The Most Abysmal Remake Ever Made

Rating: 1/10 (9 March 2015)

I already talked about the musical in my original review so I will not talk about it here or at least try not to or say stuff that I forgot. But seriously, I think I am the only one who agrees with Roger Ebert that the first one was bad, but the remake is bad also. But the difference is, I hate the remake even more. This might be the worst remake of all time and you will not understand the reasoning for this so I will try to explain to my very best.
ITS THE SAME MOVIE. ONLY DONE WORST.
I know a remake is suppose to be faithful to the original, but the first movie I wasn't a fan of and a lot of people weren't a fan of back then. So it would be best if they fixed these errors from the first movie and make the remake superior. BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! We have to have the same movie that feels like you have been assaulted and the movie actual gave me physical pain from watching it.
What scenes are still there but done worse? The Tractor Scene is replaced with Driving Race Cars, The smacking and assault of Ariel scenes are more cringe worthy to watch, the drug scene is absolutely worse in all ways, the town hall scene is word for word. You get the point? THEY WERE TOO FAITHFUL!
The songs are worse. Footloose is now a horrible country song ruined by Blake Shelton making the finale very hard to watch... and that's all I remember still.
The casting is OK for the most part. But they got the worst person to play the Reverend, DENNIS FREAKING QUAID. UGH I HATE HIM SO MUCH. WHY?! He always has the same >:I face on every single movie he is in. Why couldn't you gave the Reverend to some newcomer instead of this guy!? But enough of that.
I mean, I have never seen such a horrible remake in my life. They changed nothing. NOTHING! But it still made money because of a cult following. Do we want more remakes of bad films to come because of this? Like a Flashdance Remake, A Magical Mystery Tour Remake? Then please! I can't stop you. But I can only warn people about this.
To quote Roger Ebert: "...The film's message is: A bad movie, if faithfully remade, will produce another bad movie."
Amen.
