Top 20 Worst Movies That Deserve a Remake

funny funny he's our man if he can't kill him the war welcome to watch Mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 20 worst movies that deserve a [Music] remake number 20 The Giver this 2014 adaptation of Lois Lowry's 1993 dystopian novel made it 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 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 were strong enough it turns out he was not number 19 the shadow who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men the shadow knows unfortunately he didn't know his movie was a dud you're right you're right directed by Russell mahe who is known for the slick music video style of films such as Highlander the results as seen in this movie are actually quite fun if your head comes away from your neck it's over 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 Shadow business keeping the Noir mood and tone would be a good move but grounding the Shadows somewhat in the reality of let's say Batman could actually do wonders for this franchise to live again on the big screen number 18 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 what's happening which is a shame given the source materials frightening [Applause] reputation how could this be remedied well maybe looking back to some classic horror ideas could work using practical effects tense storytelling and Moody camera work 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 look at me I'm burning number 17 The Lone Ranger Disney had high hopes for the Lone Ranger and spent over $150 million in marketing to push a film that already ran the them a bill of at least $225 million wait jum what about the passengers they jump and then the film only grossed a total of $260 million worldwide is it possible for The Lone Ranger to ride again but he's the L 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 my name 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 16 Max Pain video game adaptations are always a dicey proposition when it comes to the world of Cinema yet 2008's max pain 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 pain film that could please casual audiences and fans alike limiting the excessive camera effects of the original max pain and paying more attention to character development alongside all of the expected action couldn't hurt either number 15 Street Fighter I know you like to look at yourself on television you're six and of a [ __ ] so look at this although the term bad movie is naturally all up to perception Street Fighter possesses the distinction of being one of the most enjoyably Bonkers movies to ever hit Cinemas you're joking still this classic beat him 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 Lee 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 liveaction film's campy tone and one which street fighter fans would likely welcome with open arms that's exactly what I wanted you to think number 14 Green Lantern well thank you this has been really I know I made a lot of mistake 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 train wreck Brightest Day and Blackest Night no evil shall Escape my sight guardians of the galaxies successfully brought the Marvel Cinematic Universe to space so now is a 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 super suit green but not animated and maybe just maybe we can all let Reynolds forget about this 2011 embarrassment Mark Strong is in this thing too 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 which you are not aware Sinestro number 13 The Green Hornet the 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 on a $120 million budget still the film wasn't given much love and fans haven't exactly been clamoring for a sequel so perhaps a remake is in order trying doesn't matter when you always fail given that the Green Hornet is a very old school superhero updating the mythology is key the 20 11 version did achieve this in a way but many movie goers just didn't see Seth Rogan 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 12 the Star Wars prequel trilogy there's a huge debate as to the quality of the Star Wars prequels please don't look at me like that on one hand there's a ton of Great Moments in all three films that give them great Merit then again there's there's also some cringeworthy dialogue and a mishandled love story not like here here everything is soft and smooth not to mention an excessive amount of dated CGI effects tell a simple and direct story about Anakin Skywalkers fall to the dark side bring back the creature effects and realistic lightsaber duels and you might have a recipe for remake [Music] success beone with him number 11 sphere Michael kryton's novels Spawn from truly creative ideas and are Laden with fascinating Concepts so it's a shame that there hasn't been a truly great adaptation of his book since Jurassic Park it's it's a dinosaur uhhuh we'd love to see his Visions for timeline or Congo get another at bat in the movie world but it's sphere that most deserves a second chance after the discovery of a mysterious spacecraft on the Pacific ocean floor an expedition of scientists investigates so you're saying that spacecraft crashed in the year uh 1709 so you're saying the spacecraft crashed 300 years ago 288 they discover among other things the titular sphere and its enigmatic contents come with some dangerous psychological implications but the 98 film never tapped into the story's full potential and the result was a sluggish bore reimagined amongst modern Ai and Tech technological conversations sphere could be a winner for the New Millennium no no no that that's all right no Jerry Jerry very important nothing more right now please okay Jerry you have to stop number 10 Aragon better to L forgiveness and permission the first entry in The Inheritance cycle fantasy novel series was self-published by the still teenaged author Christopher palini and his family back in 2002 did someone mention flying are you ready to try again Dragon Rider it quickly gained an Ardent fan base and received the big budget movie treatment only a few years later to a balanced sentiment of both excitement and skepticism come Taste the Blood of your dragon let's finish this although the author himself approved of the translation critics were not so forgiving with many accusing film story of being too derivative of the Star Wars and the Lord of the Rings franchises while also remarking on the inexperience of the firsttime director Steven fangmeier without fear there cannot be courage but when we are together it is our enemies who should be afraid we hoping another stab at an adaptation would be able to highlight what fans had loved about it in the first place I'm sorry that's all there is number nine [Music] Catwoman Selena Kyle AKA Catwoman is a great character yet no one has quite been able to present the smart sexy and dangerous burglar properly on the big screen well not since Tim Burton meow case in point this 2004 bomb which by all accounts has to be one of the worst comic book adaptations ever filmed get over guess what it's overtime hi Barry stars as patience Phillips a new incarnation of the anti- heroine in what is essentially another origin story you died but you were reborn oh you're crazy you are a crazy cat lady unfortunately a daff script exaggerated performances and some of the most cringeworthy CGI imaginable make this cat's Clause utterly harmless but hey at least cats have nine lives and that means they have at least a few more chances to revamp this feline fem fatal you're just a scared little girl playing dress up number eight Alexander conquer your fear and I promise you you will conquer death granted director Oliver Stone may have already inundated the market with his disappointing 2004 history historical drama but we say that there's still a demand out there for the story of Alexander the Great to be told and told well a king isn't born Alexander he's made by Steel and by suffering sure Colin frell may not have completely convinced in the title role but Stone's film wasn't entirely without Merit telling an epic tale during an era when films Like Gladiator and Troy were still fresh in people's minds maybe instead of yet another re-edit of the Oliver Stone version though some other upand cominging director could add a fresh spin to the story of this intriguing iconic World Conqueror never will there be an Alexander like you Alexander the Great number seven Jonah Hex I have cofidence sure you don't e eight cut him down comic book Cowboys don't get much better than Jonah Hex considered an A-list DC anti-hero with a powerful fan base the craggy faed but cool Vagabond has a story that's ripe for a great action flick you don't look so tough look tough to me coupled with a superb cast and Josh Brolin's Charisma this movie should have been a winner unfortunately it was messy unloved by critics and unable to seamlessly convey the world of the comics but Jonah's story comes with plenty of chapters from his Civil War days to his time as a bounty hunter to his heartbreaking in friendship with another literal Lone Wolf he even teams up with the Justice League at one point Jonah heex is a complicated and enthralling character who deserves a good movie or at least a Justified DCU Cameo still got that daringer in your bule no I took it about that knife in your Garder took it what about that took it all Jonah I searched you for darn good didn't they number six Pearl Harbor there's nothing stronger than the heart of a volunteer Jack Michael B Drew critical ey when he decided to adapt the 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor into a romantic dramatization starring Ben Affleck Kate beckin sale and Josh hartnet I think World War II just hit us many cried foul at the film's historical inaccuracies and love triangle subplot While others focused on Ba's penchant for Relentless explosions Pearl Harbor did reap significant financial rewards at the box office however and we think the story could still be done Justice if placed in the hands of someone capable of balancing both action and storytelling in the proper ratio not anxious to die sir just anxious to matter number five the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen what are you I'm complicated based on the celebrated comic book series this was another case of Hollywood not properly following the source material preferring instead to create a straightforward big budget action film following Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neal's tale of fantastic fictional characters from history they're indestructible no just arm play it truth be told the film works fine in that respect but fans and critics alike still bed at the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and plans for a franchise quickly fizzled out 2015 first Unearthed rumors of a reboot however so the time May yet still come for Alan quarter Dr Jackal Tom Sawyer and Captain Nemo to rebuild their league on the big or small screen try your pist I walk a different parts number four Masters of the Universe Justice for He-Man while the cast of Masters of the Universe particularly Franklin Jella es Skeletor did the best they could with what they were given the film was a critical flop yes I feel it the power FS me when you're adapting such a beloved franchise you've got to give extra special care to the details which the 1987 movie did not instead it was seen as a ripoff of superior action fantasy films such as Star Wars and Conan the Barbarian a remake was in the works at Netflix but between the entertainment strikes of 2023 and some failed negotiations sadly the new film ended before it could begin hopefully whatever work was done could be salvaged and we'll finally get the Masters of the Universe Masterpiece we've been waiting for [Music] I number three Ghost Rider as hard as it is to admit there are some things that even Nicholas Cage can't save [Music] although Ghost Rider did good business it was torn apart by both critics and fans of the Marvel character many agreed the over-the-top dialogue and the campy tone were Unworthy of a character known for his rugged demeanor and twisted storylines look into my eyes the brass over at Marvel must have taken the hint as filmgoers haven't seen much of Johnny Blaze since the film's 2012 sequel the Robbie Reyes version of the character has since appeared in ABC's Agents of Shield but we'll gladly sell our souls to give the OG a second chance on the big screen can someone get Ki Reeves on the phone how does it feel to have all that evil inside of you all their power their souls number two spawn you're dead d d dead the late '90s didn't exactly Foster the same comic friendly Cinema climate we enjoy today y wrong Michael ji white stars as Creator Todd McFarland's betrayed military man who sells his soul to the devil in order to return to the woman he loves only to find out that she's remarried his best friend in the 5 years since his death I still love one put her in the past it's the only way you can be free we think that a character with such a tragic backstory needs to make a serious comeback not to mention the fact that spawn himself is practically the definition of badass as he fights demons and Devils for his very Soul make this one happen Hollywood and do it [Music] right before we continue be sure to subscribe to our Channel and ring the bell to

number one The Golden Compass is that all coming out in the wake of The Chronicles of Narnia Harry Potter and the Lord of the Rings franchises The Golden Compass has been described as one of the most disappointing adaptations ever shying away from Philip Pullman's Source material it was criticized for blunting the anti-catholic sentiment within the film while religious organizations complained about how said themes stemmed from from The Source material prove to me that you are a demon ask me something only you know how did I become king however with several years having gone by since it's release perhaps it'll soon be the right time to re-evaluate once again and attempt to bring Pullman's tail to life Mrs called her what's that that is the magisterial seed lra are there any movies that
