Remakes you CAN give a thumbs up to.

Meh. I found it tedious and uninteresting. yeah it was better than the original, but that is not saying much.

Although I'm a big Steve McQueen fan, I totally enjoyed the remake of "The Getaway" with Alec Baldwin & Kim Basinger.

For me it got very tedious after the first season or so.....IHMO the series got too involved in the "P" word, and not nearly enough involved in actually fighting the bad guy Cylons. At least the orginal series maintained some humor, and blew things up with regularity.

Hmm, I've seen Yojimbo. Definitely a great movie but I'm pretty sure it's remakes were Fistfull of Dollars and Last Man Standing. I can't think of much connection between Yojimbo and Pale Rider...

It's All About The Music
My Iaido class is gathering after our Saturday morning session to watch Yojimbo as a group. There are several of us that haven't seen it. I'll report back with their reactions.
That's why I liked it. It was refreshing to see intelligent stories in a sci-fi format on screen, rather than just a bunch of juvenile jokes and explosions.

While I don't like this one nearly as much as the original, it's still a pretty decent remake, especially compared to some of the other horror reboots and remakes that have been coming out lately.
But definitely a thumbs up to The Hills Have Eyes remake. Not necessarily a fan of it but it was much, much better than the original.

Oh I did not find it tedious due to a lack of explosions or jokes, I found the stories tedious and uninteresting.
I also thought they took the easy way out for the finale, by arriving at earth's pre-civilization period...

I also prefer the Coen Brothers' version of The Ladykillers.
Other remakes I prefer (including True Grit) are The Fly, The Nutty Professor and The Man Who Knew Too Much. After looking though a list - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_film_remakes - I'm surprised that's the extent of it.

Evil Dead II was kind of a remake of Evil Dead I, and I like it MUCH better.
El Dorado was a remake of Rio Bravo and is just as good IMO. Rio Lobo is pretty good as a 2nd remake too, but not as good as the first two.
3 O'Clock High and Outland are both remakes of High Noon, and both are good.
