Stepford’s Wives (2004)
Classic camp is underrated Stepford and his wife Katharine Ross plays a housewife who is drawn to the seemingly idyllic town of Stephen, but behind it lies a darker truth. Ironic and scathing, the film is a prime example of the subversive urban horror genre, which uses real-life scenes and exaggerates them for dramatic purposes.
However, the 2004 remake was a silly, overblown story that never knew what it wanted to be. It recorded the same timbre as the original, but could not get it back and it was considered a fake instead. There are some great elements — mainly Glenn Close’s wild performance — but they’re not enough to elevate the finished product.
Hong newspaper (2006)
The famous comedian Steve Martin has had a career many other actors would like to have. However, he is not safe from regular fools. 2006 Pink Panther It was a failure. Martin is said to have been mistaken for the bumbling Inspector Crusoe, turning his antics into more lunatic ones as a result of incompetence and absent-mindedness.
The Peter Sellers image is interesting because the actor never made Crusoe an object of ridicule. The 2006 remake uses the cheapest humor possible, squandering Martin’s immense comedic sensibilities on silly plots that demand nothing from audiences and get nothing in return.
Godzilla (1998)
Godzilla has been the star of many movies, nearly all of which portray him in a positive light. Godzilla is not a villain; that’s the closest thing to a villain. the years 1998 god zilla Do not understand the characters, it shows. The film portrays it as a full-fledged monster trying to ensure the survival of its descendants.
Removing Japanese elements from the story of Godzilla is the worst idea possible. The film also interprets Godzilla as a dinosaur — inspired by Jurassic Park Movies, certainly — not man-made monsters.
Ben-Hur (2016)
Charlton Heston became a cinematic icon for his performance in 1959 Hur . Wharfmother of all cinematic epics. The film was a remake of the 1925 silent film based on the 1880 novel by Lou Wallace . Ben-Hur: The Story of Christ.
The 2016 remake lacks the grandeur that made the original a classic. It seems small and unimportant, even an afterthought. Hur . Wharf Very disappointingly, even with the addition of CGI, its chariot racing scenes pale in comparison to the original. The film faltered at the box office, derailing the once-promising careers of Jack Huston and Toby Kebbel.
Around the World in 80 Days (2004)
1956 adaptation of Jules Verne’s 1973 classic Around the world in 80 days “Cantinflas” stars David Niven and Mexican legend Mario Moreno. This ambitious epic has won five Oscars, including Best Picture, and even if its reputation isn’t the best, it’s still an interesting and impressive technical achievement.
The 2004 remake lacked any of the style and personality of the original. Satisfied with cheap jokes and sick jokes, 2004 Around the world in 80 days It’s ridiculous and exhausting. Not even a series of cameos that include Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kathy Bates, and the Wilson brothers can’t save it from being an idiot who doesn’t add anything new to the story.
The Mummy (2017)
the years 1999 Mummies It’s the perfect summer blockbuster. It’s fun, fast-paced, exciting, and stars the captivating Brendan Fraser. Already a remake of the 1932 Boris Karloff supernatural horror film, 1999 version Mummies Surprisingly, adapted the story into an epic adventure, thus making it more accessible and even funnier.
In contrast, in 2017 Mummies predictable, boring, and has a pointless plot that becomes silly in a minute. Even the undeniable star power of Tom Cruise and Russell Crowe couldn’t save it from the mess it ended up in. Mummies Too bad it single-handedly ended Universal’s burgeoning Dark Universe, showing audiences didn’t like its pointless action sequences.
Women (2008)
Introduced in 1939, George Cukor women Almost breakthrough. Starring two of MGM’s most famous actors, Norma Shearer and Joan Crawford, this all-female cast explores the female dynamic with humor and wit. It may seem outdated today, but it was a near-perfect product in its day.
The 2008 remake, on the other hand, failed as a comedy and commentary on modern women’s relationships. The content parodies the plot of the original without any humor or wit, resulting in a lazy and boring film that damages the reputation of the original instead of glorifying it. Needless to say, Eva Mendes is not Joan Crawford.
Go Out (2002)
Madonna is a great entertainer, one of the best in history. She is irresistible and energetic on stage, conquering the stage with her deep and captivating voice. However, she is not an actress. Guy Ritchie’s pathetic remake of the 1974 Italian romance film drift Suffice it to say, Material Girl was cast as a spoiled wife who wanders on a deserted island with a handsome Italian sailor.
The original generated enough controversy thanks to its seemingly unsuitable approach to women and its outspoken commentary on class struggle and war. The remake removes the sociopolitical context and makes things worse by turning the story into a semi-erotic work.
Planet of the Apes (2001)
At the dawn of the new millennium, Tim Burton rode the waves following a critically acclaimed series like Wood Ed And empty sleepyHowever, the director has gone far from his signature blend of gothic and eccentric to direct this big-budget sci-fi film. planet of monkeys. His efforts to broaden his horizons have backfired.
original planet of monkeysStarring Charlton Heston and Roddy McDowall, it’s a classic of the sci-fi genre and has one of the best endings in cinematic history. Burton’s work is an exaggerated, borderline absurd story with a ridiculously lousy performance by Mark Wahlberg and a ludicrous ending that makes M. Night Shyamalan roll his eyes.
Psychology (1998)
by Alfred Hitchcock Mental is the ultimate psychological thriller. A suspenseful masterpiece, arguably the best modern thriller, Mental One of the most influential films in history. It is still appreciated by critics and fans alike, often imitated but never matched.
There really isn’t a need for a near-perfect remake, let alone a shot-by-scene replica. Gus Van Sant is unnecessary Mental Nothing new was included in the film; no new angle, no new angle. This movie is a clone without the innovation or fun of the original. Also, while Vince Vaughn’s performance was certainly unsettling, he wasn’t Anthony Perkins.
