I can't stand them. They usually take something that I enjoyed the first time and bastardize it. The new Clash of the Titans for example pisses me off and I haven't even seen it. Clash of the Titans was the last film worked on by special effects wiz Ray Harryhausen. He was considered by most to be the greatest special effects artist to use clay models. He worked on the original King Kong, Mighty Joe Young, Jason and the Argonauts, The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad, etc. Now it's like they are spitting in the face of his life's work by saying we can do it much better and easier with computers.
What I never understood is why people don't take a movie that had a good idea that was poorly executed and improve upon it. Now that would make sense. Instead they decide to ruin the ones that already succeeded.
I liked the remake of Willard. Crispin Glover is really good in that movie. |
There is also the option of taking good movies that haven't aged well because of some significant flaw and re-master the movies to eliminate that flaw. An example of this would be to take Ladyhawk (a very good 80s movie that has awful 80s music in it) and replace the music with an orchestral score that suits the movie.

I wonder why something like this hasn't been done with certain movies. Ladyhawk was very good by the way. I love Rutger Hauer, especially in Blade Runner, which better not be remade. :p
