The only films I've liked him in were (predictably) In Bruges, and I also thought he was fun in Daredevil oddly.

thought he was great in Phone Booth myself..

It wasn't a favourable review if I am honest - I will still be watching it myself I didn't have high hopes in the first place so it isn't like my expectations would be dashed at all.

They are,a few scenes are almost indentical,it was ok kinnda like bourne meets minorty report,it has a more serious tone but i still prefer arnies even though its cheesy lol i did like the hand phone scene though.

remakes of originally good films confuse me...

exhibit A:

planet of the apes
Charlie and the chocolate factory
psycho


They employ huge production teams, surely someone should notice that they took a good film and just turned it into cr*p

Hope total recall does not end up the same way.

Forgot to add The Italian Job - the worse remake of a film I have seen.

Total Recall looks like it will be the same .... No MARS FFS! + What makes that film is the late 80's cheese and Arny ... ""COHAGEN YOU BASTARD !!!"

From when I saw the trailer in the cinema, Total Recall 2012 seems just like a broken pencil.
Pointless.
Looks watered down and an insult to the Arnie classic As if Farrell's character actually says "If I'm not me, who the hell am I?"

Charlie & The Chocolate Factory remake - Good, perhaps better than the original
The Italian Job - It had very little in common with the original. Stand alone it was a good film though...

Does he get to see Richter at the party?

Just finished watching this. Pretty good story with some good action scenes. Not as good as the original with Arnie, but Colin Farrell does do a pretty good job in it, so is still worth a watch especially if you like Kate Beckinsale & Jessica Biel.

8/10
