#47: What is the worst ever remake of a beloved classic?
Fall was the season in our last fight, and though it was a close one, Anne Shirley took the prize, for Iree as it were. This week Iree asks:
What is the worst ever remake of a beloved classic?
The Rules:
Post your answer as a comment. Make it clear that this is your official answer, one per member.
No profanity. No pornography.
Defend your answer in the comments and fight it out against other MFC members’ answers for the rest of the week.
Whoever gets the most likes on their official answer comment (and only that comment) by Friday night wins the fight. You may like (heart, whatever) as many answers as you want.
The winner gets the honor of posting the next question the following Saturday.
In the case of a tie, the member who posted the question will decide the winner.
Notes:
Only movies will qualify (no TV shows, or documentaries); however, films that air on television or streaming (BBC films, a stand-alone mini-series) will qualify.
Your answer can be as off-the-wall or controversial as you’d like. It will be up to you to defend it and win people to your side.Â
Fight it out.

Red Dawn 2012.
It wasn't that bad for the first two acts but completely fell apart in the third. The concept of a Chinese invasion utilizeing an EMP attack was a good, modern plot. It worked. But then the producers kowtow'd to pressure from studios to change the belligerent to North Korea. The hell? That little change made it completely implausible.
Plus, in the original all of the hero deaths were, you know, heroic. In this one they just happen. Okay, he's suddenly dead now. Bummer. No drama, no tears by the audience, just onto the next scene.
They planned on a sequel and left it hanging for that eventuality. But since it bombed that went nowhere.
What a disappointment.
And the worst remake is...Red Dawn 2012. Good match everyone. See you on Monday.
