Fair comment.
I just think it was vapid. All the other movies you see in "worst" lists actually have significant redeeming elements - they're usually there because of poor box office takings.

Oddly, I think I've seen most of that, but as clips and excerpts (I'd not seen the part with Radley Balko, but coincidentally, do have his book on my "to read" pile). I was being a little bit sarcastic, trying to make the point that much of the future of the original Robocop has either become reality, or seems very much closer than it did when I was watching the original on VHS.
As such, I rather thought it would benefit from a remake, with new things to say about the original's themes, and about the issues arising from the use of drones.

I've just watched the trailer to the new Ghostbusters film, that looks bloody awful.

Now I see how it is (sniff). Well, you and @Profpointy enjoy your cinema date together. I don't care.

Got to say I was fairly non-plussed by the new Mad Max - it was alright as an action film, but that was about it. I was expecting so much more from the reviews.

Arthur With that total nobb3r Russell Brand.....
Happy New Year. A crushingly horrible dismemberment of La Bonne Annee.
To vary it slightly - how about the remakes we'd like to see.......?.
'Ran' directed by Sacha Baron Cohen starring Liam Neeson
'Coonskin' directed by James Ivory starring Helena Bohnam Carter and Ralph Fiennes (both in blackface)
'The Chess Players' directed by Vin Diesel, starring Vin Diesel and CGI'd Paul Walker

I feel like I could... TAKE ON THE WORLD!!
Yeah looks pretty ropey, it is a sequel though and not a remake.
Not sure if anyone else mentioned it but I nominate Clash of the Titans, the original was a classic!
Conan the Barbarian was another one that didnt need a remake.

Least necessary: The Amazing Spider Man, 10 years after the perfectly serviceable (and quite fun) Spider Man directed by Sam Raimi*

I disagree... Spiderman's a great superhero but all the films are sh!te... Sam Raimi's effort only succeeded in being worse than that old TV movie.
