I feel like there are many movies people criticize simply because it isn’t like the original. Home Alone 4 for example. I actually thought it was a great movie. Of course the original 2 cannot be beaten, but it doesn’t make the 4th one so bad. The only thing that made it unpopular was that it was called “Home Alone”, and characters had the same names. As such, people compare it to the original movies and say it’s not a good one.
Also The Office. Many people watched the USA version first, not realizing that it’s a remake. Yet, people are against having another reboot or remake of the office, even though that’s exactly what the USA version was. Anyone else feel this way? Any other sequels or remakes you thought were good, but are underrated because people compare it too much to the original?
