it would be like watching the 2010 “Karate Kid” with Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith before the 1984 “Karate Kid” with Noriyuki Morita and Ralph Macchio
Read the reviews. They’ll tell you whether you should enjoy it.
Go on the assumption that it isn’t as good as the original. More often you’ll be right.
Since when do you have to watch a movie before you can tell people you don’t like it?
Good rule of thumb: remakes generally suck
Watch the remake first so you can tell if you are enjoying the original when you get around to it.
Wait for the third one – eg. A star is born…
Indeed, until she also sees the original, that chasm in her soul will never be filled!
Or, in the case of “A Star Is Born” a remake of a remake of a remake.
Oh, you’ll know. You just won’t know if you are supposed to be enjoying it.
I remember a “remake” of a classic film noir film. Except for using the same title and a major plot point (a career criminal was being transported across country) the rest of the film had no resemblance to the “original” (and much better) movie.
