Die ... and stay dead? (cough)optimus(cough)prime(cough)
Well, I might forgive Optimus for that one. No one I knew liked Hot Rod as Rodimus Prime... You had to bring Optimus back! I mean, the decepticons had Galvatron!! Who did the autobots have? Judd Nelson voicing Hot Rod?
I don't know about the first one. The original show was campy so this one may not be too bad. If they fiddle with The Day the Earth Stood Still, I will put a boot in someone's arse. At least it should be set in the fifties. What do you want to bet it is set in the present time with an "updated message" about multiculturalism, global warming, and the heartbreak of psoriasis? The original did just fine with a great moral message. Gort! Klaatu, Barada, Nikto!
Totally. As I understand it, they were originally cast to play each others' roles, but early on decided to swap roles! (Great decision!!)
If Hollywood desecrates that one, they might as well do The Man Who Would Be King next.
May both Connery and Caine stomp them flat!

If you want to be scared, read John Wood Campbells classic short story, "Who Goes There?: upon which the movies were based. In my opinion neither movie lived up to the original although the Carpenter remake was better.
One of the best Science Fiction short stories of all time is Isaac Asimov's "Nightfall". If you can find the original, and not the butchered longer made for movie version, in print you'll be awed by a story set on a planet with multiple suns that gets complete darkness once in a thousand years. It was inspired by the Ralph Waldo Emerson quote, "If the stars should appear but one night in a thousand years, how would men believe, and adore and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the City of God which they had seen."
Save your time and money. All the movie versions were pretty horrible, but the first one was the absolute worst piece of junk ever put on the screen, It was worse than "Robot Monster" and that says a lot.
Well, I might forgive Optimus for that one. No one I knew liked Hot Rod as Rodimus Prime... You had to bring Optimus back! I mean, the decepticons had Galvatron!! Who did the autobots have? Judd Nelson voicing Hot Rod?
Bah. Grew up with the show and loved Judd Nelson as Hot Rod. Big fan of Rodimus. That said it still didn't bother me that Optimus returned as he is of course the greatest Transformer ever. Hot Rod is still my personal favorite though.
If you haven't seen the movie though don't judge it. I had tons of transformer toys as a kid and have the whole series on dvd now and I was actually pleasantly suprised by the movie. I own that on dvd now as well.
(Note to self ... put asterix beside "Prophetic Joe" ... he's nuts.)
Well my brother was a big Ultra-Magnus fan
Now that's who should have took over. Ultra Magnus, Should have had the matrix. He was way more responsible. See below..
For DOC and JOE...

It is probably easier to name good remakes.
NONE! and NEVER WILL BE!
NONE! and NEVER WILL BE!
well how could you possibly know It they were bad? Get Smart was very funny, Walking tall was pretty good, The pink panther W Steve Martin was halarous if you like him, And the longest yard wasn't bad.
I will agree that many remakes are terrible or just un original (ie Phsyco) but the ones you selected not to watch are not the worst. For What if is worth I love all 4 of the Origional plant of the apes films and I thought the remake was very good.
