I'd like a remake of Starship Troopers that didn't suck and was truer to the book.

That movie is damn good as is.


The best answer is I Am Legend. Do that one true to the book.

Giant

The Warriors

Highlander. Maybe not remade, but rebooted.

No reboots. There can only be one.

Please remake the two CFs that followed one of the best movies of the 90s, The Matrix. The Matrix had one of the best setups for a sequel that I've ever seen. A man finds a way to free humanity using his humanity. He doesn't have to play by the rules of the computer-generated prison because he isn't a computer. Everyone was clamoring for a sequel where Neo leads the charge to beat the computers, but they go and completely ruin a good concept by gumming everything up with psuedo-philosophy and no resolution. I'm not someone who thinks I'm entitled to whatever I want, but I am definitely not happy with the way that one turned out...

This is as close as I will ever come to acknowledging those movies' existence.








Oh, and I also agree with whoever said The Hobbit. About halfway through the first film, I realized they weren't going to finish the story in one movie. I guess I wasn't paying attention, but I didn't know it would be a trilogy. It probably had something to do with the subtitle not saying "Part 1," or something similar. I felt duped, but even if I knew, The Hobbit as a trilogy is a money grab, plain and simple.

Shazaam with Sinbad

I watched the first Hobbit, didn't even make it to the 2nd one though I think. May have caught some on tv but who knows. That book was the best of the bunch and they really messed it up. A trilogy for that is a sham.

Agree on the Matrix, would have been better if they just stopped at the original. I think the Wachowski Brothers(now sisters?) just got really lucky on the first one. I don't think they've done anything of note since. Such a great movie, and I don't think I've ever been more wrong about what I thought a movie was going to be like compared to what it really was. The previews made it look like just some kind of modern king fu movie with people dodging bullets somehow. .

Labyrinth. Jennifer Connelly would still be hot.

Raise the Titanic

To its credit, that movie had a good score and good visual effects ... but one could never re-make that movie (and I read the book many years ago) given that we all know the Titanic, per Robert Ballard, is in two major pieces and is in truly terrible shape. A remake of that would never stand up to criticism, I think.

I saw Sahara but honestly remember absolutely nothing about it, save for it starring that well-known t-sip. I know there is a large library of Clive Cussler books that could serve as the basis for really good movies. Why that has not come about is curious.

Star Trek 2009. Have actual science, philosophy, and mature characters.

The Warriors

I can see it now - the gritty underdog Warriors fighting their way through the mean streets of Manhattan, dodging Sex in the City tours, ducking into vegan cupcake shops or funky poke places to escape pursuing rivals,and making it back to Brooklyn to find that their turf has been taken over by mustachiod, fun-employed barristas and beekeeper whose "colors" are ironic high school band uniforms.

Warriors remake may be great, but it would have to be someplace like Compton or South Chicago.

i enjoyed starship trooper movie, it was entertaining...

a real book version would be good.

the thing that sucks about remakes is that new movies generally really suck.

go on a '70's movie watching binge, so many good movies then.

it is possible to make a much better movie now than it was then, but it seems everything has to focus on cartoon computer effects, and either dumbing the movie down for the uneducated, or trying to get all uppity and weird to appeal to the 'too smart for you' indie crowd.

interesting, i thought i was the only one who didnt really like the rest of them as much.

actually i really enjoyed the second one, but didnt like the 3rd one at all...

World War Z

Make an HBO/Showtime/etc series out of it, truer to the book.
