Reboots are rarely a good idea, but these currently in-production movie remakes are ridiculous.

In the 1930s Hollywood started remaking films from the teens and 20s. This is not new and unfortunately it will likely never stop.
Dawn of the Dead. 2004. Fun movie 😊
FFS LEAVE YOUR GRUBBY GODDAMNED HANDS OFF THE CROW ALREADY.
They can not touch The Crow, I refuse. I don’t care who films it it will NEVER be The Crow. Absolutely not. I quite literally named my first born in honor of Brandon Lee.
This is the shit you get when public schools no longer teach how to think but what to think.

I think it’s stupid to remake “The Thing”. But if it’s going to be remade, it should be Wyatt Russell taking the role as MacReady!
I love how angry people get about these. A remake is NOT going to stop you watching the original(s). Just watch that and be happy. You’ll live longer.
Scarface is a good reimagining
While I love the Crow movie, as a person that read the book it was based off it changed so much. I just don't like the look of Scarsgard version of the Eric Draven. It seems like every director or writer ever since we seen him as Joker wants to cover him in tattoos.
Whytf would you remake scarface? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard!
Sad how people even bother to watch these remakes. I don't watch them at all.
Did we REALLY need another Williw Wonka movie?
I've been wanting a new Blade with a new cast for a while and can't wait for it. Liam Neeson is perfect for a new Naked Gun and it should be really fun.
If you consider The Mummy (1999) a remake then it's the best remake.
Garfield and Moana2/remake,: don't care
The Crow, The Thing, and Scarface: No! Put it down and walk away.
Blade: If it isn't Wesley Snipes than it isn't Blade.
NakeGun and Happy Potter: Just no, please no.
The Crow remake, I'm going to pass, cash grab again, make original movies, sad f…s .
Amazing video Gareth from what culture of remakes nobody ask for,fantastic job.
I’m not upset about remakes and reboots, they have to happen to get new fans from younger generations who will likely not watch the original. Hell, James Bond is about to be redone for the third time in my life and I’m really not that old. The problem isn’t remakes and reboots, it’s the fact that they are churning them out too soon. It used to be that you would wait 30 to 50 years, now it’s like 15 to 20 years.
The Mummy 1999 is my favourite remake.
The new Crow looks dope af. I used to love the original as a kid and read the graphic novels. I recently rewatched the the 90s Crow and it was corney af. Looking forward to the new one.
Favorite remake -The Fly '86
I also really liked 2005's King Kong.
no Disney animated movie EVER needed a live action remake.
Harry Potter (like Dune, WoT, and Shogun) really could use a FAITHFUL representation.
I would prefer they didn't sequel Beetlejuice. Oh well.
NO MORE REMAKES!!! Enough, just leave the rest of these movies alone, now you're just desperately making cash grabs that no one is asking for. Especially movies like Scarface, no one can play Tony Montana like Al Pacino, to me he will always be "My Lil' Friend!"
Chris Pratt is the worst Chris
The evil dead
Brilliant out and out horror that takes the comedy element away.
The Mummy – whether it can be classified as a reboot or remake of the earlier one- it was lightning in a bottle; with the stellar Brendan Fraser & a lovely Rachael Weiz, & they even managed to follow it up with a decent sequel…
Why? Hollywood is out of ideas
Though I still love the original version Dawn of the Dead 04 was a great remake to me
Invasion of the Body Snatchers with Donald Sutherland
Also loved Th13rteen Ghosts with Tony Shaloub and Matthew Lillard
3:10 to Yuma's remake had a grittier, more realistic ending to the time frame it was made to represent in my opinion.
The Taking of Pelham 123 (One Two Three) I like both versions
The Mechanic, both versions are great
Man on Fire, personally the remake to me was better, but the original version had an ending which was changed completely IN the remake
These are just a few I can immediately think of. Now, if it's an animated film to live action adaptation, I'll 99% of the time stick to the animated film.
What about the late great OJ Simpson?
idk what drugs you are on to be putting Blade on this list. All I have seen is mostly excitement for it.
I'm actually looking forward to Liam Neeson in the role of Frank Drebin. I think this might actually work pretty well.
Blades been rewritten multiple times just because they keep trying to make blade the titular character Second fiddle to his daughter or some other female character
Goes to show that even after all of the strikes from the writers – they still cant write anything original and have to resort to ruining films that should be left alone – case in point the Crow, Scarface and the Thing – leave them alone
What Hollywood really needs to do is stop with the remakes & re-release the originals on the big screen & do some heavy advertising like Lucas did for the original trilogy. That way – people could see the originals on the big screen again. At one time – Hollywood used to do that. Now all they want to do is remake movies and lose money.
The Crow remains my favourite movie to this day. The new one looks God awful.
As for reboots that were good, I would argue X-Men: First Class did a great job. Though, the less said about subsequent films the better.
NOOOOO NOOOOO NOOOOO PLEASE!!!!! don't make a SCARFACE remake 😮💨😮💨
I mean if you die durring the movie while making said movie it almost seems like the movie is now untouchable for re-make. Like a retired jersey number.
Just gotta point out, the crow ISN'T A REMAKE, and there's been four crow movies, do some actual research
Remakes are often nag but I did enjoy the remake of IT and Carrie
Multiple adaptations of classic novels are in a different category (or should be). However… I think it's safe to say the 1983 "HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES" with Ian Richardson is specifically a remake of the 1939 film with Basil Rathbone. Both were made by American producers, and both films feature something not seen in any of the 2 dozen OTHER versions: Holmes in disguise as a peddler, having fun at Watson's expense with a musical instrument. (A zither in 1939, a French accordion in 1983.) The 1983 is a LAVISH, big-budget, all-star cast (of British actors) that includes far more of the original novel than the 1939 film did (as well as cramming in a few details from unrelated stories), and has quite possibly the single BEST ending of any of the adaptations of "HOUND" ever done. It's hard to believe this was actually a TV-movie, it looks SO GOOD.
Freakin sumb people keep wanting to quote remake things for the modern audience when in reality not making it for anyone only for the sweet baby inc wierdos
No remakes on the crow or Scarface those should be left alone
Disney ruined Marvel and Star Wars……..
New ideas please!
