An adaptation completely botches the original theme and message

Mulan(2020)-They give Mulan superpowers which is not only lame it goes against the message of the original about equality and struggle,plus they removes Shang because apparently having Mulan date her superior was "problematic" even though Shang genuienely respected Mulan and their rank was never brought up

I am Legend(2007)-You know why the story is called "I am legend"? SPOILER ALERT the protagonist is the actual monster,humanity is gone and the vampires have a actual society and the protagonist kills and terrorize them

Animal Farm(2026)-On the very slim chance that Andy Serkis ever sees this,here's the thing Andy,Animal Farm was not a children work it was not supposed to have a happy ending,you never heard of cautionary tales before?

Point Break (2015)

The original (1991) is a phenomenal commentary on freedom vs society and how extremes can cost your everything. Bodhi and Johnny are both extremes in different ways and the movie shows that and how you can have a deep respect for one another despite your stance. The remake completely butchers it and takes a story about surfers, bank robbers, and conformity vs individuality and makes it about extreme stunts.

Have you noticed How "point break" and "fast and furious" are the same movie

Reminds me of CHiPs. The TV show was about helping people and Ponch & John never drew their guns in 6 seasons.

Movie is all explosions, chaos, and gun fights.
