In light of the Hulk remake, what recent films should Hollywood apologize and redo?

[SpandexFan]

This Ed Norton Hulk is setting a new precedent in Hollywood. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think I ever remember Hollywood doing a remake on a product that was so recent and so expensive the first time around. AND it even had good reviews.

So with this in mind, what would you like to see Hollywood apologize and redo again? It has to be a film that was made in the last 15 years, something that no matter what kind of money or critical acclaim it received, for whatever reason, it had many detractors who didn't appreciate the vision.

For me, I'm going with an easy choice:

The Star Wars prequels

Let's forget Lucas ever made those horrors and do it once again. And you know what? I bet each film would still make a cool $200-$300 mill easy. t:

(P.S. I have a feeling Transformers will be on this list in two weeks.)

CINO. Catwoman had a lot of potential to be a great movie. we got the exact opposite.

 

[shapeshifter]

i'm sick of remakes.

 

[JackBauer]

also, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

 

[Warhammer]

Blade: Trinity, Ghost Rider, Spider-Man 3, and the Pirates sequels.

 

[WorthyStevens]

The Black Dahlia. A talented cast, wasted.

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

Spider-Man 3
Pirates 2+3
Sherk The Third
Deathrace 3000(not recent but an amazing R rated remake would be great)

Superman Returns-Great movie but it lacked a lot of things.

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

Blade: Trinity, Ghost Rider, Spider-Man 3, and the Pirates sequels.

Has to be remade

Indeed. A cool crime thriller based on the Brubacker run would be insanely badass.

also, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

I didn't think it was that bad. Some of the departures weren't as good as the book, but the guide entries and the cast, particularly Rockwell and Mos Def were excellent in their roles.

The Black Dahlia. A talented cast, wasted.

Indeed. Hell, just a good script edit keeping the more darker ending would have done wonders for the movie.

some of the departures were f***in awful. others were passable. but I mainly just hated how Disney it felt.

the only stuff that really worked for me was Rockwell (DESPITE the ridiculous way they cut back on SFX with Zaphod) and Marvin (both the design and Rickman were great). but what was really pitch perfect for me was Eddie the computer. I never could've imagined a more perfect voice.

the rest of the cast were pretty much non-entities. I was actually surprised, cause in theory they seemed like good choices. in theory.

Daredevil. I'd like to see what Johnson kept promising, a real gritty, urban, realistic vigilante/detective story mixed with courtroom drama. my dream director for this would be Fincher.

the matrix rebooted

 

[Golgo-13]

Spiderman 3.
The entire Star Wars PT
Blade 3

 

[Warhammer]

the matrix rebooted

Best. Post. Ever.

Btw, Hulk isn't really a remake...it's more of a sequel just with a different cast, and a re-invisionment for the Hulk himself. The events of the first will will still be acknowledged.

Not so much a remake, but I want to see a new version of Batman Begins where everything is exactly the same except Maggie Gyllenhaal is digitally inserted into the movie to replace Katie Holmes as Rachel.

the matrix rebooted

because of the rambling, over-stuffed, and doo doo filled sequels, people forget just how good the first film was. I'd say it's a classic. The wackowskis just didn't know what the **** they were doing with the next ones.

Sequels should be rebooted.

original matrix is a definite classic; up there with the bests.

It makes me believe that lawsuit with the lady who claimed they stole her material for the first one. Night and day comparing the first flick with the two sequels. Even V for Vendetta was very average.

...have you seen the directors cut? cause if so, how can you say it's not what you just described?

V for Vendetta was great

 

[Addendum]

V for Vendetta was great

To read

The V for Vendetta movie is such an obvious political commentary on the Bush administration its not even funny. It lacks all forms of subtlety and has become something college kids sitting in coffee shops at 3 am quote because they think it makes them sound intelligent.

the director's cut fixes a lot, but it still isn't really what i described. the main problem is the use of cgi and the wirework in the fights. and there is no real courtroom drama in the flick, most of it is comic relief with Foggy. on top of everything else, the movie just doesn't have the atmosphere that i think a Daredevil film should have.
