There are entirely too many remakes comming out this year.

[the_real_linda]

i havnt but ive got really pissed off bout some of them.

[XtRaVa]

Me too, I think its pathetic how many are being made just for money and because they cant think of any new ideas. Some remakes are good, of course they are, but a whole lot more are shit and shouldnt be made/rip-offs that suck.

However I'm not crying about them, I dont think anyone is :p

So people can't have their own opinion on the way film making is going now?

Yeah, not all remakes are crap, but most that i've seen of late are plain and simply poor movies.

Be it through moaning or praise, let them say what they will.Telling people to stop voicing their own opinion is like telling "them" to stop making bad movies, it won't happen.

Do you listen to movie critics bitching about movies?... YES
Do you agree with all they say?... NO

Don't just tell them to be quiet, ask them why they think the movie sucks.

since this is your 6th post i'm assuming you havent been here long enough to see the other 500 threads where people are complaining about remakes.


sure everyone has the right to voice their opinion ...
and the people who have been around here a long time have the right to mention that the subject is getting pretty stale and futile.

Yes, i'm new,so i'm going to post to the newest threads.

There is always going to be people that start threads that have been done before, that's new members for you.:)

If you've heard it all before, then ignore it and move along.

remakes have been going on as long as film has been made - get over it already.

i agree with the thing and body snacthers being good remakes. but can you really call movies about frankenstien or dracula remakes? Those stories were around long before movies were made. You can have different versions. but not remakes, unless You're talking about movies that don't stick to the original story line of the novels. then i suppose you could call them remakes if someone made a movie based losely or around the idea of those movies. then i guess you're right they were good re makes

It has nothing to do with opinions, just generalizations. Sure most remakes aren't that great. Are some of them? Yes. It would be different if you were bitching about a remake that you have seen. I'd rather see 15 threads on why the TCM remake sucked or, hell, even why The Fly remake sucked (which I loved). Why just make a thread complaining about remakes that haven't even been released yet? Remake or not, there are a lot of bad movies that come out every year simply because there are so many released. There's more crappy movies because there's simply more movies.

According to the US Box Office Info In

1970 - The Total Movies Released = 30
1980 - The Total Movies Released = 134
1990 - The Total Movies Released = 193
2000 - The Total Movies Released = 502
2006 - The Total Movies Released = 771

I haven't bitched about any movie in particular.All i've complained about is the way horror movies are made today.

Yes, i agree that the thread is a bit random, and that there's alot more movies made today.But it's because these so called bigger horror's over the years are remakes, or copy the hell out of another movie, because it saves them money and time.

We don't need to see movies that we've already seen with these remakes.

When did they make a fly remake? lol

um is that a joke? 50% of the upcoming horror section is crying about remakes.

[urgeok]

here's the deal about 'remakes'

see the movie or not.

if not - then you have nothing to say.

if you see it - then critique it.
some are bad, some are good .... just like regular movies.

i wouldnt think there would be anything more to add than that extremely simple formula .. but i'm sure someone will think of something.
