Which remake are you looking forward to the most?

I think if it’s the sequel to or number three or four in the franchise then it isn’t a remake.

Some of the others listed aren’t remakes either.

I meant to put sequel in the question, but it was too late to edit it. Notice that I mentioned sequels and adaptations in the details.

I do not look forward to any of them.

I can always rely on your blanket statement of cynicism lol

Be realistic.
We all know those sequels/remakes are going to be awful at worst, mediocre at best cash-grabs.
Why?
Because that is what these kinds of movies have almost always been.
Maybe there is going to be an exception á la Jumanji remake, but face it, even that one can hardly be described as “high art”.

Based off the talent involved, Christopher Robin, Mary Poppins Returns, The Lion King, Toy Story 4, Wicked, Halloween, and Mowgli have the highest chance of being good to great in my opinion.

I hate most all sequels and franchise movies. It makes me think audiences don’t want to be upset by anything unfamiliar, like toddlers who will watch one DVD over and over and over. And it’s sad that people make so much money being lazy.

Anyway….A Star is Born is the only one on the list that piques my interest. Gaga seems like an old-time trouper with the attitude of, “These people paid for a show and I’m going to give them their money’s worth!”

It’s her first (I think) headline role and I think she will nail it.

I’ll gladly watch anything related to Sherlock Holmes, Winnie the Pooh, Mary Poppins, and The Jungle Book.

Some of the other animated Disney movies might be worth watching too.

I’m a fan of original, independent films, but I’m also a sucker for watching a different take on previously made material, as long as it’s done well with artistic merit. I don’t get why you think it’s such a bad thing.

“a different take on previously made material, as long as it’s done well with artistic merit.”
Most sequels and remakes are not that.

@ragingloli

I agree, but the majority of movies aren’t good. So it’s not surprising that the majority of sequels and remakes aren’t good.

My alternative scale is:

Looking forward to: 0
Somehwat willing to maybe give a chance, with low expectations: 7
Appreciated the original, will avoid the sequel: 7
Don’t care about: 19
Don’t even know what the original is: 3
Disliked the original, will avoid the sequel: 5
Will try hard to avoid: 3

And the winners are . . .

I was actually quite surprised by this exercise. There are far fewer in the “Don’t even know what the original is” and other very negative categories, than I would have expected.

Wait, no more Guardians?
Men In Black, maybe. I’ll have to see the trailer.
Legally Blonde movies are cheezy, but I get a kick out of them anyway.

In answer to your question, I’m not.

Indy 4 wasn’t very good, and I hope 5 can take the bad taste out of my mouth.
I am not really eager for any of these.

Dumbo is live action directed by Tim Burton!

Toy Story 4 is a romantic comedy-drama about Woody trying to find Bo Beep, I think it sounds adorable

I’m waiting for Toy Story V. Rubik’s cube gets all mixed up, and goes on a fact seeking journey, only to discover the solution was right at home all along.

Nothing on that list sparked the least bit of interest.

@rockfan
We all know Woody can only get his buzz from lightyear’s fist laser.
