Remake or Sequel

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?

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? 😘 )
