I originally asked this in a different thread, but it got flamed out before I was able to see any responses...
A friend was out visiting the other weekend, and we are both movie buffs. At one point, she made a blanket statement that "all movie remakes are worse than the original."
We debated this for a while, and came up with a few rules -- movies based on pre-existing works (Romeo and Juliette) or directors that remake their own films (Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much) don't qualify as remakes, nor do sequels.
My brain made a convoluted connection between this and MQ -- is it a RQ sequel, or is it a remake?
And does that affect your reaction to Mongoose's new product?
Or heck, do you even love movie remakes, or hate 'em? My friend most hated remake was City of Angels (from Wings of Desire).
