    Of course it all boils down to opinion, ned.

    I have to agree that Night90 is the best remake of Romero's films. Although I haven't seen the Day remake(trying to keep an open mind but.... )

    In all regards,

    NIGHT '90 was old-style cinema, being eighties stuff (... and showing that all the time). I loved the "classic-like" direction, the nice make-up, the atmosphere.

    DAWN'04 resembles an A-TEAM episode gone bad, especially in the last third.

    Matter of tastes, maybe.

    If Dawn'04 resembles the A-Team, then Night'90 is ****ing Falcon Crest. It wasn't thought through, poorly planned and a very rushed production. That's also why it's sub-par standards. I agree that the script is pretty good, but the execution is just faulty on so many levels.

    Dawn 04 was crap. But at least it was entertaining crap.

    As much as I disagree, that was a damn funny comment.

    It has been a long time since i saw night 90 but i did enjoy it. i liked dawn04 but it does not measure up to the origional dawn. After all who can beat a pie in zombie face scene? i never thought much about it but your so right. it was so A-teamish.

    A-teamish... crap. But enjoyable nonetheless (as far as Zombies are involved).

    When talking to others about zombiefilms, I will always right-out diss Dawn 04. But compared to Night 90, I like it.

    A-Team is classic! The Dead-remakes are not. And the Day remake doesn't really look like a remake at all. Less so than Dawn, actually. It actually looks more like a remake of Zombie Flesh Eaters 2.

    Thats funny because it's true.

    I though Notld 90 was really TV movie of the week with zero atmosphere. I like it better now, but when I saw it I though. Man, that sucked!
    Barbara-Cliche and stupid at the time
    Harry Cooper- bad dialouge and a TV movie Actor.
    Lighting was pure Soap Opera
    Music was a plate of dicks
    Tony Todd was great, as usual. In this case because he imitated Dunae Jones eright down to the dialouge beats. Toma nd Judy were better, but the original judy was hotter (not that that matters). Helen Cooper acted better in 90, than the original.
    I like it noe, ecspecially compared to Dawn04. The writing was solid (some dialouge excepted) in Notld90. Though Dotd04 sure looked great.

    And the A team a classic?!?! Huh?
    A million Automatic weapon clips fired and no one ever , ever got hurt!
    A car goes over a cliff
    It bursts into flames
    "Are you Okay?"
    "Yeah. I'm Okay"
    I swear to god that was in an episode. Stoooooooopid!

    It always bothered my how no one ever got hurt on the A-Team. I remember watching an episode once where a helicopter crashed into a mountain and burst into flames, and I was thinking "Holy crap! Someone is going to die!" Then I saw the bad guys stumbling out of the wreckage without a scratch on them. Oh Boy!

    I'm a fan of movies in general and remakes are no exception. As long as I like the film overall then I'm fine with it, remake or not. Night is a good remake. Takes things I didn't like about the original and fixed them. Does it replace Night '68? Never.

    I also enjoyed Dawn of the Dead '04 as a film in it's own right rather than compared to the original.

    That being said, Day of the Dead, judging merely from the trailer, looks pretty dire.

    When I first started this thread, I had the idea that if jackasses were going to continue to butcher our beloved saga, shouldn't it be done right? Don't you think that you could do one of these films justice? Which film would you do, what aspects would you change, who would you cast as the characters, would you keep it consistent with the original time period, update it to today's world, etc.

    Sooooooo.....any takers?

    None of Romero's Dead movies warrant a remake, under any circumstances.

    IF anyone remakes Night again, after LDB's 07 version there is only one route to take. We need to see the massacre at Beakman's Diner.
