Scott Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Anyone seen this yet? What an absolute load of dross. The dialogue is back to the 90's, the story is a hacked up & spewed out mess of the original and the acting is some of the worst I have had the misfortune of watching. The stereotypical 'Black' Mum is just unbelievable. I couldn't believe my ears with some of the lines she had, might as well have added "fried chicken" in there at some point. In a comedy this sort of thing may work in a parody nature but this movie tried to pass itself off as serious(ish). The replacement of the crane had me laughing out loud also. Cringeworthy, steer clear if you liked the original in any way shape or form. One for the very young kids at most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not interested in seeing this at all! The orignial is spectacular!! The differences in the background aren't actually that bad. They are pretty fluent actually. It is all to do with the culture differences. ***SPOILER IN WHITE*** The Chinese kids don't like the idea of a Black kid hitting on their girls. Hence why he gets hassle.. Goes on from there, no bad students only bad teachers etc. However im a Jackie Chan fan and im intreeged to see how hes plays Mr Miogi (dunno how u spell it lol ) He doesn't, he plays Mr Han, and IMO he is hopeless in this flick.

colsoop Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Was there any doubt a remake wouldn't work? The movie industry can't seem to crack it or maybe they just want the money and know those who watch it as kids will go and see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do seem devoid of good ideas, as for karate kid I thought if was dross the 1st time round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseys Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I hope they don't do other classics from around that era like Short Circuit or Batteries Not Included. It kind of makes me feel a bit older now having films I watched lots as a kid being remade. Last decent remake i saw was Inglorious. Otherwise I can't say I've seen that much good stuff come out of the US in the last couple of years. Oh bar Wall-E. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, Goonies is the best film ever, have you seen the octopus deleted scenes? scchweet. But yeah, who would you get to play Chunk? James Corden? What about Data, Gok Wan? What about Sloth, Sarah Jessica Parker? Epic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMAO, Might as well have Jackie Chan playing Data lol, I seen the octopus scene yes, About two years ago I went on a mad one on the official fan Forum researching where it was made, all about the actors ect. Thats when I came across the deleted scenes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannhauser Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 They do seem devoid of good ideas, as for karate kid I thought if was dross the 1st time round. Exactly, it's not like they're remaking Citizen Kane. Nostalgia's one thing, but the original is painful, even for kids. The Goonies seems to be quite a lot of shouting and running around to no particular end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprash Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Screw this film, I cant wait for The Expendables, Arnie Swartz, Sly Stalone, Bruce Willis, Dolph Lundgren, Jason Statham, Jet Li.........all in one film = 90's awsomeness, but dont expect a brilliant script/story line, expect lots of action/guns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannhauser Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 As for your Goonies review - disgraceful Mrs T is a Goonies fan, and I've seen it a couple of times. I just don't get why it didn't go straight to bargain bin heaven. I like quite a few kid's films, but watching that is like being trepanated by a mutant woodpecker. As Macbeth put it, it's a 'tale told by an idiot,full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.'. Which, come to think of it, applies to 95% of multiplex fodder out there.
