I can't believe people liked the original more than this remake!

What you have to understand is that in 1976, carrie was a very scary, and disturbing movie. There wasn't much like it around. It had a greater impact on me because I was much younger while viewing it.

This remake was decent (except for the happy ending but that's just personal opinion) but it didn't bring much to the table. Of course if you like it better that's fine, its your right. But its not unreasonable that many people are going to like the original better and even hate the remake.

I haven't seen this film, nor do I have any outright desire to, but I do have to say originals aren't always the best. Especially when they are unfaithful to the original source.

Of course, I'm guessing you're one of the people who'd also believe that the MGM Wizard of Oz was not only the original film version of that book (which it isn't at all) but also faithful to the book as well (which it isn't - not by a long shot) since it's a classic and all.

Just because something is deemed a classic doesn't mean it doesn't pander to insipid mentality as well.

This is just lol.

I cant believe people like a mediocre remake over a classic

i agree i always found this remake better. the characters were portrayed better (Tommy and Sue especially) and the pacing was a lot better. some scenes drug but not too many.

This one does stay closer to the book, but I still feel the '76 version was better than the remake. The only thing the remake did better was the display of Carrie's powers and the strength of them, which were done in quite a weak way in the original.
Carrie's mother was also much better in the original, and I related more to Sue in the original despite her having more scenes in the remake.

Lois & Clark 4EVER!!!
DC can SUCK IT!!!!
