I could almost buy the first one, but now I am supposed to buy that they had the technology in the 50's to split race as well as every other attribute? I call shenanigans!

We don't need to see it again. Besides, it's Arnold and Danny's movie.

I didn't like the first one so I will not be seeing this one. Even if Eddie Murphy is in it.

I thought the first one was a silly movie, why bother to make a second one.

Goodness Hollywood can we please get a few new creative writers on board,, Hello!!!

They don't care about the consumers or the product unless they already know that it has blockbuster status written all over it from the start! Doing these silly remakes saves them money on advertising because people are already familiar with the characters,so they just take them and put them in a different setting,and if we stay away from the cinema,they'll have it released on video within a month to recoup their initial invesatment as soon as possible. It's a terrible state of affairs!

Why make a sequel to a movie that sucked.

Naw,.... this remake is like a "Fat Book” written to make money, and usually not that good and snookers the public into seeing the movie or reading the book. It’s based on previous successes.

I’d say less than half of them are any good.

The first movie wasn't that good to begin with, in fact it was and remains one of the few movies I did not like starring Arnold.

Eddy Murphy hasn't had a hit or anything worth wild seeing since The Nutty Professor.

And even that sucked.

Fun

I think it's funny that a lot of people, like the commentators so far, face palmed the idea of the original movie "Twins" when it first came out. Then they saw it and backpedaled as fast as they could.

I'll wait and watch the movie and make my judgement then.

For all of his real life goof ups, I'm hoping Eddie can get his career back on track.

Eddie should have stuck to his Richard Pryor roots, I hate clean-cut Eddie and so do a lot of other people that I know!

More like 70 years ago they ran out of concept ideas. 30 years ago they ran out of fresh spins on the concept that haven't been done somewhere. 20 years ago they began running an ever increasing fresh blood of talent to rejuvenate the industry. 15 years ago they ran out fresh ways to market a movie. 10 years ago they ran out of fresh ways to make a movie. 4 years ago they ran out of the magic to make a film that isn't overshadowed by the special effects and it make decent money.

Thank you:) The problems isn't always the movies fault either. For instance the new variations on the concepts often got stolen by television shows, books, stage plays, and even the Internet. Some creative spins on concepts still probely are out there but by the time Hollywood gets the idea it's already been used somewhere now days.
