Anyone who argues box office numbers... you know? KaiLord: No, I haven't seen TCM (neither have I seen the original), but as for knowing about my spoiler, that's what spoiler reviews are for.I knew it wasn't a movie for me, but I wanted to be able to talk about it, so I read some spoilers.  And just to show not hypicrisy, but at least misunderstaning:Note that I didn't put "seems to be an inferior remake" in quotation marks in my original post, therefore I was paraphrasing, and(emphasis mine) seems to be calling it an inferior remake, at least to my eyes. Sorry to dredge this up again (I have at least withstood the urge to post all mentions of box office here) <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  Which is why many people call the remake inferior, because it doesn't produce this "yucky feeling".  Bit I agree that, for example, LotR's story has been told. However, it hasn't been told successfully, so I would consider a remake doubtful, but not unnecessary. If the LotR animation film had been a classic, then I'd probably think different (especially if the animation had been any good <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />) Harry Potter hasn't been told cinematically. I just think there are enough stories for movies out there that deserve a good to excellent cinematic treatment that Hollywood shouldn't go back and remake classics. Anyway, all I can say will not change your enjoyment of the movie, and it shouldn't. I'm happy you could enjoy it for what it is, and I'm okay with the fact that it's not my cup of tea, also for what it is. I'm just annoyed at the fact that Hollywood seems to think everything needs a remake or re-interpretation, even when it doesn't. I even agree that some foreign films may improve in their Hollywood incarnation, simply because the production value is higher. You're opinion of Ring/Ringu is an example of that. Still, before they remake Ringu, I'd rather they make a movie like May. Berandor</blockquote>
