Top 5 Worst Remakes

With the release of the unbearingly bad remake The Day The Earth Stood Still, I thought it was a good idea to look at some of the other terrible remakes that studios thought would be an instant classic again.

5. Pyscho

Where to begin. This movie sucked. I really don't know how else to describe it. Gus Van Sant who I almost always enjoy, decided to do a shot for shot remake of the 1960 classic. WTF? That movie damn near perfection, and so they decide hey let's make it better. Well shoot everything the same but put it in color and let Vince Vaughn and Anne Heche star. That's all.









4. Planet of the Apes

JESUS CHRIST. This movie pissed me off so much. Again I love Tim Burton, but f***ing hate this movie. Hey you know that guy Marky Mark
well he's ditched the funky bunch and wants to be a real big action star. So why don't we remake Planet of the Apes and put him in it. Sounds great doesn't it?








3. Stepford Wives

I'm only halfway through this list, and I already want to stab myself with a spoon.............Nicole Kidman. I'll give you yours in a minute, but for now I'll rant about this piece of shit they wanted to call a movie.










2. The Invasion

Nicole Kidman. What the hell happened to you?













1. Get Carter


Michael Caine's performance in the 1971 was a chilling deep and dark performance. Stallone's turn was instead a sleepy pay check seeking turn.

  1. I disagree with your opinion on planet of the apes. In contrast to the original, I enjoy this revamped version quite a lot more. Great movie overall? Eh, not quite but not great either. Great compared to the original? Definately.
