Disagree.
How can anyone possibly believe the 2004 remake is the worst remake ever?
How many remakes of movies have you actually seen? There are countless worse efforts.
Aside from perceived opinions on a movie, why post a question on a board that relates to a different movie? It makes no sense whatsoever.
I cannot fathom the amount of posters on this site that claim 'x' movie is the worst movie ever or other posts just being totally negative. One can only presume some members of this site create negative posts on message boards due to immature childlike behavioral patterns.
Time to grow up. -

It seems Hollywood is so inept at times, and so lacking in creativity that they resort to remaking classics or doing sequel after sequel.
Trying to remake this classic just reveals how Hollywood has lost their creative juices and figure what the hell, let's just remake, say Casablanca or Gone With The Wind. Leave these great movies alone and come up with something new. If today's younger audiences can't relate to an old movie like this then tough! It's their loss and their own stupidity in refusing to give these a chance.
As for adding "new" characters (a black or woman) this too is typical. It seems in most movies today few characters are over 50 years old and none are under 16. Of course, every girl/woman has to be a cover girl and the guys are hunks. I have nothing against looking at hot girls but we do live in the real world (I hope) and not everyone is gorgeous.
Today I guess the producers figured all male character movie might limit their audience so they add various groups to broaden the appeal. That's fine if the movie is about present events. But when a movie is set back in time you have to examine what the population make-up was. You don't have to add blacks or whoever to be PC. Just do so b/c it accurately reflects the make-up of the area/region you are setting the movie in. -

"and what about the plane being covered in sand after a storm".
That scene, the most insulting scene in a movie I've seen, destroyed this flick. One is not to believe that what's left of the crew, fatigued, lacking water, is digging out the plane covered in sand "by hand", subsequently to carve out a cleared path to taxi, a path that appeared to have been neatly bulldozed, while fending off an armed band of desert rabble, looking to avenge the deaths of their comrades within a day. There is absolutely no way one could believe those scenes, given the physically depleted, fatigued and thirsty crew in the hot desert sun can possibly do what they did in that short of time, while dealing with an armed band of desert rabble ready to pounce them at a moment's notice. Insulting nonsense.. Today's films are just laughable at how easily they insult the intelligence of viewers nowadays.
