A Star is Born was remade a million times & surprisingly worked each time! That’s extremely rare! I enjoyed the Wiz as well, which is technically a remake. Dracula with Gary Oldman was good, just to add to a previous post. But 90% of remakes usually aren’t worth the time & money it was used for.

This is the perfect take. Asian men can't jump would be more interesting with where we are as a society today, and current basketball culture.

@@cheasok9768 relax yung'un. I do hoop and I'm also a filmmaker. If you knew the premise of the film it's based on hustling using people's prejudices. In the 80s the Celtic brand led to overall assumptions that White Men Can't Jump comparable to Jordan vs Bird skill set. We KNOW White Men CAN Jump now. Soooooo (inhale) a film better suited to that prejudice in today's context would be playing on the idea that Asian Men Can't Jump. Don't you think it would be funnier having a Justin Lin type playing Billy Ho than that goofy Jack Harlow? The jokes write themselves. Imagine if Ronny Chieng could ball? Surprised you didn't use the obvious GOAT, Hall of Famer Yao Ming, as your example, respectfully.

I liked this one. They remade it for the new generation and the last one came out 30 years ago, so it's been a while lol. When you get older, you feel like it wasn't that long ago 😂... I feel like people complain when they remake something but then complain about the stuff they change too

Damn! This review was brutally honest The only remake that comes to mind, is 2017’s It chapter 1. I agree that the remakes & sequels are played out, though I understand why Hollywood is doing it. They’re afraid of new ideas cause they might flop. Now that I think about it… the first F&F was basically a remake of Point Break and that was great. Remakes could work, but the writing needs to be way better or at least on par with the original.

When you took off your glasses to talk about the flame throwing had me lol 😂

I can remember how excited I was when the first one came out. Every time the preview came on tv I would watch it. I asked mom to by me the soundtrack. My brother took me the movies as soon as it came out. With this new one I have so little interest I could literally click a few buttons and watch it on tv and still haven’t done it. I’ve watched movies that I’ve seen before since it came out and was more excited to watch them.

Well said brother! Agreed!

My favorite remakes of the last two decades are IT, True Grit, Planet of the Apes trilogy, Dune and Godzilla (the MonsterVerse). Other than what it takes to make a good film in any situation, I think the key to a good remake is the genre. Science fiction and fantasy are good genres for remakes, due to the variety and fluidity. Comedy though, is a tough genre for remakes or sequels because it is so subjective.

Love the review Tony thank you 😂😂 I can’t stand remakes especially with music.Its like a cop out,no originality or creativity.

I Love When Tony Rant About Movies 💯

Spot on with the urban movies and the constant need for music in the background. They treat these movies like they're 90's to 2k music videos. Just loud for no reason. I want to hear the dialogue smh. No wonder I have to resort to close captions to understand what the actors are saying

“dawn of the dead” remake with vin rhames & makia phifer is another great example of a remake that surpassed the original . also, “the time machine”. .

Right, a reimagined version!!!

Thank you!!

I saw it last week and I chuckled a few times but I knew going to regret it. I agree I liked Teyana Taylor's role and Sinqua Walls and that was about it. To me it was a movie to have on in the background when you're doing other stuff because that's what I was doing...

The only ones I can think of is Imitation of Life and You’ve Got Mail. The remakes were better than the originals to me.

Love the honest review tony baker ! No nonsense at all.

Great review Tony. Keep 'em coming! This remake seems to have been written by a 13 y. o. who never saw the original but was told the story of it by his older brother. That's the only reason I can explain the flamethrower. Why did they move all the action inside? What was wrong with 3on3 on open courts? The actual b-ball action sucked. Characters were tame & flat. It sucked so much not even the waters of lake Minnetonka can purify it. Original is a gem.

The Longest Yard even though technically it's a continuation with Burt Reynolds still being in prison , The Longest Yard is one of the best remake and The Nutty Professor...and I'm not counting any Marvel Or DC Movie

Every movie over 20 years old will eventually be remade because of the speed at which we consume content. Scarface, The Departed, The Raid, Casino Royal all remakes arguably better that the original.

Man this was one of the best breakdowns I seen on movie reviews but the continue I don't know if you consider it a remake but IT was a good movie how it allows the characters to grow and continue

Also, remake that worked, Spenser for Hire. Took me a second to get into Hawk, as a character but once it developed I could start to get into it. The new Spenser, I feel, could have used a little taming and I think we basically got to see what Mark would be like as a Spenser more than the role of Spenser but the movie worked

Another fun and honest review! Good remakes in my opinion is; It Chapter 1, John Carpenter’s The Thing, The Mummy, Scarface, Dredd, The Departed (Which is a remake of a Hong Kong film called Internal Affairs). The movies that deserves a remake are movies that are terrible or a foreign or old films that would make sense or would be interesting to have a modern day adaptation or a twist on the original.

Tony, you have constant music in the back of THIS video! But yeah I agree.

First two remakes that come to mind: Martin Scorsese's CAPE FEAR THE BIRDCAGE with Robin Williams (I haven't seen the original French film, though.)

Yes, moral of the story “No more remakes!”

I think most of the good remakes were way back in the day. Movies like Scarface, Ben-Hur, A Star is Born (although the newest remake was good as well). Another two newer good remakes were The Jungle Book (2016) and Nightmare Alley imo. Edit: Also do the James Bond movies count?

The Best Man archive was definitely one of the best ever. They kept all the original characters when they did the series (expect Mya). And the series was amazing. I felt all type of emotions. And it ended well. Gaves us closure uk?

Tony, my good Sir, you couldn't have broken it down any better bruh. You rated it higher than I did. I did, ABSOLUTELY, NOTHING FOR ME. NADA😂😂😂😂😂

5:09 🤣

Bruh, I was up here arguing with these kids about this. Like whhhhyyyy, it’s a NEW damn movie 😭

The Blob, Thing and the Fly are my fav remakes of all time. Even though they were made in 80s, it's about the same amount time between their releases & their originals in the 50s. Also, the Dredd remake was far better than what we got in the 90s.

The only joke that landed for me was the “Shape of You” moment before the final tournament. Outside of that, crickets.

One remake that I like as equally as the original is Sparkle because there are differences but the story isn't destroyed, if that makes sense.

Tony Baker, I agree Hollywood needs to stop doing remakes. But this White Men Can't Jump remake is super saiyan solid, it's not the greatest and isn't terrible. Kamal & Jeremy is way different from Sidney & Billy.

I'm watching it now and I'm disappointed and embarrassed. They didn't need to do this at all.
