There are great films, there are bad films, and there are films that I want to frown at and whisper “I will never see this again in my life ...” Among the latter are many remakes of domestic production.
We present you the top 10 worst Russian remakes. It is based on a comparison of user ratings of the most popular Kinopoisk portal.
Earlier we published the best Russian films of 2015-2016, the rating is based on public ratings.
10. “Office romance. Our time ”(2011)
- The remake rating is 4.1 points.
- The rating of the original is 8.3 points.
It is not enough to put the heroes of the film into the realities of our time. It is also necessary that they touch the soul of the audience. And this requires a level director Eldara Ryazanova and actors who are fully accustomed to the images. This is not enough for modern Mymre and Novoseltsev.
9. The Three Musketeers (2013)
- The remake rating is 4.1 points.
- The rating of the original is 8 points.
Not the only picture about musketeers in the ranking of the worst Russian remakes. 3D technology did not save D’Artagnan and his associates from failure, as the young audience did not react to the film, and the mature audience remembers and loves other musketeers.
8. “Happy guys;)” (2014)
- The remake rating is 3.9 points.
- The rating of the original is 7.3 points.
The smiley in the title of the remake did not help him attract the audience. The witty comedy of Grigory Alexandrov, with its abundance of bright and eccentric scenes and an amazing musical component, still beats the modern version.
7. "Gentlemen, good luck!" (year 2012)
- The remake rating is 3.1 points.
- The rating of the original is 8.5 points.
The charm of Evgeny Leonov, Georgy Vitsin, Savely Kramarov and Radner Muratov kept the "classic" Gentlemen. What did the remake remember? Except for the absence of vulgar jokes, the love theme and the ending, which from a comedy turned the picture into an action-packed action movie.
6. "Carnival Night 2" (2006)
- The remake rating is 2.7 points.
- The rating of the original is 7.9 points.
The first half of the film is unlikely to disappoint the audience. But when the Blue Light begins, it becomes difficult to restrain yawning. The musical numbers are half as good as in the original Carnival Night.
5. “The Return of the Musketeers” (2009)
- The remake rating is 2.8 points.
- The rating of the original is 6.9 points.
This “masterpiece of comedy trash” according to the well-known recall of one of the spectators is an attempt to exploit the pleasant memories of the audience about Soviet films about musketeers. Alas, the children of the musketeers and their parents who came back from the next world could not repeat the success that accompanied the "old guard".
4. "The same Carloson!" (year 2012)
- The remake rating is 2.7 points.
- The rating of the original is 7.6 points.
Family comedy with Mikhail Galustyan as Carloson. The audience did not appreciate the non-childish jokes and the poor play of actor-children. But many liked the beautiful graphics and soundtrack.
3. “Adventure seekers” (2012)
- The remake rating is 1.5 points.
- The rating of the original is 7.89 points.
Adventure comedy based on the 1967 film with Alain Delon.
Repeated jokes, slurred conversations, non-dangerous dangers (the automatic queue will fall into everything except the main characters, crocodiles are just part of the surroundings) and the lack of action - these are the main shortcomings of the remake. The only plus: you can admire the beautiful scenery.
2. "A man from KapucinoK Boulevard"
- The remake rating is 1.3 points.
- The rating of the original is 8 points.
Mediocre humor, mediocre acting, melodies that you forget already at the exit from the cinema. Add to this an illogical scenario and understand why the picture is not popular with viewers.
1. "Caucasian captive" (2014)
- The remake rating is 1.1 points.
- The rating of the original is 8.5 points.
The worst Russian remake of recent years. The comedy of the same name by Leonid Gaidai is remembered and loved not only by those who grew up during the USSR, but also by the younger generation. But to fall in love with her “modern rehash” is not easy. The fact is that the 1966 picture with its witty jokes and excellent cast set a very high standard, which the remake creators could not jump over. The logical result: a failure in film distribution and an abundance of negative reviews from the audience. Moreover, the "desecration of the Soviet film" is not the worst of reviews, there are epithets and stronger.
