Scarface remake? Oh man............

Isn't the 1983 version a remake of the 30s' one, though?

Nothing wrong with the Coen Brothers. They've been involved in some great films. But Diego Luna as Tony Montana?! PPPPPPPlease. Tony Montana is all about being intimating just by the look of his face, and Diego Luna DEFINITELY doesn't have it. Also - Mexican? Trump's definitely going to ban that film...

Moonlight.

I actually expected it to be better. As a whole, I didn't like the homosexual thing. I'm not homophobic, but this idea took away from the film that it actually could've been a hell of a lot better. As the story surrounded about a troubled boy who can't find himself, as we watch him grow up. I thought it would end with a lot of meaning behind. This probably would attract and/or trigger some SJW, BLM, and whatnot. Very controversial, to my point of view.

Even Mahershala Ali's role that won him an Academy Award for Best Supportive actor. While he was only like thirty minutes in the film or so, he's role wasn't as significant that it would've won him a Best Supportive Actor. Nothing against the man - but maybe they could've made his role a lot more sensible than it was, to justify his award.

I'm not sure. I don't really have faith in this Scarface remake bcoz we're living in the today's world where most of the reboots or remakes ended up being crap. I'm looking at you, The Mummy.

With the failures of the "Ghostbusters" and "The Mummy" reboots, I was hoping that would be the potential death-knell of the reboot trend.

The Scarface was more then just a crime movie. It's one of those staple 80's movies that showed a bit of this and that about the era. (Gawd, saying that makes me feel so old!) I just cannot imagine how you can take this definitive 80's movie and reboot/update it for today's time with any air of independant legitmacy.

/inb4 we get a run-of-the-mill druglord movie script with a protagonist called 'Scarface' and two scenes homaging the previous one.

Later remake trend can be resumed in: "Yo, I have this script I can't sell for the love of me, have any old IP I can slap to it's front page?"

You made me remember about Willis remake of Death Wish.

Again remaking movies that were heavily influenced by the society at the time. There's no more waves of 'punk crime bands' scaring law-abiding old people out of their neighborhoods. (Nowadays there's more scared people than things to be scared of)

Okay, I think I want to check this out. If it's "good" in the same vein as the Tremors sequels, then I think it's worth a look.

Maze Runner 3 was kinda alright but I thought it was pretty chaotic.

Chaotic in a good way or bad way?

A bit of both, I can say.

Well, I still never liked the franchise, and definitelty won't bother watching the other two films.
