absolutely love the soundtrack 🙌
ya but i think they are talking about as another movie that was a series
@@jsmith3946Nah. The series was a solid enough re-do. Why mess it up with another movie or multiple movies?
Was just coming to comment this AND they did an awesome job.
@@jsmith3946 Nah, if the series did a better job in adapting the books, then there's no real reason to do it again in a movie, no matter how good you're at 🤷
I have only seen the first season so far, but I was pleasantly suprised. I really enjoyed the additions they made (like how Will and his mom were constantly supervised), and overall I thought it was a great adaptation from the novels (which I enjoyed very much as well). I hope to be able to watch season 2 and 3 soon
HEY! Ghost Rider was not a bad movie at all to me! I grow up with it and I liked it and I cannot say Nicholas Cage was a bad casting choice for Johnny Blaze, Screw You!
In all honesty: everyone wants a new ghost rider movie and everyone wants him to be in MCU for so long and I want that too
Agreed 👍🏿
Same here.
Agreed
Agreed
Agreed
Well, you found somebody who did like Green Lantern. It's totally nuts and utterly silly. And that's why I love it. :)
I liked it too!
Same here
I was expecting Howard the duck to make the list
Was thinking the same
Either way
I still enjoy Howard the Duck
Even if it is really dated
5:30 "good luck finding someone who liked it"
Well look no further than you've found him
Ditto
I watched it again last month. After watching morbius.... It ain't that bad at all.
Remake Pearl Harbor and the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy?! Seriously?!
No kidding.
Yes. Pearl harbor is a 3 hour slog with unlikable love triangle. The prequel acting is terrible and maybe the could give Darth Maul a second chance.
@@arthurcharlie2873 to be honest, I actually think Pearl Harbor has some wonderful concepts about American innocence and resolve. If you just gave the script one, maybe two more rewrites, I think it could’ve become one of the most beloved war movies ever made
Just watch Tora,Tora,tora.
@@arthurcharlie2873but what about…….the younlings…….
Cage opened up about his biggest problem with the 2007 Marvel film. He said: “Had Ghost Rider been made in R-rated format, the way they had the guts to do with Deadpool, and they did it again today, I’m fairly certain it would be enormously successful.”
Cage added: “The problem is, it’s very hard to take a family of children to a movie - and they made it a PG-13 movie - about a superhero who, oh, by the way, also happens to have sold his soul to Satan. [Not the] most commercial concept or vehicle. But it certainly is the most interesting, and the most thought-provoking. I think if you look back on the movies today, they age well.”
I'd take a Sequel trilogy remake over the Prequel trilogy remake any day! The prequels were fun and does its job, but the same can't be said for the recent sequels.
Same
A remake of the sequel trilogy makes much more sense
@@Lusadio.Rafantes absolutely
Definitely hit the nail on the head
Star Wars Clone Wars film The only Star Wars Razzie
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 19% based on 172 reviews, with an average rating of 4.2/10. The site's critical consensus reads: "Mechanical animation and a less-than stellar script make The Clone Wars a pale shadow of George Lucas' once great franchise."[35] This constituted the lowest Rotten Tomatoes rating of any Star Wars film; all nine theatrical films ranged from 51% to 95% and the made-for-television Ewok films and the Star Wars Holiday Special garnered higher ratings, although their averages encompassed far fewer reviews.[36]
I strongly disagree with the Prequel Trilogy. Not because they’re really good movies (though I do have a “slight” soft spot for them. Mostly Ep 3) but because of “The Clone Wars”. If they are remade then “CW” won’t be Canon anymore.
Plus, the prequel trilogy has already long been integrated into the Star Wars lore. They can’t be ignored. Probably the dumbest choice they could’ve put on their list. It’s like they’re still living in the 2010 era when the prequels were more widely maligned and not in this decade where the prequels are more appreciated.
I agree, no reason to remake the prequels. It'll most likely end up being worse given Disney's recent track record
Honestly, even though Masters of the Universe is on here, I still overall like it. I don't think it does the original cartoon any justice, but I loved it as a kid, and I can now see the numerous flaws in it. Still, I enjoy it.
It's become a cult classic over the years. There's a little bit of elements from the original cartoon. However, it was mostly based on the toyline.
I still think it's a great movie!!! My childhood right there
@@jharri7908 Same here.
Its main problem is , that a large part of the movie plays on earth. The effects , costumes and even the few eternian sets were not that bad.
@@mountbuckekreative4044 True, true.
What's the point of remaking Silent Hill, Max Payne, Street Fighter and the Star Wars prequel trilogy? Because video game adaptations are better on the small screen rather than the big screen and the cartoons Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Rebels had already proved what the prequels were meant to be. Also, The Golden Compass shouldn't be on this list because the BBC/HBO adaptation had already got His Dark Materials right for goodness sake! That's not all, if Green Lantern is going to get a second chance on the big screen, why not have John Stewart instead of Hal Jordan?
Evening I regretted by buying Max Payne on DVD back in the day from Blockbuster and didn’t know how bad it was with negative reviews from fans since Netflix is bringing in the good movies and television series they should remade Max Payne to TV Series? or remade it with a new cast member that can play Max Payne
Even better have Alan Scott as the GL this time.
@@ShinyBurrito I hope so
The Phantom deserves a remake. It would be refreshing to introduce his character to today's generation.
Star Wars please no, God please no.
Golden Compass HAS been remade. A series called 'His Dark Materials' (the actual name of the book series) did the job really very well; which is especially impressive considering how batsh*t crazy, off the walls insane, the story gets as it goes on.
Ruth Wilson as Mrs. Coulter, in the HBO mini-series, is stellar!
I hope That The New Green Lantern movie, Will be based to Green Lantern: The First Flight The animated movie.
Golden Compass already has a remake, the tv series “His Dark Materials”
Not the same!!! & I'd prefer Ian McKellen continue to voice Iorek Byrnison.
@@ZeldaSam1 it is the same, and it’s much better. Actually felt more like the books.
Number 1’s already been remade
“His dark martial” I was thinking the same thing. And I didn’t even watch the movie
I TRIED to watch it...too grim for me. Unless you have Ian McKellen voice Iorek Byrnison again, NO THANKS!!!
No remake of Star Wars.
You don't have to modernize the Green Hornet or the Shadow, the movies would stand out more if they took place in the eras the characters first debuted. Let's be honest, the fanbase does not want a remake of the Prequel Trilogy, a remake of the Star Wars sequel trilogy is a much better idea. Also, Golden Compass was already remade for HBO, it's called His Dark Materials so replace that with Water World because that's a movie that deserves another shot.
Seth Rogan SHAT ALL OVER the Green Hornet Franchise!!! & The Shadow was Perfect AS IS!!!
Martin Scorsese should remake Tommy Wiseau's The Room and have Daniel Day Lewis play Johnny, Leo DiCaprio as Mark, and Kate Winslet as Lisa
Hey, that would be interesting.
Oh, hi Mark!
Interesting. But with that cast, it'll be pretty expensive.
Waterworl would probably be good with cg. Nicolas cage, and Danny Devito as a Sea Turtle .
Worst Movies?!
С ума сошли?!
Catwoman deserves a remake with a talented creative team. 🎉
Steel, the Black Superman, sans Shaq
Except he should be someone on the level of Tony Stark, a technical genius. He single handedly created his suit working in the basement of his apartment building, and since has worked to upgrade his suit and equipment. As an example, his hammer is designed to hit with force proportional to the distance it is thrown (the further it flies the harder it hits). Also, he helped design the JLA Watchtower, making it possible for him to literally wear the Watchtower and use it as a weapon.
I won’t lie about the Prequel Trilogy’s flaws, but they’re the last films that need remade. I thoroughly enjoyed them, even the wooden parts of AOTC.
If anything they need to remake the Disney trilogy, they truly were a mess.
@@hetty100I enjoyed that trilogy, but that’s just me.
The fact is many of these movies don't deserve a we make because many of them were based off of books, comic books and video games and toylines. And they should be the way they are, not adaptations.
I respectfully disagree that properties based on other media shouldn't be brought to the big/small screen. The problem is that they take it too far afield of the source material, and sometimes they try to cram too much into a single movie. I'm of the opinion if you are going to do it, do it right or don't do it at all.
That was one of the problems with "Green Lantern." They didn't give Hal Jordan time to develop as a hero. He went from being a rookie to being a full Green Lantern in a very short time. The movie should have shown him mastering the Power Ring and facing a minor Green Lantern villain, someone like Black Hand.
At least Deadpool traveled back in time and killed Ryan Reynolds when he was selected for Green Lantern. “You’re welcome Canada!”
Oh, lord, Pearl Harbor. I went to that with a guy I had very recently started dating. The movie was my pick. Throughout the whole thing I just kept whispering to him, “I’m sorry. I am so sorry.” It was the worst!
Love or hate them,
The prequels really don’t need to be given any newer look.
Yes they have a lot of flaws, but it still managed to accomplish what it was meant to do.
We learned how Obi Wan became a trainer, we learned how Boba Fett became a bounty hunter, and we got probably the best origin story for the Empire that could ever be put together
The prequels certainly had their issues. But at least they had a consistent original story from beginning to end. The sequels had no idea where their story was going, which included constant retcons to Rey's lineage, among other things. Also didnt help that Force Awakens was nothing more than a shameless remake of A New Hope.
Whatever you do, DO NOT TOUCH THE STAR WAR PREQUELS!
Star War sequels deserve a remake even morethan prequels.
Bring the Thrawn Trilogy by Zahn to life!
I have spoken.
This is the way
Yes !! Preach brother !! It was such a wasted opportunity that they skipped over the Thrawn trilogy only to bring us the trashfire we got in it's place.
No, the sequel trilogy is done. You can’t always get what you want in life and the toxic behavior towards Star Wars has got to stop
The Thrawn Trilogy by Timothy Zahn was far superior in every way. It definitely deserved better than to be removed from canon. In my mind, it is the true sequel trilogy.
@@ent0m0l0gist I think most of the now legend books were more interesting than what they did with the sequels but Thrawn and Zahn's books were classic and should have stayed canon.
The Golden Compass was remade recently. His Dark Materials on HBO MAX was the most accurate adaptation of the books. Including the fist fight with God lol
Far from acurate, but definitely better than the film!
The disrespect for HE-Man and Spawn is pretty sad
Spawn had some awesome performances. Mostly let down by terrible CGI and a messy script, but I still like it
I admit Spawn had awful CGI BUT THAT'S THE WORST OF IT!!!
Spawn and Ghost Rider don’t need remakes the two of them are absolutely perfect the way they are.
"Perfect" is a little too much but I have to say, John Leguizamo is absolutely AMAZING in Spawn, he steals every single scene, brilliant actor!
Come on, stop it! Silent Hill, both parts, are very cool, scary, awesome and very very tight. Pity they never made the last third part.
The first film was below average at best and Revelations was grade-A dogshit.
Besides, Christophe Gans is making a new Silent Hill film based directly on the Silent Hill 2 game.
So long as they have an actual competent scriptwriter this time round, they get something special out of it.
It's funny how you say that The Shadow needs to be grounded like Batman when Batman's entire existence was plagiarized from The Shadow.
Batman also borrowed elements from Zorro. I'm not to familiar with The Shadow, but another character who seems similar is The Sandman (Wesley Dodds), who uses a gas to put criminals to sleep (thus the name "Sandman)."
Golden Compass already got a solid, more accurate remake via the BBC and HBO.
For Green Lantern, it was adapting almost 3 stories into a movie. Parallax being space diarrea didn't work either.
I agree. To me, Ryan Reynolds was the wrong choice to play Hal Jordan. Jordan has to be played by someone who is completely confident. He needs to be the type of person who can jump out of a plane...and then worry about how he will survive. He's not someone who is so unsure of himself. Story wise, they should have opted for a smaller level story for the first movie, not one featuring a universe-level danger.
The dcu led by James Gunn and Peter are making a live action lanterns tv series
Maybe Christopher Nolan could be the right film director for Pearl Harbor remake. He has a great directing for practical effects! He directed Dunkirk, an epic historical war movie based on a true story. So maybe directing Pearl Harbor would be a great idea.
At least the Prequels ended strongly, the Sequels.....yeesh 😂
No more remakes, please.
Personally I thoroughly enjoyed Green Lantern, so that's at least one person who liked it.
Green Lantern deserves to be remaked
Thanks for interesting and valuable video as always 😂😂😂
The Golden Compass has been remade as a TV Series on MAX. It's called His Dark Materials and there are three seasons.
I liked THE GREEN HORNET, but I definitely think a remake would be better. Also, THE LONE RANGER is severely underrated and is my favorite Western film ever. Armie Hammer’s acting is not dull and Johnny Depp is great as Tonto.
I mean No Disrespect But who's bright idea was It to give Seth rogen
The role of The green Hornet He Just doesn't have The capabilities of being an Action Hero I Can think of 3 Actors who could of potentially Played the Green Hornet As For The lone Ranger Johnny deep Should Played The Ranger because He's Very Charismatic
@@jalenikezeue4114 you are right on all of this.
@@CodyFairlessLee who do you think should Be the green Hornet
The star wars Prequels made this list but not the abominations that disney shit out? Yeah, okay.. the prequel are actually original and entertaining.
The sequel series feels like a lazy cash grab by nostalgia baiting fans with basically a redone version of the OG trilogy.
Green Lantern was teased so much in the Arrowverse and we didn't even get that. He probably would have worked in that universe but all we got for the most part was a bunch of easter eggs.
The book "Eragon" was great! The movie was awful and a terrible adaption! They didn't even have the elves in it!
Terminator Salvation.
Not a terrible movie, but it could've been great given it's concept, setting, and material to work from. It's arguably the most original sequel in the franchise since T2, and it deserves to be a more impactful addition in the franchise. The idea of John Connor running around fighting terminators in the future has to be explored more, and executed in a way that wows us
Truth is, we don’t need to remake the classics, but we should try to remake movies that at first didn’t succeed
no, we should not remake films in general. take up scripts that were abandoned. RE-RELEASE the films with restored scenes, different edit to make it better, not re do the whole thing, as it is WORSE than before
Green Lantern, Jonah Hex, Catwoman, Ghost Rider, they all deserve a second chance. Give the creative power to anyone but the movie studio execs.
They really got to do their own cinematic universe of Dick Tracy, The Shadow, phantom, and The Rocketeer
They should put Disney’s live action Pinocchio on the list
I wonder if A Troll in Central Park would fit the list.
Considering how people hate remakes, I doubt even these movies would get remakes.
13:42 and I believe Megan Fox should be given a second chance. I feel like an all female cast like Birds of Prey. She doesn’t have to be the lead, but a supportive side character!
They were trying to make Pearl Harbor like Titanic, but it didn’t work out and there’s some other movies that are bad that should be remake and they need to stop remaking, good movies and making them bad
The fact that they intended Celine Dion to sing the song instead of Faith Hill confirms it.
The worst part about Alexander was Angelina Jolies unconvincing acting, if they had someone more suited like Helen Mirren or Monica Bellucci in the role, it would have been a much better film.
Also if they remake Spawn, they should keep the same design for the devil, but just render and animate him well
Despite what everyone says, I personally enjoy Spawn, The Green Hornet, The Lone Ranger, Ghost Rider, Jonah Hex, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, the Star Wars prequel trilogy and Green Lantern (mostly because of the animation of the constructs and Mark Strong as Sinestro).
Imagine LXG telling the story of each character from their perspective throughout a 10+ episode TV series, and then bringing them all together for the climax of the season finale, something that could work as a 1 season only TV show but leave enough room for a second season if the first season's story is done enough justice, given the privilege, I'd love for the story to bridge the different cultures by bringing in writers from each of the global territories the story could go, it would bring a breath of fresh air to the monotonous style of filmmaking we've been experiencing the past few years
The Shadow is fine the way it is.
Some movies are so bad that they don't deserve a remake. Just leave them alone.
No. No more remakes. Just find an original IP to do. Of all movies to be left alone in this list, it's Street Fighter, solely for Raul Julia's performance. I could see a new Green Hornet being done, but why? No one knew who he was then, no one will care now. And I say this as a fan of the movie.
I think the MAJOR issue with the Green Lantern is that they put way too much emphasis and effort into the effects that only half-delivered. They didn't think that the story was WAY too big to fill a single film, if they would have slowed the pacing and separated the story into two or three films it could have been better. The writing was so rushed and relied too heavily on rapid fire delivery to tell a complicated story. That doomed it to failure.
I'm glad "Eragon" is getting a Disney+ series. Hopefully, they'll get the story right this time. I'd also like see "Ella Enchanted" get a remake that's faithful to the book. And I know it's animated, but I would LOVE to see Disney remake "Wish" with its original elements (villainous couple, Starboy, a return to romance between the lead characters).
I think what makes me so mad about the Green Lantern movie. You got two perfectly casted characters with Mark Strong as Sinestro and Michael Clarke Duncan as Kilowog wasted.
Machinimia made the best version of Street Fighter I've ever seen.
Street Fighter:Assassin's Fist is not only true to the lore, they cast real martial artists in it. It's better than ANY version Hollywood has done.
I agree Golden Compass needs a remake. Maybe with a show so it's got more time to develop. Maybe a young Dafne Keen as Lyra. Ruth Wilson would make a great Mrs. Coulter. Even pull in James McAvoy as Asriel. Could put it on HBO. Could be great...
The Star Wars prequels don't need a remake as much as the Star Wars sequels do. Anything Disney Star Wars isn't even worthy of being flushed down my toilet except for maybe "Rogue One".
Street fighter is a fighting game not a beat em up game
The Star Wars prequels do not need to be remade. They are perfectly fine. Now, the last three Star Wars movies, those need to be destroyed and forgotten forever more!
Everyone bags on Green Lantern, but, CGI side, it's exactly the type of movie that everyone complained that the Snyder movies weren't. The characters are appropriately represented from the comics, it tells the story it wanted to without any plot holes and it's just a fun popcorn flick. Whenever someone tells me, "No, that movie was so bad," and I ask them to explain what was so bad about it (again, besides the CGI) no body can give me a decent explanation. "It... It's just bad."
But JCVD Street Fighter is not a worst movie at all. It already is the best movie ever made. And Space Ice agrees. Period.
Obscure fact: Nicolas Cage first read Ghost Rider comics when he was 8 and the rest is history.
The Prequels are fine as they are, their campiness and silliness have charm that compliments good writing. The sequels however, 8 and 9 especially, I don’t need to say anything more do I.
Edit: And Jonah Hex is cool, a remake would be acceptable if we saw more movies afterwards though
The sequel of Ghost Rider had bad writing.
The first one wasn't bad. Its sequel, on the other hand, suffered greatly.
Before you touch the prequels, which has made up the vast bulk of star wars cartoons and lore at this point, you redo those sequels because not only did they suck they are inconsequential; they’ve done nothing to move the story forward to the point that’s it’s been 5 years since the rise of sky walker and Disney still prefers to do shows about the past and clone wars
The Giver definitely needs to be remade. The trailer alone did the source material dirty
all the superheroes movies: no, we don’t need them.
13:52 -- having a subplot in a real life tragedy worked well for Titanic (1998), but not Pearl Harbor (2001).
Reason, Michael Bay as James Cameron is a master -- though a difficult one, to say the least.
I loved the shadow movie, it was the original Batman and bob caine, the creator of Batman may have gotten the idea of Batman itself from the shadow, it needs to be remade, it has so much potential
If I were a producer, I would be loathe to invest in any video game-based movie. In general, they just don't have a great track record.
The bad comic book movies mentioned should be remade, along with the radio shows Green Hornet and The Shadow.
No Star Wars can be remade, but filling in gaps with things like The Clone Wars and Rogue One is very doable.
Masters of the Universe with Dolph Lundgren was as good as it could be as a cartoon to movie adaptation.
Pearl Harbor didn't need to be made in the first place. It was unnecessary after movies like Tora! Tora! Tora!, From Here to Eternity, and other dramatic tales of that day. I'm sure someone will be telling the story of one of the most dramatic days in US history again.
"Green Hornet" is AWESOME!!!
Totally disagree with the SW Prequels. Agree with Green Lantern. Others, meh.
Pearl Harbor
Where do we begin with the stupidity
Having it cover from 1940 battle of Britain to the 1942 Doolittle raids?
Or the use of modern ships in the scenes?
Or the aircraft being able to do far beyond what they physically could do?
Or the crappy writing and actors?
Take your pick
I don't understand the number 1 honestly.... Like, His Dark Materials is a series sure, but definitely based on the same stories sooo... there already is a remake kind of??
On that note though for me I'd say 100%: Jumanji. Which is one of my absolute favourites of all time, and for so long I dreamed of seeing a Jumanji with modern day effects and possibilities... and then we got the 'new' Jumanji movies, which are SO far removed form the source material that I refused to even touch them. Give me a TRUE remake of that, not the exact same story, no-one can replace Robin Williams OBVIOUSLY, but something in the same vein and voice as the original, please and thank you.
it is not common for remakes to be better than the originals. Much like how rare it is for sequels to be better than the first movie.
1) 13:53 Pearl Harbor? Which aspect do you want to remake?
a) Battle of Britain-Already done by the British and quite well. You want American actors to fake British accents?
b) Pearl Harbor attack-Already done in Tora Tora Tora and the best aspect of this film was the use of character actors. No A list actors, no romance, just the facts.
c) Doolittle Raid-done in Thirty Seconds over Tokyo. The one down fall of this movie, is 40% of the movie is Ted Lawson telling his wife "I Love You" to which she replies "No, I Love You More", to which he replies "No, I Love You More", to which she replies "No, I Love You More", to which he replies "No, I Love You More", to which she replies "No, I Love You More".
We get it Ted, you love your wife. Next.
2) The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen-I really liked this flick, but the Nautilus didn't get the love it truly deserved.
What do I want a remake of? Tales of the Gold Monkey. The two hour pilot of this short lived TV series was excellent, but had errors. The last scene in the pilot opened the possibility of an advanced pre-Younger Dryas civilization and that is one of several aspects that could be explored in a movie trilogy, like Jake's days as a Flying Tiger pilot, why his mechanic was an alky (PTSD?), German meddling in the South Pacific (stolen gold? hidden advanced lab?), etc.
I think the Spawn movie was just awful. They really need to do a remake, because that first one is painful to even watch.
If Disney ever decides to remake The Prequel Trilogy, THEY WILL FUCK IT UP. Please for the love of all good things and holy……JUST DON’T
Let’s get something straight. “The Shadow” is not a dud. Out of all the titles in the unofficial “Pulp ‘90” canon, which is comprised of stuff like “Dick Tracy”, “Brenda Starr” and “The Phantom”, it’s the most entertaining next to “Dick Tracy”.
Yogi Bear (2010) I Know Yogi Boo Boo and the Hanna Barbera library of characters are enjoying a resurgence In MAX's Jellystone (2021-) but I want another Yogi Bear movie completely Animated and someone creative behind the camera to make a distinct take on Hanna Barbera's former mascot
A remake of the 13th Warrior would be great. I love the movie, it's one of my favorites, but the book was amazing. Plus, Antonio Bandares as a Middle Easterner was quite a bit of a stretch.
