That aside, regarding remakes, "Dont ever bother" has
some truth but is probably a stretch. Yes, there are many remakes that suck, but there are some that clearly stood out compared to the original and were worth it.
In any case, remakes are of course a risky deal on many levels and the movie industry should not be taking this topic lightly - especially as lightly as they have been in recent years; everyone's getting lazy and pushing out garbage.
Regarding the original topic, me and my other half were really looking forward to watching the new Coming To America movie. We both saw the original multiple times. Reading the reviews is
really disappointing though; however we'll probably watch it anyway so, if nothing else, we can say we watched it and judge for ourselves.
