Agreed on the first one, Jarhead was disappointing in all that it was not, could have been so much better. not to mention the general failure of the characters to identify with me or my inability to do so with them either way a liability.

I find at the end of so many movies I keep saying "I already saw (x), and it was way better."
Those two, once again, proof that Hollywood can only do thinly veiled or blatant remakes now, and not get what the original did. Even if the original was a Hollywood film from when they didn't suck so much.
