Movies That Should Have Been Epic

[Gambit]

I have nothing against remakes; what I do hate, however, is when they try to separate it so much from the original that they lose the whole thing. What's worse is when they do that, and then don't even bother to make a good (Far removed) movie. Dawn of the Dead was OK, as remakes go, but it was nowhere near as good as the original. The Wicker Man remake was complete shite, as was the remake of Fright Night, Precinct 13 and Planet of the Apes. However, Rise of the Planet of the Apes was an absolutely amazing movie.
