Is The Italian Job remake the worst remake ever or have there been worse ??

To take a classic movie that is universally aclaimed and remake it as total crud is weird but to do it simply as an advert for a remade car that is nothing at all like the original is just sad !!!

Has there been a worse remake ?? icon_rolleyes.gif

My other significant other watches some tripe TV icon_rolleyes.gif. When he was here last, I semi-endured the remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It was dire. However, it's crappyness provided us with enough of a distraction to ensure we didn't overstep our mutually agreed "watershed" boundary. icon_redface.gif

Much.

The Lake House ... Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock remake of a Korean film called Il Mare ... they changed it so much it made no sense whatsoever ... but most people prob won't have seen the original so ...

Day The Earth Stood Still ... embarrassingly enough, another Keanu film though I myself quite like him as an actor ...

(Most disappointing sequel ... Transformers 2 ... what a pile of ...)

I agree that Italian Job was AWFUL! there are some terrible remakes out there though.

The Last House on The Left is a recent remake, haven't seen it yet but have heard it is very poor icon_sad.gif

A lot of French films were murdered by Hollywood remakes...

For example La Femme Nikita by Luc Besson with the gorgeous Anne Parrilaud was turned into The Assassin with Bridget Fonda - truly awful

Another of my favourites La Cage aux Folles was turned into The Bird Cage - total crap.

I had heard about the Italian Job and avoided it. Remaking Get Carter is unforgiveable.

The Italian job was fine.

How about the 2nd King Kong. Jeff Bridges and Jessica Lange. Yes it is a man in in a monkey suit.

Okay it was poor

but King Kong didn't even have real special effects. It was a man in a suit.

How about Solaris? The original bored me to tears … and the remake made me want to slash my wrists.

Mac & Me.

E.T. ripoff.

Forced to sit through the whole thing. The effort hurt my brain.
