Which one do you prefer? A remake or a sequel?

Depends on the movie, obviously.

No, I'm saying in general.

Sequels for me, sick of remakes, if you want to make a remake, find a RUBBISH film, and one that hasn't just come out...

Can't really speak in general, because there are good and bad examples of both. Some remakes are merited, as are sequels, and some aren't.

If someone decided to remake a crappy Steven Segal or Crappy Van Damme Movie and make it ten times better than the original, would anyone watch it?

I agree. It depends entirely on the film...

on the whole i prefer sequels as most remakes have fallen short of the originals

good sequels being the obvious...aliens, empire strikes back, bad boys 2,

where as remakes....i dont think i've seen a good one yet bat psycho which was only good because it copied the original scene for scene

Cape Fear was a good remake... not great, and not better than the original... but still good.

mmm...deniro was good in the remake but the film wasn't as powerful as the original.... mitchum still makes a better max cady

I agree... but that was the only one I could think of which was even close to the original.

Sometimes, I just don't know why they bother... (Planet of the Apes, anyone? )

add to the list of bad remakes

get carter
rollerball
texas chainsaw massacre
around the world in 80 days
the alamo
the thomas crown affair
lolita

and about to add to that list

the warriors
wizard of oz
the fog
the poseidon adventure
and more than likely....war of the worlds

Texas Chainsaw Massacre was decent.

Sequel

Dawn of the Dead remake was very good, actually, but the original was better.

Wizard was Oz was another decent remake.

hmm not sure i think i prefer sequels to remakes but sometimes remakes are better than some sequels soooo....

I probably prefer sequels, because there have been many horrible remakes recently, such as: Herbie The Love Bug, Bewitched, The Honeymooners, ect.

That damn Nightrider wannabe.

It doesnt matter, the originals are usually always better.

Anyone here?

Sequels. Definitely sequels over remakes.

How come?

I am so sick of remakes that turn out awful.I like sequels alot better.JM

When it comes down to it, I think there have been many more good sequels than there have been good remakes...

Thats fathomable.

remakes

Why?

i prefer remakes if they are done right,,,,,i wish they would remake some of the ol` video nasties like cannibal holocaust and last house on the left,sure they would probly suk but it would still be interesting to see wat hollywood would do to films like these

Because I can't think of any good remakes but at least some good sequels.
