Remakes or sequels better than the original

[Kirby101]

I guess I am one of the few who does not think the Pacino Scarface was a very good movie. I found it overdone and over acted.

Not something i have said often in my life, but there is an american remake of a foreign movie that i did find better than the original one.

I found "Let me in", the remake of a Swedish movie nammed "Let the right one in", more enjoyable. Both are good movies though so, yeah, watch both if you feel like it.

You mean "Lord of the Rings" for the first one, yes? Because the Rankin-Bass version never actually got to the Return of the King part.

You're thinking of the Ralph Bakshi one. Rankin-Bass did an animated TV special that only covered The Return of the King.

Skull Island is a better movie than Peter Jackson King Kong

Never watched the original movie so I can't speak on it

Also, as much as I love Boris Karloff, the MUmmy with Brendan Frasier was far more entertaining.

I saw that movie when it came out and not since. At some point a remake/reimagining strays so far from the spirit of the original it ceases to function in the same capacity and is it's own thing.

That said the Hammer films sometimes did more entertaining things with the Universal monsters than Universal did. Which is a feat unto itself cause those are classics and originals of a time. Even with the unfortunate brown-face, Lee's Mummy films are way better cooler to me than the Universal ones. The Universal Frankenstein is a classic but there isn't much to the Dr., Hammer's Curse of Frankenstein gave the Dr. his due. It always gets me when show up with those hands he took from that sculpture.

Karl Urban's Dredd is better than Sylvester Stallone's Judge Dredd

No doubt *10 char*

I prefer Winter Soldier and Civil War over The First Avenger. Same with Ragnarok over Thor1 and Dark World.

I liked the Golden Army over Hellboy 1 but I'd say Hellboy 1 is the better intro to Hellboy over the reboot.
