Why... No need.
I understand Hollywood is at a stage were they can't come up with anything new.
Movies or on TV. TV shows are recycled or cancelled and movies are just the same because they keep remaking *beep* literally.
This was something that didn't need to be remade.
Watching it now just proves my point. I love the original, nothing else like it simply because it's an odd movie. I've seen it on stage and it's been done a few different ways yet been done true to the movie.
This however has too much of the pop culture feel. It ruins it. And how their singing the songs is terrible.
I do appreciate the gentleman playing Brad, I think he's doing pretty good. I know you can't expect everyone (while movie included) to stay original but at least try in some part to give the people who are fans something to look forward too. I guess I can say I'm glad they stuck with the dialogue too and the flow of the film.
Also not to not pick.. Rocky doesn't have Tattoos. So if your going to remake something do it right. Or just make a new film all together.
The movie just felt like a BAD rock concert.
