Planet of the Apes (2001)
Don't treat this as a remake and you'll enjoy it.
Burton's "Apes" is a new movie. If the film were a straight-up remake then of course it wouldn't hold up to the original but guess what?, no movie can ever hold up to what the original laid down, so why try? Burton obviously recognized this and did a great job with a NEW story. Great work.
Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (1997)
Video game had a great plot, what happened with the movie?
The plotline for MK3 (the video game) had a great and simple storyline fit for a movie and for some reason the producers went off on a tangent and warped that storyline into an incoherent, unbelievable snore-fest of a script, added some bad actors, and basically killed what looked liked a promising franchise. Bridgette Wilson and Christopher Lambert did well to stay clear of this script.
Will there be some redemption for the franchise with a third film to gain back what it had achieved with the first in the series, or does anybody care anymore? We'll wait and see.
