The stripped back Jonathan Miller version is my favourite. I love how the lack of any wacky costume or fanciful visual trickery somehow makes it all the more surreal and sinister . . .

I expect everyone on here does apart from me I have no real love of the original, and found it highly watchable, really well designed and a top supporting cast (Benicio is just wrong in the lead) - I'm not gonna go buying it or anything, but I'll watch it if its on the telly . . .

I liked The Wolfman too, haven't bought it yet but I will if the price is cheap enough. My opinion doesn't really count because I'm a fan of the Elm St remake too

I disagree that 3D is a fad.
You can get a 3D tv now for £400 compare that with last boxing day £900.

Prometheus looks immense in 3D, nothing like it I have seen and reviews say Dredd is meant to be even better 3D experience as its a made for 3D movie.

People assume 3D is not all that as most movies released in 3D are not filmed in 3D so it looks crap. Even post conversion is getting better as Titanic is meant to look very good in 3D and almost like it was made for 3D.

I look forward to seeing Dredd in 3D once I get my copy once released.

Hated the elm street remake with a firey passion, oddly though I liked the wolfman remake!

Well yesterday was supposed to be a day for picking at food and watching my new DVDs instead it was spent mainly in bed but I did manage to watch one of my DVDs which was Amsterdamned which I thought was bloody amazing, I can't get the theme tune out of my head though!

Now it's time for as many Carry On's, so far:

3D is one of the worst things that's happened to film. i don't think it's a fad but i wish it was.
the only 3D movie i've tried to sit through was avengers and i walked out of the theater one hour in
the 3D sucked so bad it gave me a headache the movie was the worst movie ever made and i expected it to suck.
i will never try to watch another 3D movie again but as long as the real filmmakers have the
common scenes to not use that crap it won't bother me.

I'm done with 3D too (Avatar and Alice in Wonderland were more than enough). 'Oooh but it makes films so much more immersive!' Immersive my ass, all it does is provide a distraction from the actual film. Good films are immersive enough for me in 2D thanks . . .
