Keanu is alien, not the saviour. They aren’t wrecking anything, you can still buy the old film. Same name, same concept, different execution, stop crying.

Pretty sure Keanu IS the Alien—warning Earth to get its act together or face possible destruction.
I love the original so this one won’t ever ruin it for me.

remakes are fucking retarded.
remaking all-time classics is offensive, and fucking retarded.
including keanu in any remake of an all-time classic should be punishable by death

Is Reeves playing the robot? He acts like it in most of his movies.

I’m sure the original was good, and that people not unlike today either liked it or did not. When this one comes out, it will be no different. Some will like it, others won’t. (Nowadays people bitch and whine about everything likes it’s the cool thing to do.) I don’t hear or read much on how much people love “classics”, yet when one gets remade people put the original on a pedestal probably without seeing or actually liking it for the sake of complaining about the new one.
The issues and concerns the original addressed, reflecting its time is not wholly different today. So it may not just be remaking the film with great fx visuals, but retelling messages of issues that concern similar human conditions today; violence, war, politics, and fear of global annihilation. (Issues also of great concern during the 80s.)
well at least remakes aren’t normally as bad as sequels

i actually saw the first one , it is black and white so must of you will find it boring and uninteresting so i don’t known why you are criticizing something you’ve never seen.I agree it is a classic , but are we repeating what all these old critics are saying, to them all the old movies are the best , I tend to disagree most of the time. i can’t wait to see the new version i believe from the trailer it will better than that old black &white movie specially GORT the robot won’t look so fake and rubbery . The acting was pretty good for something for the 50’s and one last thing the original was mostly a dramatic film so no explosions or stunts, so i believe this will be about the same a drama not an action flick.Keanu Reeves is an alien so they are not really human so he should act like robot. Cant ‘wait to see it.
When a summer blockbuster grosses more than $300 million, putting together a sequel is typically as simple as throwing buckets of money at your stars ...

Oh man, ever since I saw the teaser or trailer I’ve been excited about this movie.
Those pictures look awesome.
August 11th, 2008 at 8:50 pm
man, bigwinner beat me to it! “i am keanu reeves, and i’m here to save the world again from aliens….i think”
August 11th, 2008 at 9:10 pm
They are ruining one of the best scifi movies, sad
August 11th, 2008 at 9:13 pm
Even with M.O.M. (man of matrix) we’ll probably check this one out.
August 11th, 2008 at 11:03 pm
I agree with NicOd3muS, they are wrecking one of the all time classics…sad, really…

Just rember these words as you watch the movie:
“Kort. Klatus, Marada, Nicto”
Play Bernard Herrmann’s haunting film score from the original film in your mind.
