My cousin called the 2019 'Pet Sematary' a 'forgettable redo' and it stuck with me
We were talking about scary movies at a cookout in Phoenix, and he said the remake just felt like a checklist of the original's scenes with worse CGI. It made me realize that a lot of these flops aren't just bad, they're completely pointless... like, why even dig up that story again if you're not adding anything new? Has anyone else had a remake's failure explained to them in a way that just clicked?

My buddy said the new "Point Break" felt like a tax write-off, not a movie, and that just made total sense.

Tell your buddy he nailed it, @irisjenkins. That remake was so bad it felt like a punishment for liking the original. My advice is to just rewatch the Keanu and Swayze version, it fixes everything. Honestly, calling it a tax write-off is the nicest thing anyone could say about that movie.

But seriously, what even was the goal with that remake? Like, who asked for it?
