I like Hitcher as well. I would get it for DVD. The Hitcher 2 was confusing but watchable. However the remake made it worse and was so stupid. The Director only did music videos? Wow, that's sad.
Seems more like a sequel to The Hitcher 2: I've Been Waiting. Guy dies, girl survives and deals with the hitcher. Same story if you ask me. Used to own this but i got rid of it because it is just the same plot line in every identical way. I thought Sean Bean did a pretty good job, but needed some new ideas.
YES!! thank you Matt! I'm glad someone thinks like I do. Instead of remaking a classic movie, why not just re-release the original movies. The studios would make ten times more money than a remake would, and plus, people would love it!!
Personally, I think Sean Bean makes a better villain as 006 in GoldenEye. I have this remake in my collection, but I don't watch it that much because I wasn't that impressed with it.
I thought The Hitcher was an average remake but I still liked the original movie a lot more. I thought you could do worse with remakes such as A Nightmare On Elm Street and Halloween.
If you are going to remake a classic movie, do something different. You can still honor the original, but also be your own thing with a remake. Either do something different or don't remake the film at all
I didn't hate the remake, but it was nothing special either; it certainly didn't piss me off as much as you (also, I thought Sean Bean was rather creepy as the bad guy) the original, again, didn't do much for me either (it WAS better though); I found it just a bit TOO slow for my liking so basically, my opinion on both movies: meh.
17:12 to 17:30 Sophia Bush can play badass characters usually real well.. if you thought she was f rate here i say it was more a case of script being the problem so really not Sophia's fault. Matt check out her fight scenes in shows like "Chicago pd" for proof this woman has talent and a great look
I like Sophia Bush in this mostly because of remembering from "one Tree Hill" as Brooke Davis. the remake was not as good as the original but usually originals beat remakes. the gore was good in this
The only horror movie remakes I liked in the 2000s were Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Hills Have Eyes, and House of Wax. I know Matt likes the Dawn of the Dead remake but that shit is highly overrated IMO.
You're right, it's shit. No one comes close to Rutger, and the only reason many guys prefer the remake is because they wanna see Sophia's Bush...yeah, cheesy pun intended ..
Sophia Bush is beautiful yes I agree there. I used to have the film but I gave it away. But everything else in the film was dumb because it's the result of POOR DECISION MAKING!
Call me crazy but I loved this movie in theater. I would never say it's better or close to the original but I thought it made enough changes to make it a worthy remake. I need to watch it again though. Didn't they play nine inch nails after he broke of the jail? Idk I really dug it
It's not that different...and the differences they made did make? made it a worse version. I think it's one of the Top 5 Worst Remakes of All Time...to each their own.
What I was referring to was that Platinum Dunes was considering the idea of remaking Rosemary's Baby with Michael Bay producing but THANKFULLY, that didn't go through. Plus The TV mini series isn't considered canon, meaning it's NOT, in my book, apart of the Rosemary Baby story.
Always enjoy your videos man! I love that your not afraid to give your thoughts on films dude! Great review, and I have just added the original Hitcher to my movies to watch list!
I'm loyal to the original. its a personal movie for me. when i went to go see the remake and some parts i liked but looking back.....i'm like...fuck it. and i own the original on vhs.
10:24 to 10:37 sad as it is that Rutger Hauer a great actor and person is gone I would have liked hearing his and Eric red's thoughts on this. would have been another funny rant
OMG I bet they would NEVER re release it because they FEAR it would do better then the 2007 Version! LOL LOL LOL Originals LIVE ON! Long live THE HITCHER 1986 Version!!!!
I get that you don't like the remake, as for myself I prefer the original too. But is there any need to act like a 2 year old having a tantrum over spilled milk about it? Is just a movie, not the end of the world.
@@ramboraph4life I find it funny that somebody with the screen name Some EdgeLord is telling someone else they're acting like a 2 year old having a tantrum. 😏
Excellent rant my friend, Sean Bean looks constipated through the fucking film its hilarious, fuck this remake. Rutger Hauer will always be The Hitcher.
One does not simply replace Rutger Hauer
They tried with Jake Busey and Sean Bean
Horror/Thriller remakes are 99% of the times SHIT! I stopped giving a shit a long time ago,Hollywood abused for too long! lol
Your Intro always gets me pumped!!!!
I like Hitcher as well. I would get it for DVD. The Hitcher 2 was confusing but watchable. However the remake made it worse and was so stupid.
The Director only did music videos? Wow, that's sad.
In the words of Frank Darabont, “Did The Hitcher really NEED to be remade?”
Also did Hitcher need a sequel?
You were pretty pissed off man.Would you say this remake angered you off the most out of all the remakes you've seen?
That movie made all of Matt's hair fall out 😆
Seems more like a sequel to The Hitcher 2: I've Been Waiting. Guy dies, girl survives and deals with the hitcher. Same story if you ask me.

Got rid of it, love it. Good profile name! 👌
@@justinedse3314 Thanks.
Sean Bean ain't got shit on Rugter Hauer!!!
My favorite parts were when you were torturing the DVD and throwing it around lol
YES!! thank you Matt! I'm glad someone thinks like I do. Instead of remaking a classic movie, why not just re-release the original movies. The studios would make ten times more money than a remake would, and plus, people would love it!!

3. Hitcher 2, 2. The Hitcher, 1. Remake
I thought The Hitcher was an average remake but I still liked the original movie a lot more. I thought you could do worse with remakes such as A Nightmare On Elm Street and Halloween.
Well, what is your least favorite remake?
I didnt think it was that bad.not great but entertaining.
The Hitcher remake deserves all the hate its gotten and then some. Seriously good rant and very entertaining!

If i wanna watch Sophia Bush, i watch Stay Alive or Van Wilder. Stay Alive (2006) is my favorite
17:12 to 17:30 Sophia Bush can play badass characters usually real well.. if you thought she was f rate here i say it was more a case of script being the problem so really not Sophia's fault. Matt check out her fight scenes in shows like "Chicago pd" for proof this woman has talent and a great look
I saw this at the cinema. Total waste of time and money.
excellent rant matt
haven't seen either film, but I call bullshit on the director of this film. If you hate a film, you have no business remaking it
I like Sophia Bush in this mostly because of remembering from "one Tree Hill" as Brooke Davis. the remake was not as good as the original but usually originals beat remakes. the gore was good in this
Sophia bushwacker
This Suck horror remake of Halloween A nightmare on elm street Day of the dead Prom night With Black Christmas and the hitcher
I Actually think The Hitcher Remake is Underrated it’s one of the Better Remakes
The only horror movie remakes I liked in the 2000s were Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Hills Have Eyes, and House of Wax. I know Matt likes the Dawn of the Dead remake but that shit is highly overrated IMO.
the CW version of the hitcher! lol good one. yeah this movie really sucked.
You're right, it's shit. No one comes close to Rutger, and the only reason many guys prefer the remake is because they wanna see Sophia's Bush...yeah, cheesy pun intended ..
Sophia Bush is beautiful yes I agree there. I used to have the film but I gave it away. But everything else in the film was dumb because it's the result of POOR DECISION MAKING!
@@wiinterflowers4277she was great in Stay Alive (2006)
Call me crazy but I loved this movie in theater. I would never say it's better or close to the original but I thought it made enough changes to make it a worthy remake. I need to watch it again though. Didn't they play nine inch nails after he broke of the jail? Idk I really dug it

I never saw the original but I can say this: THANK CHRIST THEY DID NOT REMAKE ROSEMARY'S BABY!
They did...as a TV Mini-series in 2014.
What I was referring to was that Platinum Dunes was considering the idea of remaking Rosemary's Baby with Michael Bay producing but THANKFULLY, that didn't go through. Plus The TV mini series isn't considered canon, meaning it's NOT, in my book, apart of the Rosemary Baby story.
Platinum Dunes basically said
Less remakes more original franchise ideas
@@daimonatkins3046 That's what I referring to. Thanks Daimon.
@wiinterflowers4277 i can say the same for The French Connection
Always enjoy your videos man! I love that your not afraid to give your thoughts on films dude! Great review, and I have just added the original Hitcher to my movies to watch list!

I like Sean Bean but he ain't no Rutger Hauer.
The same guy who directed The Hitcher 2, directed Carnosaur 2
I agree....Do a re-release.
What's the movie at 0:52 in the opening? It shows a woman screaming in the dark.
It's The Relic.
OMG I bet they would NEVER re release it because they FEAR it would do better then the 2007 Version! LOL LOL LOL Originals LIVE ON! Long live THE HITCHER 1986 Version!!!!
15:16 Wow a director so bad that he didn't care about the original hitcher from 1986.
I get that you don't like the remake, as for myself I prefer the original too. But is there any need to act like a 2 year old having a tantrum over spilled milk about it? Is just a movie, not the end of the world.
XanderDude2k15 It's fun. It's better to do it in a review than in real life. And people down below you enjoyed it/laughed/had fun. So yes.
ɷ I Havee Watched Thisss Movieee Leakedddd Versionnnn Here : - t.co/e6QlTccFx6
Call Me Gaffer 😂😂
screw off he hates this film you know it
@@ramboraph4life I find it funny that somebody with the screen name Some EdgeLord is telling someone else they're acting like a 2 year old having a tantrum. 😏
The guy who did The Hitcher 2 must love sequels with directing Joy Ride 2 and Carnosaur 2 but he did Bats which had a sequel but did not directed it
I hate this remake, it's a piece of S.IT. The original is a gem💎
And the sequel is never talked about
Ever review the 1953 film?
No.
Was there a 1953 movie i didnt realize it
This remake is ALMOST as bad as The Wicker Man as far as totally missing the point of what made the original so awesome.
This sounds weird but I want to know if I can have that movie even if you put your finger in your nose and wiped it on the DVD I want to know

UMAD?

one tip burn the disc
Excellent rant my friend, Sean Bean looks constipated through the fucking film its hilarious, fuck this remake. Rutger Hauer will always be The Hitcher.
I put this movie in the same category as the new nightmare on elm street both unnecessary and they are both horrible compared to the originals.
i liked new nightmare
New Nightmare 1994 or Nightmare on Elm Street 2010?
The 2010 Nightmare remake is turning 10 this year
