Live Poll: Horrible Movies That Need a Remake

I liked '88 Minutes'. Don't know why others didn't.

I never knew until now that it has a Metascore of below 20. Damn!

Good suggestion. Though I want Al Pacino in the remake too.

@BonaFideBOSS​ I also liked it.

@Peter_pbn

The list is based on both IMDb rating and Metascore.
 

• Note: Some of these movies already have a remake/reboot, but they are also as bad as the original and some are even worse.

According to your premise, The Daredevil and Punisher tv reboots are ... "as bad as the original and some are even worse[?]"

Their IMDb ratings say otherwise.

@Tsarstepan​ 

When considering, I do not count TV shows. There are shows better than their movies but many of us do not watch TV.

@Breumaster​ 

Added.

@Breumaster​ 

I liked Eternals.

@BonaFideBOSS​ 

Yes I know, some like it. I was strongly disappointed by the awful boring story and the lame stage managing. The movie felt like 4 hours of runtime. If you don't agree, you don't have to put it on your list. I just made that suggestion, because many people were disappointed. Did you see Sssssnake Kobra? Good idea which needs an update.

There are so many 'Nightfall' movies. Which one are you referring to?

@BonaFideBOSS​ 1988 version based on the Asimov short story (he also hated the movie, by the way)

I just noticed that both of my choices are based on works by Isaac Asimov.  He was my favorite science fiction writer when I was a kid.

@BonaFideBOSS,

Asimov's "Nightfall" is a wonderful short story.

The 1988 film, Nightfall (1988), is not only truly awful but it is disappointing that a simple powerful story is so utterly destroyed. A respectful remake would be great.

I, Robot (2004) bears little resemblance to Asimov's collection of short stories, "I, Robot". The film ruined one of my favorite characters, Susan Calvin.

I would have loved to see the adaptation by Harlan Ellison, who collaborated with Asimov himself to create a version which captured the spirit of the original. Asimov is quoted as saying that this screenplay would lead to "the first really adult, complex, worthwhile science fiction movie ever made."

By the way, Isaac Asimov is my favorite author. Sadly, I own only around 20% of his over 500 books.

@dan_dassow​ Looks like neither of the Asimov tltles were added.

Asimov was my favorite author as a teen and I owned many of his books then (fiction and non fiction).  I find the writing style of Orson Scott Card to be very similar to use in that Card will sometimes write entire chapters of just conversation, much as Asimov did.

'Nightfall' doesn't have enough ratings on IMDb to be considered as good or bad.

'I, Robot' has a good rating of 7.0+ on IMDb and an average on Metascore.
