This movie scared the shit out of me when I was a kid.

I’d be letting younger me down if I saw it.

I have nothing against the fact that the ghost busters are now women. I just can’t stand Melissa McCarthy and Kristin Wiig

Hollywood may think they can get me to see a movie by replacing all the ugly men with sexy ladies, but they underestimate my distaste for remakes.

Well. Three of them are sexy. Whereas only one of the original guys was sexy.

Not many remakes are as good as the original. Vincent Price made The Last Man on Earth, based on a novel. Charlton Heston did The Omega Man - same source material, much better movie. Will Smith remade it yet again - I am Legend. Not as good as the Heston movie, but better than Price. So there is no remake rule.

Those aren’t really remakes though, they’re adaptations.

Remakes would be things like The Lady Killers, or Vanilla Sky, or Taxi. Point proven I think.

I had high hopes for it, based on the cast, but the early reviews I’ve seen have not been great. Why did Bill Murray have to block the third film for so damn long?

I wish they would have done it more like a sequel instead of a remake. What I mean is, they take over for the “old men” who can’t/don’t want to do it anymore.

Remakes are an auto deduction in value for me. There are probably exceptions but I can't think of any right now that are able to make up that deficit.

That’s a fair point. And because I am a Helen Mirren completist, I watched the Arthur remake. She’s good, the rest is shit.

Love Kristen wiig and McCarthy but I have heard this movie is nothing but cliché man hating joke after cliché man hating joke.

I’m sure it’ll be good. But, it didn’t need to be done.

Remakes that didn’t need to be made
