i haven't watched it in three years or two...somethin like that...but
it's mad awesome....and a hell of a lot better than the, what is it,
2000 version?? Peter Cook plays a better devil than Elizabeth
Hurley..I've got no complaints with Brendon Fraiser though...how could
i? All in all, the 60's version was much better, however, I do think
that's it's pretty cool that someone remembered the original film and
remade it in the first place. In fact, if they hadn't, I never would
have even seen the original...

I saw the remake before I had ever even known the original existed. I like Brendan Fraser and actually enjoyed his version until I researched the original and (amazingly enough) was able to find a copy and watch it. I always kind of stick up for the 2000 version just because of that. Really, the same can be said of any remade movie; bad remakes can provoke people to go and see the original.

good point...but keep in mind....not ALL originals are better...

[–] sophialee04 19 years ago

Yes, that is very true. I haven't had too many bad experiences though; I may just be one of the lucky ones.

:-D, hey is there an original to 28 Days Later? someone told me there was....but i dunno and i don't have the time at the moment to check it out..... I think they were just lying to me....people like to do that...heh...

[–] sophialee04 19 years ago

IMDb says there isn't. There might have been movies like it that inspired it though. But, yeah, you might've been lied too. =P

I thought the remake of The Dawn Patrol, made in 1939 was far superior to the original one made in 1930. But other than that, I can't think of any.

Ha ha ha ha! You just said "nuclear". It's "nukular", dummy, the "s" is silent!

28 Days Later is very similar to the Omega Man, which is itself a remake of The Last Man on Earth (Vincent Prince).

The opening of 28 Days Later is an almost an exact steal from Day of the Triffids (not the moster movie though.

but that movie didn't have Cillian Murphy's gorgeousness to distract you, which is probably why he's there...You're too busy staring at him and drooling to realize any idea has been stolen.

I thought I already had a signature, but I guess that is not the case.
