Get Carter 2000 was pretty bad esp if U watch the original one. To fans of the original news of a remake was treated with disdain and when it came out it was as bad as they imagined it would be..
ideally it should'nt have been made but beep it they were gonna do it anyway so they should've done some things different :
-made it edgier, more violent, more killings, got Sly to be more like Caines Carter - Sly came off as just acting like a tough guy, not a real genuine one like Caine (no go around saying I'm gonna have to take this to next level etc), no silly goatee (also looked silly in EX1/2 in fact I kept thinking of Get Carter watching those due to the goatee..good that he's got shot of it for 3) also maybe itd have been better setting the remake in the UK with Sly coming over to London from USA and had someone like Guy Ritchie direct at least that way it might've retained some of the originals feel/tone
