Some of those are really great(Cinderella), some are not bad, but only okay(lion king), and others are just horrible(Kim possible😬)it just depends on which one.
I wouldn't include Annie on this list. Critics didn't like it, but audiences did, as it ended up making $20 million over its budget domestically, and an additional $50 million overseas.
It's astounding just how well Psycho has aged. The moment Norman Bates appears on screen he becomes the most fascinating character in the movie. If the movie ages well does it really need a remake?
Exactly. Just like many of the 70s to early 90s horror movies don't need remakes. High definition ruins a lot of them. That unclear video tmfrom back then hid surprises and people better. Just like with psychos black and white footage adding to the ambiance.

WatchMojo missed one more. The original Child's Play (1988) vs Child's Play (2019). For me, the original one is more spine chilling and terrifying than the 2019 remake.
The Witches (2020) - the witches (1990) Clash of the titans (2010) - clash of the titans (1981) Annie (2014) - Annie (1982) Godzilla (2014) - Godzilla (1954) King Kong (2005) - King Kong (1933) Charlie and the chocolate factory (2005) - willy wonka and the chocolate factory (1971) The karate kid (2010) - the karate kid (1984) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014) - teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) The Amazing Spider Man franchise (2012-2014) - Sam raibies Spider man trilogy (2002-2007)
Films/film series that shouldn’t be rebooted/remade: - Back to the Future - The Princess Bride - The Shawshank Redemption - Pulp Fiction - Citizen Kane - The Godfather - Casablanca - The Lord of the Rings
Lord of the rings would make an awesome family animated film series though, kinda like how to train your dragon. Other than that, there’s no good reason to reboot it at all
I love Carrie (1976) but NO WAY it is "widely regarded as one of the scariest movies of all time". How? It's very barely a horror. It;s 90% a drama that has horror themes in the last 15 minutes, but even then you're on Carrie's side so her revenge is more satisfying than scary.
It seems that remakes and reboots of classic horror movies are almost always disastrous. The main reason why I thought 2013 Evil Dead remake and the 2018 Halloween reboot were going to suck even though they didn't.
The 2013 Evil Dead shocked me . I put off watching it for years because I thought for sure it would suck , but it was great. The 2018 Halloween on the other hand was TERRIBLE and I can't wait for that franchise to be killed off.
texas chainsaw massacre remake is also great in the same way Snyder’s Dawn is. Obviously neither are as good as the original but they both bring a unique take and style which you can’t say for most remakes, reboots or requels.
Well, the 1959 Ben-Hur was itself ALSO a remake of a 1925 movie that featured an epic chariot race and sea battle. And there was also a 1908 version before that. Some of the classic stories that existed before film aren't so much reboots as "a retelling." I don't like reboot-mania either, but things like Shakespeare plays, Charles Dickens stories, Biblical stories, etc. do fall into a different category. It's kind of like with Christmas music and how multiple singers do their own Christmas album and thus each have versions of the same song. It's a lot different than a contemporary song sung by two different singers causing people to get upset that so-and-so is copying so-and-so (not necessarily on copyright grounds, but on lack of creativity).
I was actually impressed with the remake of Carrie. I thought it was very good. Obviously its not as iconic as the original, but the remake wasn't crap either. At lease in my opinion 👍
The kill for her bully had me feel a tad bit sorry for her, in a way. But then I remembered that she almost ran carrie over and humiliated her to cause all of that to happen.
I'm young enough that even the 1998 Psycho was "before my time" so (while I saw the original version first) it wasn't a "new" movie to me...but I STILL found it ridiculous and unnecessary. Psycho (1960) is one of those rare movies that even 60+ years later is still excellent very very effective. I think there are some classic movies (especially those that are adapted from novels) where due to censorship, budgetary restrictions, lack of ability to create certain effects etc could be remade and be amazing, there are also some - and Psycho (1960) is very much one of them - that just need to be left alone.
Planet of the Apes (2001) did not have a "new twist ending". It had the same ending as the book that both movies are based on. I agree the whole Apereham Lincoln thing didn't make sense, but it is the OG ending.
You guys forgot overboard. The chemistry between Goldie Hawn and kurt Russell just can't be replicated. And the remake with anna Faris no one asked for and has been forgotten and swept under the rug.
Charlie’s Angels, Shaft, Fame, Blair Witch (even if it follows after the original, it still feels like a cheap remake), The Lion King, Flatliners, and Ghostbusters (2016) should have made the list as well.
The 1998 version of Psycho was a complete waste of time and money. Making a shot-for-shot of a classic film is something that a film student would do to study the techniques of a master, not something to distribute to theaters and expecting people to pay money to see it.
Thought The "Karate" Kid (2010) would've made the list. That movie was so uncalled for and a slap in the face of the original. Glad Cobra Kai is rectifying things.
I do enjoyed the 2016 remake of "Ben-Hur" but I always consider the EPIC 1959 Oscar-Winning film starring the legendary Charlton Heston as my all time favorite!
Kudos on including "Arthur" in this list. The original has a very special place in my heart (and my wife's :D). The remake was indeed unnecessary if not laughable in the most embarrassing way.
I really like and defend the 2013 version of Carrie. Sure it wasn't as different from the original as it could've been thanks to the reshoots, but there's a lot there that is more faithful to the book and works better like the secondary characters. Yeah it's flawed and the original is a better film overall, but I still enjoy that movie a lot, I wish we could mix the qualities of both of them to make the perfect Carrie movie adaptation since it's my favorite Stephen King book.
And in the 2013 version you got the feeling that Carrie and her mother actually loved each other to where the ending is really heartfelt. Here's a frightening thought... What if Carrie really was born evil what if she was something like the Antichrist and her mother knew it kind of like devil's advocate? Who would we side with then?
West Side Story (2021) isn’t a remake. It’s just another adaptation of the 1957 Broadway musical. What is it with you people seeing another adaptation of a source material that was previously filmed and just automatically getting the word “remake” into your brains?
The way the list was headed, I was curious the remake of House of Wax with Paris Hilton would make it. Honestly, you could make a dozen iterations on this topic.
Apart fom Paris being in it and doing nothing as usual i really liked that one it genuinely had a creepy atmosphere and good story for a teen horror early 2000's flick i even rewatched it a couple of times (ignoring paris hilton's part as we should)
As a teen, I watch the original Carrie. I was scared of that shit for a while. And then this remake makes me hate the remade line way too much. Some can be good, but this one is bad, it somehow turns from a horror movie to a comedy one. It's just bad, it's personally attached to my emotion.
I really wished The Mummy could've worked, and I personally don't hate it as much as the criticism that it received! It's not bad, nor as great as the Fraser Mummy movies.
2003 Chainsaw is FAR superior to the 70’s version in every way…it took a film solely set out to shock the audience and made it into a VERY creepy serial killer horror that is the blueprint for how to reboot a franchise as well as make a film truly scary!
the funny thing is that The NY Times actually rated Psycho(98) better than the 1960 original. Obviously 2 very different people, but it's still crazy to think about
One thing the omen remake did better than the original in my opinion was the death of Damian’s “mother” it was “at least to me” more chilling and also slightly more realistic
The Carrie, A Nightmare On Elm Street, Poltergeist, Total Recall, and Robocop remakes were all good and the Arthur remake was HILARIOUS. One of my favorite comedies.
Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates felt like an isolated man who just didn't interact much, especially with women. Vaughn's portrayal felt like he was about thirty seconds from a jump scare, sexual assault or something along those lines. He hid his madness about as well as Jack Nicholson in the Shining. (Great movie, but Jack constantly looked ready to go total slasher movie the whole time)
Here's my own top 20 movie reboots and remakes that nobody asked for. 20. The Black Hair (2019) 19. The Green Girl (2011) 18. The Beast Bombs (2014) 17. Cobra Lung (2018) 16. Civil War (2013) 15. The Flying Skipper (2019, Disney live action) 14. the enchanted book (2022) 13. Son Of The Demon (2021) 12. The Girl with the black hood (2014) 11. Red Horns (2016) 10. The Black Pirate (2019) 9. Tonebillar (2014) 8. Return of the Mutants (1997) 7. Azzland (2021) 6. Escape To Hell (2015) 5. Battles & Beasts (2022) 4. Sparky the cat (2021, CGI reboot) 3. Air Force (2008) 2. Flight man (2022) 1. I, Demon (2017)
of course everybody already mentioned the abysmal Ghostbusters - “you get a car! and you get a car! and you get a car!” but let’s not forget The Thing (2011), which was cleverly disguised as a prequel, but ended up being another shitty remake
I actually liked a number of these, even though of course they couldn't be as good as the original, sometimes seeing an alternative take on the same story can yield different advantages even if it ends up with different numerous disadvantages. For example, the Carrie remake felt more satisfying a third act to me by upping the amount of carnage and directing it more towards the characters that deserved it.
I'll give you all of these...except the Texas Chainsaw remake. This one doesn't belong on here. It was solid. And I'll add that if you're focusing a lot on horror remakes here, then Friday the 13th (2009) should be on here as well.
Lina Wertmüller, the director of the original Swept Away, was upset about the remake. Adriano Giannini, who's in the remake, is the son of Giancarlo Giannini, who was in the original.
As long as we have the holiday of Halloween, we're going to get Halloween remakes, even if some of them end up being flops because SOMEONE wants to try something 'Fresh & Exciting' and they don't have the creative talent to back it up. Some directors/ writers have talent, yes, but it's more about the money. " 'Plot A worked great back then, let's make the same one with better graphics. I bet we'll make even more money.' 'But the last time someone redid a movie, everyone hated it.' 'This'll be better, trust me.' " And this, my friends, is why the lesson will never be learned. Directors confident that their remake will do better than another that failed. They want that money.
I actually like RoboCop, Carrie, the Texas chain saw mascara and A Nightmare on elm Street ( also where was Child's play 2019 that movie shouldn't have been Made!)
Same! I honestly believe that the 2013 version needs as much love as the original. The 2002 TV movie adaptation’s special and visual effects are what you’d expect from a TV movie, but I don’t think they’re that bad, nor is that remake itself.
I really don't understand the hatred towards The Nightmare On Elm Street movie. As a huge fan of the original run of movies, I thought it was refreshing to get a new take on the character - It's not a perfect movie by any means but people seem to hate on it way harder that it deserves. That 'Did you know that after the heart stops beating, the brain can function for well over 7 minutes? We got 6 more minutes to play!' is still chilling to this day.
I'm glad Back to the Future, Splash, Chariots of Fire, Summer School, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Risky Business, Flashdance, Tootsie, Kramer vs. Kramer, Annie Hall, Saturday Night Fever, Grease, Jesus Christ Superstar, Godspell, Cocktail, Platoon, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Full Metal Jacket, Patton, Gandhi, Bridge on the River Kwai, The Princess Bride, Mrs. Doubtfire and Breakin' are not remade by Hollywood and I hope they never will. I hope Hollywood will leave those intact or else they will be ruined like they did to Footloose, Fame, The Karate Kid, Arthur and Ben Hur.
Here are the Top 10 Worst Disney Live-Action remakes: 10) Cruella 9) Lady and the Tramp 8) Cinderella 7) Alice in Wonderland 6) Beauty and the Beast 5) Aladdin 4) The Lion King 3) Dumbo 2) Maleficent 1) Mulan
Cruella, Cinderella, and Beauty and the Beast AREN'T the worst Disney live-action adaptation remake/adaptations, as these were good and decent movies at all.
Alice through the looking glass was way worse than the first movie, that's what i call unnecessary at least the first one was fun and coherent, Aladdin and maleficent also worked for me i enjoyed it for what they are for the rest of your list i agree completely
@@indra95ify And don't even get it started with Maleficent: Mistress of Evil; and like Alice Through The Looking Glass, those sequels were worst than its original predecessors and were even lower on quality.
@@ajpat9620 couldn't agree more, i saw them both just because the previous ones were enjoyable, i wasn't amused by them to say the least. Bad writing, fan service, too many plots, incoherent and the list goes on
@@indra95ify That being said, those aforementioned live-action sequels towards its original predecessors tend to have bad yet worse ratings and it's not hard to see why, and those bad ratings for Alice Through The Looking Glass and Maleficent: Mistress of Evil speak for itself. Like, sequels to live-action adaptations tend to give it a bad name and it really shows.
I loved the Nightmare on Elm Street reboot lol it was good and the sound mixing was epic. Honestly I'm glad I never saw Tim Burton's POTA reboot cause the most recent ones are actually really good especially because of the technology used to make those films was crazy cool and Andy Serkis is brilliant at what he does. They didn't mention it but I also love the newest Alien films they're just as terrifying but I wish Segourney Weaver would come back although she's still working on the Avatar films.
@@msnewsenior I take it your parents communicated through a series of clicks and grunts. I'm astonished, When did you first obtain the use of civilized language? Sources want to know.... Pull your panties out
I might be one of the few who liked Johnny depp's version way better than the original, it's a childhood classic for me i was underwhelmed by the original for some reason i just found wonka too creepy in that one (as he should be i know it just didn't click with me as a child)
If you set aside the RoboCop reboot as just a movie on its own and not a reboot, it's not that bad. If you compare it to the original, then yeah it's bad lol. I'm hoping they continue trying to make the Dark Universe, because that could be awesome. All the great horror icons in rated R horror movies, building up to Dracula. Then have one final film with all the monsters together, kinda like an updated, more mature The Monster Squad movie. That movie is so good btw...I love The Monster Squad.
The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre is boring and poorly acted and written. The 2003 remake is genuinely scary, well written and well acted. It's infinitely better than the original and I'll die on that hill.
I will never watch another version of Footloose. Kevin Bacon and all the rest of the cast are not to be replaced. It's one of the best movies of the 80's IMO.
It’s unwatchable crap so who cares. The book also has the apes living in a futuristic city. Thats not in the remake, so what’s you’re point. Im a Burton fan but i couldn’t even make it till the end it was so terrible.
Where ist Taxi, Ghostbusters, girl with dragon tattoo, intouchebles, etc. You completely missed the "we now need an american (all female) version of this.
THANK YOU, WatchMojo! THANK YOU for not mentioning Conan The Barbarian (2011). I loved that movie!!! 🤘🤘 P.S: Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) should not be here.

Well the good thing about Burton's planet of the Apes is that it would, in my opinion, push for the Rise, Dawn, and War for the planet of the Apes.
Agreed. Because those were solid movies
The Rise of the Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.
Let’s be honest, the “Cesar trilogy” is a way better remake-spin off of Planet of the Apes.
I've only seen the first one but I'd love to see the rest. I enjoyed it; of course I've never seen the original or the 2000nds remake.

Charlie’s Angels, Shaft, Fame, Blair Witch (even if it follows after the original, it still feels like a cheap remake), The Lion King, Flatliners, and Ghostbusters (2016) should have made the list as well.
Yeah, this list needs a sequel. As opposed to a remake :-P
Definitely Lion King considering it’s just the Psycho remake 2.0.
I liked Shaft. That one doesn’t belong here. If anything its better than the original.
I wasn’t referring of the one from 2000. I was talking about the one from 2019.
The 1998 version of Psycho was a complete waste of time and money. Making a shot-for-shot of a classic film is something that a film student would do to study the techniques of a master, not something to distribute to theaters and expecting people to pay money to see it.
No matter how many new versions they make, Carol Ann's "They're Here!" will live forever!!!
Fun fact: Heather Langenkamp went from Scream Queen in A Nightmare on Elm Street to being a big time special effects coordinator.
I knew Psycho (1998) would be at the number 1 spot since Alfred Hitchcock is rolling in his grave by now!
Remaking any films of Alfred Hitchcock would be a disaster and a folly.
So, Rob Zombie's Halloween didn't made the list. . . I still think Halloween 78 should of been left alone.
Thought The "Karate" Kid (2010) would've made the list. That movie was so uncalled for and a slap in the face of the original. Glad Cobra Kai is rectifying things.
yeah
So weird that 'The wicker man 1973' still holds the test of time. You feel such an unease during the movie. And what an ending!!! Broke my heart!
I do enjoyed the 2016 remake of "Ben-Hur" but I always consider the EPIC 1959 Oscar-Winning film starring the legendary Charlton Heston as my all time favorite!
I'm still trying to find it so I can finally see it again. I was so young the first time, I barely remember it.
Did you see the Ben Hur miniseries?
Kudos on including "Arthur" in this list. The original has a very special place in my heart (and my wife's :D). The remake was indeed unnecessary if not laughable in the most embarrassing way.
They forgot to mention that “Conan the Barbarian” was also rebooted. It was crap, of course.
These reboots suck not because no one asked for it, they suck because of the executions.
And they were completely un needed
Real answer: All of Them
Bro you just posted a cringe comment!
Nobody cares
@@InsideOutRulesEntertainment What are you like 7? Go take a nap kiddo.
@@BigFella117 except for you two commenting, that possibly could have been true 😅
I really like and defend the 2013 version of Carrie. Sure it wasn't as different from the original as it could've been thanks to the reshoots, but there's a lot there that is more faithful to the book and works better like the secondary characters. Yeah it's flawed and the original is a better film overall, but I still enjoy that movie a lot, I wish we could mix the qualities of both of them to make the perfect Carrie movie adaptation since it's my favorite Stephen King book.
And in the 2013 version you got the feeling that Carrie and her mother actually loved each other to where the ending is really heartfelt. Here's a frightening thought... What if Carrie really was born evil what if she was something like the Antichrist and her mother knew it kind of like devil's advocate? Who would we side with then?
There are certain classics that should NEVER be rebooted/remade
And occasionally some of them are and the remake is actually pretty good, not necessarily better than the original but still good
@@jakealter5504 Amen.
West Side Story is another classic that shouldn’t have been remade either
West Side Story (2021) isn’t a remake. It’s just another adaptation of the 1957 Broadway musical. What is it with you people seeing another adaptation of a source material that was previously filmed and just automatically getting the word “remake” into your brains?
Thanks you for your video and channel
Kenneth Branagh's Poirot franchise also counts.
Totally agree. The Downey Sherlock Holmes films too. Appalling.
The way the list was headed, I was curious the remake of House of Wax with Paris Hilton would make it.
Honestly, you could make a dozen iterations on this topic.
Apart fom Paris being in it and doing nothing as usual i really liked that one it genuinely had a creepy atmosphere and good story for a teen horror early 2000's flick i even rewatched it a couple of times (ignoring paris hilton's part as we should)
Keep it up on your work and this video and channel
You DO know they'll never stop making Robin Hood movies, right?
-West Side Story
-Charlie's Angels
-Resident Evil
-Karate Kid
As a teen, I watch the original Carrie. I was scared of that shit for a while. And then this remake makes me hate the remade line way too much. Some can be good, but this one is bad, it somehow turns from a horror movie to a comedy one. It's just bad, it's personally attached to my emotion.
Chloë Grace Moretz did a good job playing Carrie. Amen. The 2013 version is my favorite. Enough said.
I really wished The Mummy could've worked, and I personally don't hate it as much as the criticism that it received! It's not bad, nor as great as the Fraser Mummy movies.
I am surprised The Karate Kid 2010 is not on the list.
Planet of the Apes 2001: 👎
Planet of the Apes trilogy 2011-17: 👍
you all should make a list like this for television shows
Remaking psycho, the omen and carrie was the biggest waste of time. Ever.
Disappointed that “taxi” didn’t make the list. Luc besson’s original was pitch perfect.
2003 Chainsaw is FAR superior to the 70’s version in every way…it took a film solely set out to shock the audience and made it into a VERY creepy serial killer horror that is the blueprint for how to reboot a franchise as well as make a film truly scary!
Agreed
While I agree that the 2003 remake is a damn good and effective horror movie I don't know if I can call it better than the original.
OK not more superior than the OG but the 03 it was pretty good
the funny thing is that The NY Times actually rated Psycho(98) better than the 1960 original. Obviously 2 very different people, but it's still crazy to think about
One thing the omen remake did better than the original in my opinion was the death of Damian’s “mother” it was “at least to me” more chilling and also slightly more realistic
Didn't't like mom falling through the roof of an ambulance and the doors opening up? it was kind of hokey.
Sydney Prescott: Don’t f*** with the original
THEY REMADE NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET!?
I don’t know why HellBoy needed a remake but I hate it. I love the original
You can add the the taking of Pelham 123 to the list. the remake lacked the grit and grime of the 1974 version.
Totally agree.
Andrew Garfield should play Norman Bates...
Totally amazing video watch mojo,marvellous job and I love footloose both versions of it too.
I really liked the Harbour Hellboy. And Robin Hood '18 is pretty entertaining.
The Carrie, A Nightmare On Elm Street, Poltergeist, Total Recall, and Robocop remakes were all good and the Arthur remake was HILARIOUS. One of my favorite comedies.
I feel so lucky that I didn’t know of any of these remakes
Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates felt like an isolated man who just didn't interact much, especially with women. Vaughn's portrayal felt like he was about thirty seconds from a jump scare, sexual assault or something along those lines. He hid his madness about as well as Jack Nicholson in the Shining. (Great movie, but Jack constantly looked ready to go total slasher movie the whole time)
You forgot every single live action Disney remake.

I’ve never heard of any these movies
I’m sure the firestarter remake will be on this down the road
of course everybody already mentioned the abysmal Ghostbusters - “you get a car! and you get a car! and you get a car!”
but let’s not forget The Thing (2011), which was cleverly disguised as a prequel, but ended up being another shitty remake
'disguised as a prequel'?
"A Freddy Krueger movie doesn't make sense without the involvement of actor Robert Englund" a wise and true statement.
I can already see the Train to Busan remake on a list like this.
Don’t think it will be good. But having Timo Tjahjanto directing it I’m a little hopeful it will be halfway watchable.
I actually liked a number of these, even though of course they couldn't be as good as the original, sometimes seeing an alternative take on the same story can yield different advantages even if it ends up with different numerous disadvantages. For example, the Carrie remake felt more satisfying a third act to me by upping the amount of carnage and directing it more towards the characters that deserved it.
Thank God, they didn't include Charlie and the Chocolate Factory this time around!!
I agree. They’ve already featured it on their similar lists that it’s just gotten old. Better to focus on other remakes and reboots instead.
I'll give you all of these...except the Texas Chainsaw remake. This one doesn't belong on here. It was solid.
And I'll add that if you're focusing a lot on horror remakes here, then Friday the 13th (2009) should be on here as well.
I ❤️ this video and channel
Lina Wertmüller, the director of the original Swept Away, was upset about the remake. Adriano Giannini, who's in the remake, is the son of Giancarlo Giannini, who was in the original.
As long as we have the holiday of Halloween, we're going to get Halloween remakes, even if some of them end up being flops because SOMEONE wants to try something 'Fresh & Exciting' and they don't have the creative talent to back it up. Some directors/ writers have talent, yes, but it's more about the money.
" 'Plot A worked great back then, let's make the same one with better graphics. I bet we'll make even more money.'
'But the last time someone redid a movie, everyone hated it.'
'This'll be better, trust me.' "
And this, my friends, is why the lesson will never be learned. Directors confident that their remake will do better than another that failed. They want that money.
I actually like RoboCop, Carrie, the Texas chain saw mascara and A Nightmare on elm Street ( also where was Child's play 2019 that movie shouldn't have been Made!)
Two others I might add are Pet Sematary and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Both were pretty unnecessary.
They’ve already featured Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on their other lists. They don’t need to repeat themselves on here.
I liked Carrie (2013) and it made me go back and watch the original which of course was great but I still think the remake was a solid update.
Same! I honestly believe that the 2013 version needs as much love as the original. The 2002 TV movie adaptation’s special and visual effects are what you’d expect from a TV movie, but I don’t think they’re that bad, nor is that remake itself.
@@Jeremiah_Rivers76 I do find that one enjoyable for what it was
"Reboots no one asked for"
I clicked immediately to see how high up the Star Wars sequel trilogy would be on this list
They're just sequels, they're not reboots.
I really don't understand the hatred towards The Nightmare On Elm Street movie. As a huge fan of the original run of movies, I thought it was refreshing to get a new take on the character - It's not a perfect movie by any means but people seem to hate on it way harder that it deserves.
That 'Did you know that after the heart stops beating, the brain can function for well over 7 minutes? We got 6 more minutes to play!' is still chilling to this day.
I'm glad Back to the Future, Splash, Chariots of Fire, Summer School, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Risky Business, Flashdance, Tootsie, Kramer vs. Kramer, Annie Hall, Saturday Night Fever, Grease, Jesus Christ Superstar, Godspell, Cocktail, Platoon, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Full Metal Jacket, Patton, Gandhi, Bridge on the River Kwai, The Princess Bride, Mrs. Doubtfire and Breakin' are not remade by Hollywood and I hope they never will. I hope Hollywood will leave those intact or else they will be ruined like they did to Footloose, Fame, The Karate Kid, Arthur and Ben Hur.
Here are the Top 10 Worst Disney Live-Action remakes:
10) Cruella
9) Lady and the Tramp
8) Cinderella
7) Alice in Wonderland
6) Beauty and the Beast
5) Aladdin
4) The Lion King
3) Dumbo
2) Maleficent
1) Mulan
Cruella, Cinderella, and Beauty and the Beast AREN'T the worst Disney live-action adaptation remake/adaptations, as these were good and decent movies at all.
Alice through the looking glass was way worse than the first movie, that's what i call unnecessary at least the first one was fun and coherent, Aladdin and maleficent also worked for me i enjoyed it for what they are for the rest of your list i agree completely
@@indra95ify And don't even get it started with Maleficent: Mistress of Evil; and like Alice Through The Looking Glass, those sequels were worst than its original predecessors and were even lower on quality.
@@ajpat9620 couldn't agree more, i saw them both just because the previous ones were enjoyable, i wasn't amused by them to say the least. Bad writing, fan service, too many plots, incoherent and the list goes on
@@indra95ify That being said, those aforementioned live-action sequels towards its original predecessors tend to have bad yet worse ratings and it's not hard to see why, and those bad ratings for Alice Through The Looking Glass and Maleficent: Mistress of Evil speak for itself.
Like, sequels to live-action adaptations tend to give it a bad name and it really shows.
Ghostbusters 2016 should be number 1
I loved the Nightmare on Elm Street reboot lol it was good and the sound mixing was epic. Honestly I'm glad I never saw Tim Burton's POTA reboot cause the most recent ones are actually really good especially because of the technology used to make those films was crazy cool and Andy Serkis is brilliant at what he does. They didn't mention it but I also love the newest Alien films they're just as terrifying but I wish Segourney Weaver would come back although she's still working on the Avatar films.
Yeah the nightmare on elm street movie was great...
Amen! Tired of this nightmare on elm street slander
@@zombiediet it was terrible, trash compared to the original
@@msnewsenior I take it your parents communicated through a series of clicks and grunts. I'm astonished, When did you first obtain the use of civilized language? Sources want to know.... Pull your panties out
@@msnewsenior of course it won't beat the original but it was still a decent movie
Very surprised that Depp’s “Willy Wonka…” wasn’t on this list. Perhaps in a similar future video.
i think there was definitely hype for it at the time and then it was kind of disappointing.
I might be one of the few who liked Johnny depp's version way better than the original, it's a childhood classic for me i was underwhelmed by the original for some reason i just found wonka too creepy in that one (as he should be i know it just didn't click with me as a child)
If you set aside the RoboCop reboot as just a movie on its own and not a reboot, it's not that bad. If you compare it to the original, then yeah it's bad lol.
I'm hoping they continue trying to make the Dark Universe, because that could be awesome. All the great horror icons in rated R horror movies, building up to Dracula. Then have one final film with all the monsters together, kinda like an updated, more mature The Monster Squad movie. That movie is so good btw...I love The Monster Squad.
The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre is boring and poorly acted and written.
The 2003 remake is genuinely scary, well written and well acted. It's infinitely better than the original and I'll die on that hill.
Keanu Reeves walking with that surfboard tho...smile
I will never watch another version of Footloose. Kevin Bacon and all the rest of the cast are not to be replaced. It's one of the best movies of the 80's IMO.
You ARE aware that the ending of Tim Burton's "Planet of the apes" is in fact how the original novel ends, right?
It’s unwatchable crap so who cares. The book also has the apes living in a futuristic city. Thats not in the remake, so what’s you’re point. Im a Burton fan but i couldn’t even make it till the end it was so terrible.
Where ist Taxi, Ghostbusters, girl with dragon tattoo, intouchebles, etc. You completely missed the "we now need an american (all female) version of this.
Men in Tights, the Robin hood Parody which was also really good laugh for its time.
THANK YOU, WatchMojo! THANK YOU for not mentioning Conan The Barbarian (2011). I loved that movie!!! 🤘🤘
P.S: Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) should not be here.
TCM 2022 should, though!
@@erikthompson619 Good one! 👍🤣
Shut up!🤦
