12 Movies So Bad That They Are Actually Funny

9. Total Recall (2012)

Remakes of popular movies are always a challenge, and Len Wiseman illustrated just how bad they can be with his 2012 version of “Total Recall.” The first had its faults, but at least it was entertaining.

Fans of author Philip K. Dick hoped for a movie true to the original story, but this loses the sense of mystery and adventure.

Mars is replaced by Australia, and the plot details are changed for no apparent reason. “Total Recall” (2012) drags to a disappointing conclusion, and many scenes raise more laughs than tension.

Stepping into Arnold Schwarzenegger’s shoes was never going to be an easy task, so actor Colin Farrell had a tough time convincing audiences that he was up to the challenge.

The movie is directed by Len Wiseman who is best known for the “Underworld” series. Instead of simply remaking the original film, the writers decided to do an adaptation of Philip K. Dick’s short story “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale.”

Bad Movie but it’s not Gonna be Waste of your Time!

Several new characters were invented and the storyline took on a more political theme. This angered fans who were excited for a reboot of the classic science fiction movie, and many took to internet chat rooms to express their disappointment.
