lol easy pass. I’d rather watch the original again, thanks.   

Of all movies to remake..why Road House?

Part of Road House's charm, even to this day, is how unapologetically 80's it is.   And there was no way they were ever going to outdo Patrick Swayze or Sam Elliot.

Gyllenhaal is so hit or miss, and even though he may look the part, he just doesn't have that on screen presence to really sell himself in this role.   Swayze wasn't the most intimidating guy, but he had an stoic demeanor that Gyllenhaal cant really pull off IMO.  Plus, as stated....it was the 80s.

Stop with the remakes that don't need to be remade. Jesus. 

I dont mind remakes if it makes sense and its done well.

Unfortunately, very few remakes satisfy both criteria.

Obviously, those are both largely subjective, but when the chances of doing a remake (or sequel) worse outweigh the chances of doing it better, its probably best not to do it at all.
