1) "Death Wish" (Bruce Willis remake): Refreshing to see a movie with a conservative slant that completely rejects liberal silliness, albeit predictable paint by numbers plot. Bruce Willis has lost his ability to act, and wasn't believable at times. Normally I would give it a 2 out of 4 stars, but because they stayed true to focus without injecting modern "anti-values," 2.5 stars out of 4. Charles Bronson was far more intimidating.
Some remakes have been well done but this one firmly goes under the "why bother?" category. There was really zero valid reason to remake "Death Wish". The remakes for both "Robocop" and "Total Recall" also fall in this category in my opinion.
