Better than expected
I was not expecting much when I heard they were making a new 'Jumanji' film. Fear filled my head of a remake, nothing could top the first.
However i found this film pleasantly surprising. Feel this film could stand alone and not be constantly compared to the first.
The films plot was predictable but still fun and joyful. The cast was what made this film great. Their chemistry and dialogue was very funny and held the film together.

Dean (6927 KP) rated The Experiment (2010) in Movies
Feb 12, 2018
A remake of the German film Das Experiment which was based on a real social study in the 70's. It has a good cast and is an interesting topic to see how peoples behaviour can change given a certain situation. Everyone has a breaking point and acts differently when given power, authority or treated badly. People can change very quickly from what you expect and within a group. However the film is quite brutal at times, but I just felt the ending let it down a bit. Still worth a watch.

Good remake of a classic
An enjoyable, if a little slow at times, star heavy adaptation of the Agatha Christie story - set on the Orient Express.
As good to watch as the original version with the cast making the most of limited screen time each, we may know the outcome of the story, but,even knowing that, the film doesn't disappoint, and Kenneth Branagh with his bizarre moustache fitting in well as Poirot, a role, I'm sure most people wouldn't have been able to see him playing.

Binge watchers dream!
I I begrudgingly started watching this after it was recommended by several friends. I wasn’t expecting much as I as sup it was a series remake of house on haunted hill (it isn’t).
I was pleasantly surprised, however, & binge watched the series in 2 days.
It’s got some good scares, a great story and a fab cast. Worth a watch!

Chuckys design
Just finished watching not as good as the original but it's okay did we really need a child's play remake probably not. the acting was okay mark hamill on voice dutys good but not as good as Brad dourif and the chuckys look so wrong it just wasn't chucky. There are some kills in the movie which I like. Let's hope they don't make a sequel and go back to the original Chucky next time
David McK (3929 KP) rated Beauty and the Beast (2017) in Movies
Dec 31, 2019
Live-action remake of the 1994 Disney film which (from what I remember) sticks almost exactly to that source material, with Emma Watson's Belle perhaps given a bit more independence than before.
Mostly the same songs as before (although I'm not sure about Hermione - sorry, sorry, Emma Watson - vocals), with maybe one or two new additions, with those songs serving more as time fillers than for moving the plot along (compare these to those in Aladdin and you'll see what I mean) - that's not a criticism, as such, just an observation!

Meh
I caved and watched the remake. I regret it. Thre acting and cinematography were fine. The story was just ok. They changed enough ti make it slightly different and added some stuff that was unnecessary for the storyline. Sad part is, this could've been a whole different movie with those added parts. There was potential to have created something new. Instead, they tried to rehash a classic horror film to make money on. The original was great and should've been left alone. Overall, this one is not worth a watch.
