Top 10 Worst Changes in Movie Remakes

VOICE OVER: Phoebe de Jeu

If it ain't broke don't fix it! For this list, we're looking at changes in remakes that had us wishing they'd just left the original alone. And yes, of COURSE we included Godzilla's design in “Godzilla” (1998) - along with changes in “I Am Legend” (2007), “The Karate Kid” (2010), “The Stepford Wives” (2004), and more! What change really ticked YOU off in a movie remake? Let us know in the comments!
