man i coulda seen a remake happening a mile away but rob cohen? i jus have a feeling its gonna have loads of cgi and we wont give a shit about the characters, but i havent seen mummy 3 yet so i cant judge completely, but mostly this sounds like a bad idea, damn i was hopin for a straight to video sequel,it would have been alot better than this

While The Monster Squad is far (FAR!) from a perfect film, I’ll echo Swarez in that the amount of swearing, smoking and things that don’t make it into kids movie at all give the film a flavour that you will not see in any remake.

I was happy enough that the film finally came out on DVD a while ago. The world doesn’t need a remake which would drown out the main thing (for me) that makes the film interesting.

[Insert exclamation of contempt here]

At this point, it’s not even worth getting riled up over. If they do it– everyone knows it will be a watered down piece of shit. Oh well. I still have the original to watch, and as for the remake? I’ll just not watch it. Plain and simple.

Unless the remake actually shows the wolfman’s nards.

I will personally commit seppuku with my sword if Rob Cohen touches one frame of Monster Squad!

On second thought, I guess it’s not that big a deal really.

I hadn’t heard of Monster Squad until this moment so I’m glad I won’t have any hate for Cohen when he fucks it up. I mean come on…Rob Cohen is so horribly bland.

Usually I don’t care about remakes but for this I have to say FUCK NO!
There is no way in hell Cohen will be able to capture what Dekker did back in the day.
The film works because of the great script which didn’t talk down to its viewer. It will be a cold day in hell when kids in films today will be able to utter the words, Fag, Homo or chicken shit.
Fuck this remake idea, fuck it in its stupid ass.
