Remake of Total Recall

[elevationvb]

Not sure I like this. I mean who can forget Arnold and Sharon Stone in the original? And how about the female alien with the 3 boobs? Classic!

Does appear that the remake is more of a reboot with the movie taking place on Earth instead of Mars.

I think it looks great! I never realy watched the one with Arnold :/ But most of my friends say that it is much better tho lol

I, like most people, am very skeptical about remakes. It seems the only ones that are good are remakes of movies that were obscure, foreign, or just so old that nobody remembers them.

There are many movies that really don't need to be remade. This is one. Don't see a point of the three stooges movie either.

Has there ever been a remake of a successful movie, especially a "cult" classic?

I rather liked 3:10 to Yuma. Maybe Ocean's Eleven? The Fly from 1986.

I'll give you all three of those. I quite enjoyed the re-boot of Star Trek. Others...Heaven Can Wait (remake of Here Comes Mr. Jordan), The Thing (loved the first one, but really liked the John Carpenter remake), Cape Fear, True Grit, Casino Royale. The Magnificent Seven is a remake of Seven Samurai, of course, but if I start getting into U.S. remakes of foreign films the list would be endless.
