When they remade Total Recall, I thought the OG was better because I am an action fan and the Swrtzenegger one is jam packed with action.
I went into Dredd kinda expecting a similar thing, but nah. It’s way better than the Stallone one as a action movie. The Stallone one I now consider a comedy, instead. “Eat recycled food. It’s good for the environment and OK for you.”
For Total Recall, the point was that the state of the film was ambiguious. Were the events on screen the memories bought and paid for, or was it a real spy thriller.
The remake answeres that question and ruins the entire premice of the film. This is a key example on why these Hollywoo “remakes” are widely panned, they usually miss the point of the origional art and audiences are dumber for it.
