WORST FILM REMAKES OF TV SHOWS......

[SPazzo]

The Simpson's Movie comes to mind, as being somewhat obnoxious....

Hmm...  To be honest, it didn't seem that much more obnoxious than the TV show.  Don't get me wrong, I love The Simpsons.  But the movie didn't really seem that much different.  It wasn't great, but it was just kinda like an extra long episode of the show.

But then again, should movie remakes of TV shows just be like an extra long episode of the original show?  Makes me wonder...

Fat Albert made the one unforgivable sin of movies.  It was dull.  I can handle movies that are tasteless and dumb.  I can handle movies that are horrible.  They at least give me something to hate (and talk about) but Fat Albert had NOTHING.

One of my favorite childhood shows was (and is) Bewitched.

The only tiny, tiny bright spot in that terrible 'revisioned' movie was Steve Carrell's tiny, tiny cameo as Uncle Arthur.

That "Dukes of Hazzard" remake is the biggest piece of s**t ever made! It's like nobody involved with that film had ever even seen one episode of the show. They removed all of the subtle self deprecating humour that made the show a classic action/comedy. The remake of "The A-Team" (a show with similar qualities) was equally bad. Come to think of it, I have never liked a remake of any classic TV show. TV shows have a much richer history than movies, because you have a series of stories that evolve over the course of several years. To try and condense the highlights of that history into a two hour movie format is a monumental task. Since most of today's film makers are sub par storytellers with too much emphasis on technical skill, for them to take on such a task is an insult to the legacy of these classic shows.

I agree on LOST IN SPACE. The show was corny and fun....the movie-ugh.
Haven't seen it-but the YOGI BEAR movie looks horrendous. He does a rap song.

The Avengers was pretty horrendous.

Haven't seen it either, but it's another in the long line of movies that make MY list of worst tv adaptations - our childhood cartoons being turned into modern music videos/fart gags/bad CGI fests.  Off the top of my head - Scooby Doo, Alvin & The Chipmunks, Underdog, Yogi Bear, Garfield, Fat Albert, Josie and the p***ycats, and soon - The Smurfs.  For me, it's weird because they obviously make them that way to appeal to TODAY'S audiences, but those audiences don't have a familiarity with the character anyway, so why not just make something original?

I also hated GI Joe and especially Transformers.  Personally, I'm a fan of Masters of the Universe, but for all the wrong reasons...

Animation remade into live action is a mistake. It's just plain wrong.

[Doggett]

The Avengers was pretty horrendous.

I like the final scene and the teddy bear scene.

Off the of my head Wild Wild West, Land of the Lost, and Bewitched.
