Spinal Tap 2 remake hell once again
« on: September 12, 2025, 11:52:03 AM »
Not going to see it....  :P

One of my favorite movies of all time (see my name on here).

Zero chance of them doing anything here but failing to capture the greatness and originality of the original (get the joke there?).

The reviews are reflecting that it is an unfunny turd.

I hope this bombs in a huge way and they stop re-making/re-booting everything that was ever good.

What percentage of movies last few years have been shit remakes or a rehash of something? 85%?

No wonder the business is struggling.

Like 1 in 10 of these remake/reboots after 20+ years are decent.. so perhaps.. just perhaps..

In the window of time I had to see something it was this or the re-release of Toy Story.

I went with Spinal Tap 2 because I'm not 8 years old anymore... :P

What an unfunny piece of garbage... its hard to believe a group of people with that much ability could make something this tragically lame.

I guess it happens (see Anchorman 2, or Zoolander 2 or any Ghostbusters after the first)...

None of these guys need the money so I have no idea what the point would be of this movie.

It sucked hard... it was short and I still was tempted to leave early.
