milton75 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Remakes are always poor and never a patch on the original. There are many remakes that are better than the originals. Don't talk mince. In this case, it would be hard to be worse than the original. That said, this will probably be at least as bad, It'll be schmaltzy shite aimed at morons. The Keeping Up Appearances / Only Fools and Horses fanbase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milton75 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Name them then. Oh come on, there's a bunch you'll have seen. This is pub argument fodder. Invasion of the Body Snatchers - both the excellent 1979 one with Donald Sutherland, and the 90s Abel Ferrarra effort both piss all over the McCarthyesque original. The Fly - the 80s Jeff Goldblum one is a million times better. Scarface - Al Pacino's version is better. The Thing - obviously Ocean's 11 - I don't even like it that much, but I've seen the original, and it's appalling. It probably doesn't count (some bollocks term like "re-imagining", but I prefer the new Star Trek too. Anyway, those are off the top of my head, there's likely loads more.

Sergeant Wilson Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I notice the glaring absence of the good Sergeant here. Has he maybe got a bit part rattling Mrs Mainwairing?I'm not arguing with the anti army crowd. As for the new one, I'll try to give it a chance. I would have picked David Jason as Godfrey maybe.

I would have picked David Jason as Godfrey maybe. I'm not anti-army. Just anti-crap. The reason I hate drivel like Keeping Up Appearances isn't because I'm anti-housewife. Engage your brain.

Ya Bezzer! Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Dads Army isn't as bad as some people are making out and you could list a lot more British sit-coms that are worse than you could that are better, but I do think in the great scheme of things it is a bit over rated.
