Remakes and similar type movies are often a disappointment to people who have seen the originals. The latest I saw was Get Smart which was not funny on its own, and certainly not as funny as Don Adams in the role. There was a preview b4 this movie of Pink Panther 2 with Steve Martin. I like both Carrel and Martin in other works, but Martin can’t possibly do a Clouseau like Peter Sellers did. Another disaster was to try and redo Gene Wilder’s Wonka with Jonny Depp. All the Bond and Batman actors have been good though. I think that when a movie is centered upon a iconic CHARACTER rather than the STORY, it is best that the movie end with the original actor.
