I hardly like remakes and sequels. But this is a remake debate so I have to shut my flappy mouth about sequels...
Personally, although I wasn't born in the 70's, I thought the 1st Charlie Angels movie was cool. The Ring was boring, not as scary as the Japanese version...
I bought Ju-On (The Grudge) a few nights ago and it was just freaky! I mean, really freaky!! I never watched the English version but from what my cousin told me, it's much more different.
I think the only reason American movies suck when it comes to having remakes from Japan is so that it could be PC (politically correct) and live up to the standards of American Media. Where as in Japan (and many other countries), their censorship laws on media tends to relax a little more. Or so I'm told.
So if you really want a feel of the movies, by the original! Even if you don't understand it, set the subtitles on.
