Sooner or later, every cult movie gets a remake or sequel. But the sequel doesn’t always live up to the original, as viewers expect the same gripping plot and more impressive effect. It turns out that, sometimes, we witness true failures at the box office, low ratings and unflattering reviews from viewers.
O incredible.club dedicated this article to the reshoots that didn’t please many moviegoers. And as a bonus, there is a vivid example that even remakes of the most famous and beloved animations can fall into disrepute.
The public did not forgive the filmmakers for the absence of Jim Carrey in the film. By the way, initially the actor agreed to the shooting, but then he refused the role. Although he was offered a fee of 7 million dollars.
Son of the Mask was nominated for seven Golden Raspberry Awards and received an IMDb rating of 2.2.
I’ve always been a huge fan of The Mask with Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz. Why did they make such a terrible sequel? The script was incredibly silly and clichéd to say the least, with nothing in common with its excellent predecessor. The scenarios are very reminiscent of old Disney cartoons. © bellino-angelo2014 / IMDbThe comedy disappoints from the start and keeps you baffled until the closing credits. I didn’t expect such a big deal. Long and very boring scenes, full of completely superfluous and exaggerated special effects. The creators’ efforts to make something really similar to the original film were unsuccessful. © poloyashka / Kinopoisk
Mischievous Kevin happens to be left home alone, and his family goes on vacation to Japan. During that time, two thieves try to break into the house to steal a rare family heirloom. But they have no idea what awaits them and the pitfalls of the resourceful little boy.
Audiences and film critics alike were outraged by the remake of the original Home Alone, which had Macaulay Culkin in the lead role. The new version was considered bland and with a boring cast selection. The comedy received an IMDb rating of 3.6 and mostly negative reviews.
It’s a completely unnecessary remake of the Christmas cult classic, and yet another example of how the new version turns out to be significantly worse than the original. It is not possible to feel positive emotions about the plot because of the repetition of the original story, outdated humor and frankly boring characters. © Alex Croft / KinopoiskLeave the classics alone! Nobody needs this sequel, and nobody asked for this complete bullshit. Waste of time. © itsabacus2009 / IMDbThe creators made a huge mistake, and they are well aware of it. For me there are only Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. Everything else is nonsense. © zombion / Kinopoisk
In the new version, the participants of the board game are a group of friends led by Dwayne Johnson. Despite the stellar cast, the film received mixed reviews from Jumanji fans. Some considered the film a very good family comedy with an engaging plot, while others were disappointed with the acting, the lame jokes and the clichéd script.
1995’s Jumanji is an excellent film. The remake is impossible to watch. Everything is pretty bad: the plot, the script, the jokes. Nothing good. © fensser / IMDbI wanted to walk out of the theater after the first ten minutes of the movie. © ionela-46277 / IMDbThe best thing about this movie is the end credits, because you know the suffering is finally over. © veselahanapraha / IMDb
The creators of this sci-fi trilogy had no intention of releasing a sequel after the third part of Matrix Revolutions. “They just don’t want to make another movie. There will not be a fourth Matrix,” said producer Joel Silver.
However, the prediction turned out to be wrong, and in December 2021, the new part of the iconic film franchise was released, which caused great anticipation among Neo and Trinity fans. Matrix Resurrections received a 5.7 rating on IMDb and mixed reviews.
The acting is terrible. The action scenes are very slow and predictable, even my 2 year old is faster. The whole story is not about Neo. The ending didn’t answer any questions. Worst movie of 2021, I guarantee it. © messis / IMDbSomehow the creators managed to turn a good, deep and philosophical film into a cheap, melodramatic and zombie action at the same time. Don’t watch it, it’s a waste of time. © tamim-31136 / IMDbVery long conversations where the story just loses its momentum. The action scenes are extremely dull and boring. It felt like I was watching a cheap movie on a DVD player. I also really missed the legendary Morpheus and Agent Smith. © dravensuo / IMDb
The new Lara Croft, played by actress Alicia Vikander, caused a controversial reaction in the public. Fans of the game series and the original movie found her image and physical characteristics inconsistent with the game’s famous character. However, Alicia herself has said that she wouldn’t mind returning to the role of Lara Croft for a second installment in the film.
The new Lara Croft, as a protagonist, does not please. Above all, he lacks a sincere adventurism. She’s kind of ordinary. And the plot feels unnatural. Not what I expected from a remake of an iconic franchise. © Anne_Maria / KinopoiskThe opening and opening credits were so boring they put me to sleep. I knew immediately that the pace of the film and the script would be terrible. And I was right, it lacked action. Also, many scenes were cut. © digitalbeach*** / IMDbAlicia Vikander is certainly a pretty girl, but she’s not cut out for this role. And this is evident. Angelina Jolie embodied Lara Croft very well: a fatal beauty with powerful charisma, she is firm in her decisions and self-confident. The plot is as mediocre as it gets, there is no atmosphere. © EugeneHarris / Kinopoisk
The remake of the 1998 French film received an IMDb rating of 4.5 and was negatively received by critics. And this despite the script for the feature being written by Luc Besson himself.
This is a perfect example of how not to make a movie. I don’t laugh once during the whole movie, although I usually find everything funny. So please, if you want to see the movie Taxi, you better watch the original. © lektroluv / IMDbI don’t understand how it was possible to turn the wonderful film Taxi — Speed on the Streets into this. No humor, no plot, no acting, no action. © rizzo_tha_rat / IMDb
The absence of one of the most striking characters, an excessive amount of dramatic events and an obsessive focus on serious social problems were the reasons for the criticism of the long-awaited sequel.
Kim Cattrall declined to play Samantha due to a strained long-term relationship with the casting staff and the amount of pay. And that’s despite being offered $350,000 per episode. By the way, Sarah Jessica Parker earned 3.2 million dollars per episode.
If before it was a series about confident and successful women in their 30s, the continuation ended up being about grandmothers who fell into insanity. It’s as if the characters have been locked in a basement for 10 years and are now baffled by the brave new world around them. The costumes were also poorly chosen. It was enough to have shown new hobbies, a successful career, achievements, but the authors only came up with ideas for gray hair and a hearing aid. © Tipsy Pony / KinopoiskI’m a 37-year-old man who grew up watching Sex and the City. I’ve watched every entire season probably three times in the last 14 years with my wife. But this continuation is really depressing. And Samantha’s absence is like a black hole on the screen. © royaltalentcompany / IMDbEach episode of the original sitcom was 30 minutes long. It was light, witty and funny. Now it’s more like a 40-minute drama, devoid of the zest that made Sex and the City famous. © kamtv / IMDb
The new film received an IMDb rating of 4.4 and was coolly received by audiences and film critics alike. Reasons for negative reviews: the performance of the main character, played by LeBron James, lack of humor and weak plot.
Two hours of continuous advertising. From start to finish. Bad acting, weak characters and bad plot. It’s sad to see Space Jam fail so badly. © swimnichols / IMDbThe immortal classic of my childhood had its new version simply laughed at. After watching it, I felt like watching the original movie with Michael Jordan to try to forget the remake once and for all. © C_B_J / KinopoiskThe cinema was full and for 2 hours not a single laugh. Deathly silence inside. © lindabrown-01437 / IMDb
The action comedy Men in Black, starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, was a real hit in 1997. The two subsequent installments were also quite successful and performed well at the box office. Audiences fell in love with the two extremely different partners: comic Agent Jay and serious Agent Kay.
The fourth sequel in the franchise, starring Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson, was panned and received a 5.6 rating on IMDb.
If you liked the Men in Black movies with Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, then this last part has nothing to do with them. While watching, I got so bored that I even had to turn the game on on my cell phone to keep from falling asleep. I do not recommend. © emelnik / IMDbMy rating: neither good nor bad. Like an undercooked pie, that is, it looks good, but it’s raw inside. The story is similar: explosions, special effects, cool actors, and all this with a weak plot and superficial jokes. Simply banal. I’d rather rewatch the first movie. © horuzhenkoevgeny / Kinopoisk
It’s probably hard to find a person who doesn’t know what Mortal Kombat is. Originally a video game series and then a feature film in 1995. They became true phenomena at the time and conquered multitudes of fans around the world.
In 2021, the long-awaited sequel was released. Unfortunately, despite the multi-million box office, the public’s expectations were not met.
The 1995 original is much better. I’m a longtime fan of the franchise and I consider this movie an insult to Mortal Kombat. © wlee-63611 / IMDbVery bad acting. I’ve been waiting for this movie for over 20 years and I’m completely disappointed with the ending. How was it possible to film Mortal Kombat and not even do normal casting for the roles? © finch-86316 / IMDb
