I keep saying, remakes are the writers telling someone elses stories. Thinking it will be better that the first was. I have seen very few remakes that are worth a damn.

Reminds me of J Peterman buying Kramers' stories in Seinfeld.

I finally watched this over the weekend and holy shit...hilariously terrible.

McGregor's character is one of those where I legit have no idea what the hell they were thinking, it's one of the most ridiculous things ever put on film...all I did was just laugh at him and the utter bizarreness of it the entire time.

Horrible ending too....

What a joke of a movie.

They should have taken the same approach as 21 jump street or baywatch.

That said if you’re 20 and never heard of the original, it might have been enjoyable

Totally agree. I’d give it a 2 out of 10 and I’m being generous

Watched it the other night.. It’s not good but not bad enough to turn it off.. Conner probably didn’t have to take acting lessons to play his role.. Asshole comes naturally…

Nightcrawler didn't resonate with me for some reason. Probably worth a rewatch. Maybe I had a bad tunafish sandwich that day or something...

My JG faves gotta include Zodiac and October Sky. Gotta be in a very specific mood for Donnie Darko, but it's a good one. And yup, it's gay as hell, but Brokeback Mountain is pretty ****ing great. Does Spider-Man Far From Home count as a Jake G movie? I need to watch Source Code, I hear it's good.

Admission... it's total cheese, but I just can't help it, whenever I catch Day After Tomorrow on, I have to watch. It's crap, but I love it.

Watched Road House tonight. Not good, but I watched until the bitter end, so I guess that's something. Terrific sequences here and there, couple of laughs, but meh, I'm old and the original is the one for me. While ridiculous in its own right, it actually had competent actors; Swayze, Sam Elliott, Ben Gazzara, Kelly Lynch, Kevin Tighe, and of course, Terry Funk and John Doe. The clowns they got to surround JG were AWFUL. It was like a very high production value camera test. I kept waiting for them to look down to make sure they had hit their mark. Remake just wasn't satisfying, if that makes sense.

Well, at least the San Gabriel Mountains didn’t mysteriously appear in Jasper, MO this time.

Great. A sequel to a remake of a movie that was lukewarm dogshit in the first place.

Did you miss the part of 80 million views? Are you laboring under the impression that the quality matters? All that matters in streaming is eyeballs on the content.

If Gyllenhaal is in it and McGregor isn't, then there is a really good shot that it would be much improved. The way McGregor walks makes me want to kick puppies. It's the stupidest shit I've ever seen.

That's the problem. If people would stop watching garbage, studios would stop making garbage.

Ummm, yeah, nope.

I watched this the other day. I don't know what all the negativity is about on here. I didn't think it was bad at all. I probably won't ever watch it again. But it was kind of fun movie. The original was much better, of course. And yeah, McGregor was over the top. I assume that was on purpose but who knows?


I do have a question, though. Why was there a crocodile in Florida?

Escaped from a zoo?

I guess I’m the guy that likes garbage.

Just watched it, got a few chuckles. Decent entertainment. I know of Mcgregor, didn’t really give a shit about him either way outside this, but in this movie he’s a perfect fit. All the villains fit the old-school caricature baddies well.

5-6 out of 10. Fits right in with 80s action flicks. Whoever made this nailed the era.

You're not alone. I hadn't seen the original, so I had no nostalgia. I subsequently watched the original and the new one is better.

South Florida has saltwater crocodiles.

there are crocs in flordia i think it is rare but I read an article about it not long ago

This movie was horrible.

That is all.

"Something's wrong with you"


"ME TOO"

LMAO
