There are excellent films, there are bad films, and there are films, at the memory of which you want to frown and whisper "I will never see this again in my life ..." The latter include many remakes of domestic production.
We present to you the top 10 worst Russian remakes. It is compiled on the basis of a comparison of the ratings of users of the most popular Kinopoisk portal.
We have previously published the best Russian films 2015-2016, the rating is based on public ratings.
10. “Office romance. Our time "(2011)
- The remake rating is 4.1 points.
- The rating of the original is 8.3 points.
It is not enough to place the characters of the film in the realities of our time. We also need them to touch the souls of the audience. And this requires a director of the level of Eldar Ryazanov and actors who have completely got used to the characters. This is what the modern Mymra and Novoseltsev lack.
9. "Three Musketeers" (2013)
- The remake rating is 4.1 points.
- The rating of the original is 8 points.
Not the only picture about the Musketeers in the rating of the worst Russian remakes. 3D technology did not save D'Artanyan and his comrades from failure, since the young audience did not react to the film, and the mature audience remembers and loves other Musketeers.
8. "Funny guys;)" (2014)
- The remake rating is 3.9 points.
- The rating of the original is 7.3 points.
The emoticon in the title of the remake did not help it attract viewers. Grigory Aleksandrov's witty comedy with its abundance of bright and eccentric scenes and an amazing musical component still outperforms the modern version.
7. "Gentlemen, good luck!" (year 2012)
- The remake rating is 3.1 points.
- The rating of the original is 8.5 points.
On the charm of Evgeny Leonov, Georgy Vitsin, Savely Kramarov and Radner Muratov, the "classic" Gentlemen were kept. What do you remember about the remake? Is that the absence of vulgar jokes, a love theme and the ending, which turned the picture from a comedy into an action-packed thriller.
6. "Carnival Night 2" (2006)
- The remake rating is 2.7 points.
- The rating of the original is 7.9 points.
The first half of the film is unlikely to disappoint viewers. But when the "Blue Light" begins, it becomes difficult to contain a yawn. The musical numbers aren't half as good as in the original Carnival Night.
5. "Return of the Musketeers" (2009)
- The remake rating is 2.8 points.
- The rating of the original is 6.9 points.
This "masterpiece of comedy trash" according to the apt response of one of the viewers is an attempt to exploit the viewers' pleasant memories of Soviet films about the Musketeers. Alas, the children of the Musketeers and their parents who returned from the afterlife could not repeat the success that accompanied the "old guard".
4. "That still Carloson!" (year 2012)
- The remake rating is 2.7 points.
- The rating of the original is 7.6 points.
A family comedy with Mikhail Galustyan as Carloson. The audience did not appreciate the childish jokes and poor performance of the child actors. But many people liked the beautiful graphics and soundtrack.
3. "Adventurers" (2012)
- The remake rating is 1.5 points.
- The rating of the original is 7.89 points.
Adventure comedy based on the 1967 film with Alain Delon.
Repetitive jokes, slurred dialogues, harmless dangers (the machine gun line will hit all but the main characters, crocodiles are just part of the entourage) and the lack of action - these are the main drawbacks of the remake. The only plus: you can admire the beautiful scenery.
2. "The Man from Boulevard Capucino"
- The remake rating is 1.3 points.
- The rating of the original is 8 points.
Mediocre humor, mediocre acting, melodies that you forget when you leave the theater. Add to this an illogical scenario and you will understand why the picture is not popular with viewers.
1. "Prisoner of the Caucasus" (2014)
- The remake rating is 1.1 points.
- The rating of the original is 8.5 points.
The worst Russian remake in recent years. The comedy of the same name by Leonid Gaidai is remembered and loved not only by those who grew up in the USSR, but also by the younger generation. But it is not easy to fall in love with her “modern rehash”. The fact is that the 1966 picture, with its witty jokes and great cast, set a very high bar, which the creators of the remake could not jump over. The logical result: a failure in the film distribution and an abundance of negative reviews from viewers. Moreover, "the desecration of a Soviet film" is not the worst of the reviews, there are even stronger epithets.
