Teaser Poster For Legendary Picture's Godzilla Reboot Revealed

  It's not much, but us Godzilla fans are super excited that at least something has been revealed about the new movie.

The top 5 worst remakes/reboots

5. The Mummy (1999 Remake)
This is a very, very loose remake of the 1932 horror film. Now I haven't actually seen the 1932 film yet, but I'm sure it's way better than this movie. The acting, the plot, the characters, they all suck. At times it's so silly, but not in a good way. It feels like a really bad kids movie, only with more violence. It's not good.

4. Batman Begins (2005 Reboot)
I'm sure many people will disagree with me on this, but this movie totally messed up Batman. It takes him way too seriously, they chose the most boring villain ever, Ra's Al Ghul, and Bale totally overdid the Batman voice. The begining is so long and drawn out, and it gets really boring. And the city he's in doesn't even feel like Gotham, because it's not gothic enough. Burton's 1989 film was much better. It got Gotham right, it had a better Batman actor, it was more exciting, and had better music too.

3. Godzilla VS Megaguirus (2000 Semi-Reboot)
This movie is a sequel to the original Godzilla, but ignores everything afterwards, so I guess you could call it a semi-reboot. It's really boring, and just has this depressing feel to it. The human characters are really lame too. The only cool thing about it is Megaguirus, and a return of the Meganulon from Rodan, everything else in the movie is crap.
Another that's really bad worth mentioning is Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All Out Attack. What a great title, right? It's about as bad as VS Megaguirus, and like that one it is a sequel to the original Godzilla and ignores everything in the middle. Baragon is actually really awesome in that movie, his battle with Godzilla is sweet. But the final battle with Mothra and Ghirorah is rather bland. The actors are just horrible, and the characters they play and boring. Also the monster suits, excluding Baragon's, aren't very good. A lot of people love it, but I couldn't watch it all in one sitting.

2. Karate Kid (2010 Remake)
It doesn't even make sense. It's called "Karate Kid", so you would think it's about Karate, right? No, he's learning Kung Fu. The camera is shaky, and no one is as likable as they were in the 80's film. Everyone's whiny and they seem depressed. Also, in the original the kid would learn karate by doing chores. He would do moves like "Sand the floor", or "wax on, wax off", but in this movie it's "Pick up the jacket". How lame is that? Plus the kid is only 12 years old, he knows this girl for maybe 2 weeks, and they start kissing already. What the heck?

1. Godzilla (1998 Remake)
This movie is pretty boring, and the monster isn't nearly as cool as the Japanese Godzilla, but the quality of the film is only half the problem. Now the majority of people in America under the age of 20 haven't heard of the Japanese Godzilla, only the thing in this movie, and that is just sad. Plus the Godzilla fanbase is filled with angry fanboys who won't shut up about it. It's been almost 15 years since it was made, it's time to just forget about it, but it seems they just don't want to. This film is just such a disaster.

The Wolfman (2010) Review

*******************************************SPOILER ALERT!**********************************************

  I am a big fan of the original 1941 Wolf Man movie. He's my favorite Universal monster, so I got interested in seeing the remake from 2010. As far as remakes go, it's not totally horrible. I've definitely seen worse.
  Plot goes like this, Lawrence Talbot is visiting his father and gets bit by a werewolf, he kills a bunch of people and goes to an asylum, he finds out his father is also a werewolf, he kills some more people, he fights his dad and kills him, and then gets killed himself.
  It starts out pretty good, it feels like a Wolfman movie, but they change the storyline a bit. In the original Larry is testing a telescope and spots a girl, he goes to her shop to talk to her and buys a special cane with a silver wolf head on it. He takes her and her friend to get their fortune told by some gypsies, and they get attacked by a werewolf. He kills the werewolf with the silver cane after getting bit, and that's how he gets the curse. In this he meets an old man on a train who gives him the cane, and then it doesn't appear again until the very end. It doesn't really have much to do with the story, I think it's really just there because they wanted to pay homage to the original movie more.
  He does meet a girl, but she doesn't have a very big effect on the plot, unlike the original where the girl is a lot more important and indirectly caused him to be bitten by the wolf.
  Kinda like Tim Burton's Sleepy Hallow, they try to make the main character more interesting by giving him more background story. And like Sleepy Hallow, it was unnecessary, and didn't make me like the character any more. If they wanted to make him more likable, they needed to try to replicate what Lon Chaney Junior did. His acting was just much more dramatic, and I liked the character more. But in this Benicio Del Toro was just kinda blah through the whole movie, and I really didn't care about him much.
  There's a lot of boring parts, and a lot of scenes that try to make you jump, but they don't really work too well.
  The end was cool when both him and his father were werewolves fighting each other. I always wanted to see two werewolves fight. And then when there was an angry mob with a bunch of torches going after the monster. That's when it started to feel more like a Universal monster movie.
  At the end he catches his girlfriend and hesitates killing her. I didn't really like that too much. He's not supposed to have feelings for her when he's a wolf, all he wants to do is kill, or at least that's the way it should be.
  So anyway, she ends up killing him with a silver bullet, he turns into a human and they have an emotional moment together, and that's really it. Of course it's going to have flaws, and it's not going to be as good as the original, but as far as remakes go it's not too bad. At least it doesn't demolish the Wolfman's good name like some other remakes have done to other characters. And I'm glad it only uses CGI when it really needs to. If you are a fan of Universal Monsters and the Wolfman, go ahead and check it out. Just remember it's not going to be that great.

My Rating: 6/10
