Manchurian Candidate

[PlatinumGold]

currently watching it. interesting. did anyone see the original?

which is better?

 

[Zim Hosein]

I never saw the original PlatinumGold, but the re-make was worth the rental IMO

 

[FoBoT]

i am confident that the original is better, i heard bad things about the new one

 

[psiu]

Have seen the original, not the new one. The original is pretty good though.

 

[Juice Box]

the new one is great!

 

[TwiceOver]

New one: 6/10 Very predictable, could have been better.

 

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

it was okay, nothing spectacular

 

[Viper GTS]

Somewhat OK up until the end, the end really sucks.

I imagine the first was better.

Re-make was worth the rent though.

there is no comparison. the orginal blows the hell outta the new one.

sinatra > *

I thought it was pretty good except for the ending part. It would have been interesting to see Denzel die and what Manchurian Global would have done with him in office.

Oh yeah, spoilers

WOW, the movie was ok, but Meryl Streep definitely deserves her reputation as one of the best actresses of her day.

seen the original only. not the new one. want to see it though.

 

[cosine17]

the original has better style and better actors (the people played the parts better at least, its open to debate that denzel is a better actor than sinatra). it was unique and sorta groundbreaking. the new is a bad attempt to modernize an already timeless classic.

that being said it could still be entertaining, without being "good" by film standards.

I've only seen the orginal. It was pretty good, i liked the eerieness of it.

 

[Klandestine]

i liked them both, how often do remakes of movies turn out well? ie flight of the phoenix :disgust:

 

[ThePresence]

The original is so much better, it's scary.
I enjoyed this movie. They should've picked a different name tho.

 

[zerocool1]

saw the original, was good, but didn't see the redux yet

 

[0roo0roo]

original was meh...overrated. new one was only ok.

You're posting while you're watching a movie? Guess it's not that entertaining.....

 

[meltdown75]

haha. rented the remake about a week ago, we enjoyed it - 7/10. nothing spectacular.

 

[maziwanka]

new one was ok as well.

mom said she saw both and the original was much better

 

[BentValve]

Saw the new one last night. A++++

Original > Remake
