welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for another top
ten movies that deserve a remake
before we begin we publish new videos
every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content for this list will be
ranking films that were either poorly
received deeply flawed or could
otherwise benefit from a modern update
we’re not saying that these flicks don’t
possess merit or don’t have fans but
rather commenting on how a remake could
perhaps do them a little good trust if
you don’t see a movie you think should
be on the list be sure to check out our
videos for the top 10 movies that
deserve a remake and the top 10 movie
remakes we actually want to see number
10 the giver this 2014 adaptation of
Lois Lowry’s 1993 dystopian novel made
its money back but failed to deliver
critically for some fans of the source
material I apologize
although not as dusty as some of the
other films on this list the themes of
emotion and responsibility could
certainly merit from another take on The
Giver
ideally one that fixes these issues the
source material was aimed at young
adults and this could still be the focus
but delving deeper into character and
plot with less attention placed on
visual style could do wonders in getting
the message of the giver to audiences of
all ages he was asked if he was strong
enough it turns out he was not number 9
the shadow who knows what evil lurks in
the hearts of men the shadow knows
unfortunately he didn’t know his movie
was it done you’re right
directed by Russell Moki who is known
for the slick music video style of films
such as Highlander the results as seen
in the movie are actually quite fun if
your head comes away from your neck it’s
old on the film side of the shadow
franchise could benefit from some modern
touch-ups however while perhaps scaling
down a bit of the originals reliance on
style but you said he was only a rumor
I’m sick of the shadows
keeping Benoir mood and tone would be
good for the movie but grounding the
shadow somewhat in the reality of let’s
say Batman could actually do wonders for
the franchise to live again on the big
screen
number 8 Silent Hill fans have been
frightened of the Silent Hill video game
franchise ever since it debuted back in
1999 cinematic adaptations of this
survival horror classic have been less
than well received however which is a
shame given the source material
frightening reputation how could this be
remedied
well maybe looking back at some classic
horror ideas to work using practical
effects tense storytelling and moody
camerawork could give the world of
Silent Hill the audience and critical
reception it deserves the video games
did a superb job of immersing the player
in this atmospheric temperamental
universe and it would be great if a new
Silent Hill movie could do the same I’m
Barney number 7
The Lone Ranger Disney had high hopes
for The Lone Ranger and spent over 150
million dollars in marketing to push a
film that already random a bill of at
least 225 million for a fast hm and then
the film only grossed a total of 260
million worldwide
is it possible for the Lone Ranger to
ride again like he’s the Lone Ranger
well creating a better balance between
the Ranger and his companion Tonto would
be great for starters as Johnny Depp’s
performance as the quote American Indian
distracted from the comparatively dull
army hammer and then come up casting
aside making the Lone Ranger a more
direct story as opposed to a bloated
blockbuster could also make great
strides in ensuring the Sun doesn’t set
on this iconic Western hero
number six Max Payne video game
adaptations were always a dicey
proposition when it comes to the world
of cinema yet 2008 Max Payne was
actually a financial success despite a
wealth of negative reviews a gritty
modern update could bring the best of
both worlds to the table however giving
us a Max Payne film that could please
casual audiences and Fanta light taking
a cue from Netflix is Marvel content
such as daredevil could be a step in the
right direction limiting the excessive
camera effects of the original Max Payne
and paying more attention to character
development alongside all of the
expected action couldn’t hurt either
number 5
Street Fighter I know you like to look
at yourself on television mystics mmm so
look at this
street fighter possesses the distinction
of being one of the most enjoyable
bonkers movies to ever hit cinema there
joking still this classic beat’em up
video game series is arguably the most
popular and influential of its kind so
why not give it another shot gamers have
grown up with characters such as ken Ryu
and chun-li and there’s enough backstory
to this universe that a relatively
serious respectful adaptation could
totally be achieved this would be quite
a change from the live-action films
campy tone and one which Street Fighter
fans would likely welcome with open arms
exactly what I wanted to to think
number four green lantern well thank you
this has been really no I mean a lot of
us look how I’m not mad at you good luck
finding anyone who actually liked this
movie a meandering and dull story
brought down even more by bad writing
and campy CGI not even leading man Ryan
Reynolds could salvage this trainwreck
brightest day in blackest night no evil
shall escape my eyes
guardians of the galaxy successfully
brought the Marvel Cinematic Universe to
space so now is the perfect time for
DC’s galactic cop to do the same for the
Justice League as long as they learn
from their mistakes keep the supersuit
green but not animated and maybe just
maybe we can all let Reynolds forget
about this 2011 embarrassment March
strong as in this – Wow
what went wrong while you assess
innocent lives will be lost
let me take the fight to this new enemy
there is much of what you are not aware
of Sinestro number 3 The Green Hornet
this adaptation of the classic 1930s
radio hero was actually a financial
success back when it was released in
2011 bringing in approximately 227
million dollars on a hundred and twenty
million dollar budget still the film
wasn’t given much love and fans haven’t
exactly been clamoring for a season so
perhaps a remake is in order
crying doesn’t matter when you always
fail given that the Green Hornet is a
very old-school superhero updating the
mythology is key the 2011 version did
achieve this in a way but many
moviegoers just didn’t see Seth Rogen as
the superhero type so perhaps some
recasting will also pave the way for a
solid Green Hornet adaptation to hit the
screen okay now we can end this number 2
the Star Wars prequel trilogy please
don’t look at me like that there’s a
huge debate as to the quality of the
Star Wars prequel on one hand there are
a ton of great moments in all three
films that give them great merit then
again there’s also some cringe-worthy
dialogue and a mishandled love story
there everything is soft
and smooth not to mention an excessive
amount of dated CGI effects you need
only look at the success of the force
awakens and wrote one to see how the
prequels could be improved however by
taking things back to basics tell a
simple and direct story about Anakin
Skywalker’s fall to the dark side
bring back the creature effects and
realistic lightsaber duels and you might
have a recipe for remake success number
one Dungeons & Dragons millions of dmg
fans can’t be wrong
ah and those same fans deserve a good
movie unfortunately this wasn’t exactly
what fans were hoping for fantasy don’t
have come a long way since 2000 however
oh what a relief I’ll be thanking you
when they cut my head off and that might
be the key to making a proper Dungeons &
Dragons adaptation I do that boy and
talent this is made especially true
given that the franchise itself doesn’t
possess an established set of characters
or plot material upon which to adhere
this could give filmmakers carte blanche
to create a sprawling immersive world of
wizards warriors elves dragons and more
all maybe without marlon wayans looking
for somebody in particular or you just
looking for
somebody do you agree with our picks
