Remakes: Good or bad?

Sukiyaki Western

Sukiyaki WesternWell, I saw it. I can say that it's worth seeing. Maybe even seeing twice because it was kind of on the bizarre-good side of things to watch. The first thing you have to do is get used to the Japanese accents because the whole cast except for Tarantino is Japanese and he only gets a bit part. But he played his part with gusto--like in Pulp Fiction explaining things with metaphors. Anyway, the movie itself is a true spaghetti western only with Japanese actors and artifacts. You have two gangs that epitomizes all the baser characteristics of humankind--greed, lust, meglomania, stupidity, etc. and a few character that show the finer side of humans. There's lots of action and killing. The final fight scene is really cool, Tarantino-esque. If you get a chance to see it, take it.

Personally I don't like remakes, since they become less authentic and they lose their touch, but I will still watch it to see the diffrence...
