Would you rather watch a good sequel or remake or a bad original film?

Who wouldn't want a good movie over a bad one? Obviously I'm going for good sequel/reboot.

A good sequel is always welcome. A bad one not so much. Remakes/reboots can excel or they can be a fiasco. It all depends.
Bad original movies have little to recommend them.

Good sequel obviously.

If someone were to remake Tough Guys Don't Dance into just a good, respectable movie, I may opt for the former. Some movies are probably more entertaining for being a special kind of awful.

Would you rather watch a good sequel or remake or a bad original film? But that's not a fair question. Of course everyone is going to want to see a GOOD movie regardless of sequel or original. The GOOD is the thing. That outweighs originality. What difference originality if the movie blows?

The GOOD is the thing. That outweighs originality. What difference originality if the movie blows? One of the reasons why I ask is because I often hear many complain about the amount of sequels/reboots being made. I'm not saying it happens here but just in general. However, many of these reboots and sequels are pretty good. Better than some newer original films I've seen. So I often wonder when I hear ppl say this, would they rather watch a good remake/sequel or a bad original film. Quite honestly there are many cases where an established idea still has many avenues to explore while a new idea could kinda stink from the start. So I guess I'm asking would you rather see hollywood invest in new ideas that could turn out to be bad just because they are new or continue to invest in sequels/remakes that have more potential to be good?

Well I'm one of those people. And you're right, it does get tired to hear me or anyone complain about how many sequels and reboots there are. Even I get tired hearing myself! But that doesn't make it any less true. I guess I don't mind sequels as much, because those are continuations of stories we liked. Fine. But the reboots are getting out of control. They've rebooted so many things during just m lifetime. Robocop, Total Recall, Texas Chainsaw, Battlestar Galactica... And do we really need a reboot of Doogie Howser? Yes, my friends, that's happening! Look up Doogie Howser Kamealoha MD is a real thing! Doogie is now a teenage girl in Hawaii. The Wonder Years is coming back, as the black experience. 90210 has been back several times! I get the whole familiarity concept, but all those things that are being rebooted were once original ideas! So it CAN be done.

I get the whole familiarity concept, but all those things that are being rebooted were once original ideas! So it CAN be done. I see your point. Was the Doogie Howser one necessary? Probably not. However, the Battlestar Galactica reboot from 2004 is a fantastic series. It's vastly superior to the original, and in my opinion one of the best series ever made. I'm very glad it got made. It's actually being rebooted again, lol, on Peacock. Sam Esmail, who did Mr. Robot another one of my favorite shows, is doing it. I'm honestly really excited for it because I love the concept of BSG and I'm a big fan of Esmail. Honestly I feel like with the general concept of BSG there is a lot to explore with themes like humanity. To your point though, I don't only believe in remakes. I think original ideas should get made too. It's just finding the right balance. Some ideas are more open for it, while others are not.

I think original ideas should get made too. It's just finding the right balance. Some ideas are more open for it, while others are not. Oh I agree. And just to shoot myself in the foot here, I'll admit that I loved the Battlestar Galactica remake also, and yes it was superior to the original. But I think we can also agree that it was an example of a RARE time when a remake actually worked. Most times its more like "meh". If you're going to do a remake it should be with an eye towards improving and adding to what came before, not just doing it to add modern FX. And yes some ideas lend themselves better to a remake. We're also forgetting when something isn't a reboot or remake, but rather like James Bond, which is more of a continuation, or a self modernizing series, where all you have to do is recast the leads and move on. That's kind've how I see Indiana Jones too (if only Harrison Ford would just let go! lol)
