american remakes of foriegn movies?

[thomsbrain]

i used to be in the "all remakes are bad" camp, but it seems like hollywood has been doing ok with some remakes in the last few years, notably vanilla sky, solaris, and insomnia. all of those movies were equally as good as their foriegn counterparts, IMO.

what you say? (move all zig) remakes, yay or nay?

edit: but they provide a good way for the older movies to be reviewed by the younger generation to compare.

in general, no. Taxi looks pretty f-ing horrible.

Holy fvcking christ no!

I'm quite curious about how they're going to work Infernal Affairs.

I agree with you on those three movies. They were good, but no match for their counterparts imo. I'd rather live without those 3 than have all of those crappy remakes!

I am yet to see a good Hollywood-style remake of a great foreign classic.

I think it's okay to remake films.
True, the original is better, but without the american version, I never would've known about vanilla sky, ring, or the grudge and never would've thought about watching any of these movies.

Yup.. the original ring and ju on(the grudge) are scarier.

NAY. Be original and make something new... especially these cartoon ones that have recently been released, scooby doo, garfield... they are ruinin our childhood idols with the crap they are makin now.

Haha.. what will the movie rating be? I don't think the movie will even pass the censorship

 

[z0mb13]

vanilla sky is based of a foreign movie?

 

[eplebnista]

nay

 

[Mo0o]

Usually not. does anyone have a counter example?

 

[mugs]

Depends on the movie, and how well-done the remake is. Being foreign doesn't make a movie good, being good makes a movie good.

Being remake by Hollywood makes the movie less good
