What is the worst remake of all time?

For me, it's a three-way tie, in no particular order: 1. "The Heartbreak Kid" with Ben Stiller. Definitely not funny, and minus the cheap laughs you usually get with a Stiller movie, one of the boring things I've ever had to sit through.2.

The Rob Zombie version of "Halloween. " Completely butchered what was once a great 80's slasher flick by trying to dig too much into it. The whole thing that made Micheal Meyers scary in the first place was the fact that there was no reasoning, logic, or emotion, and Zombie obliterated that by adding those things in.3."War of the Worlds" with Tom Cruise.

Cruise and aliens invading the earth...anyone else sense an unnecessary reference to Scientology? Let alone bad acting, bad special effects.

Well, to pick one of the worst would be Clash of The Titans. Or One Missed Call, or Planet of The Apes... Wait! That's the one, Planet of The Apes!

I'm going with that one. ;).

Planet of the Apes (2001). Tim Burton didn't just remake a classic movie, he removed everything that made the original a compelling story in favor of a simplistic good vs. evil narrative. The original is a wonderful, thought-provoking, even philosophical movie that remains relevant to this day -- you can't say the same for many 1968 movies.

The remake is shallow, action/adventure, popcorn nonsense you should hope to never see, or at least forget quickly.

On a completely unrelated topic, A Nightmare on Elm Street 2010 is now playing. Produced by Michael "I ruin all your fondest memories" Bay!

I recently saw the bad lieutenant by Werner Herzog and it was a really bad idea try to remake the master piece by Abel Ferrara, chosing Nichola cage as main character, a very bad idea and also bad film. I like Herzog a lot but in this case, in my opinion he did a bad work.

I'd have to go for "Rollerball (2002)" as the worst, which in some way was some kind of unintentional parody of the original from 1975. I'd put the Cruise version of "War Of The Worlds" in there just because it missed the scale of the novel, but I consider the audio work by Jeff Wayne to be the definitive version of that story outside of text.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
