It's not necessarily exactly the same (the famous long take is different, and Roth's performance is nothing like that of Mühe's). That's beside the point, though. I love Haneke because he doesn't give a shit what I think about his movies, and yet they end up being so good it's almost scary in itself. He reminds me of Lynch in that sense, despite the fact that they make very different films. This is a revolting movie, and it made me feel bad, and that's exactly what it was supposed to do.

It's kind of pointless if you've seen the Austrian original, somewhat funny though that Haneke thought the English-speaking world deserved a remake for the ignorant slobs who don't read subtitles. Watts is great like usual in these traumatic roles but Michael Pitt just annoys the shit out of me in pretty much everything.

The first part of the movie was awesome , and would give it 9/10 , but the second part ( after the thing with the boy .. ) was terrible. All went downhill after that. The thing with the remote control made no sense. Would give that part a 1/10.

I only saw this because of the cancellation of another film. I didn't hate it, but I don't think it is very good. Being as flat as this can be OK, but the film only sounds one note. The Brechtian devices don't add as much significance as intended. The directorial voice seems aggressive towards the audience, if not in fact sadistic. All in all, it is unpleasant, without much in the way of reward for undergoing the experience.

One way to enjoy this movie is to have your expectations open before watching it and during. It's not a standard horror film fulfilling your needs as a viewer. It's about horror films and us, the audience who gets pleasure from suffering as entertainment. Although this is almost identical to the original, and the acting is good especially from Watts, somehow the 1997 Austrian version works better. If you hated it at least give credit to Haneke for the attempt at something original. I liked it.

Pretty dumb all around. Moves incredibly slow especially after the thing with the boy. Pitt wasn't scary at all and I love how they finally get a phone and it conveniently doesn't work. Also the remote control thing was ridiculous. Tries to teach something - but fails miserably.

Intensely fucked up, and not exactly in a gleeful way. When I first watched this movie, about 3 years before this watch, I mostly saw it as one of those movies that's enjoyable mostly because it's fucked up. This time I was much more moved - even shocked - by the events happening on the screen. The blend of hyper-realism and surreal stylization makes for an intensely unsettling effect. I enjoyed parts of it, but calling this movie as a whole enjoyable would almost make me feel like a bad person.

Really preaching and annoying. The ''message'' of the film could be achieved just as well without being this dull and patronising (just watch Henry). I like horror films that assault their audience but this one just underestimates your intelligence and tries to achieve some sort of weird moral high ground. I guess the intentions of Haneke were good but I just felt annoyed and slightly insulted. Oh, and the english language version adds nothing relevant at all.

Michael Haneke, somewhat infamous for his plot destroying twists at this point, does it again with that damned remote. But, then again, isn't that the point? How dare you want to watch this in the first place, you sick bastards? All joking aside: It's damn well made. A shot for shot remake of the original, it retains all of the sinister (and sometimes humorous) attitude of its predecessor, and still gets the same message across: sometimes, the bad guys win. And it's delicious.

Haneke had some interesting ideas, and set himself up an opportunity to execute, but for the most part he failed to do so. The film moved at much to slow of a pace, and could have been improved 10 fold by some simple editing.

The first half is utterly amazing. It is intense and very disturbing. However the turning point is the scene where the incredible Michael Pitt gets hungry. From that point everything is boring, stupid and just plain awful. The rewind scene takes the price for worst scene of the year. It destroys the little tension the movie still has left at this point. There should be a maximum number of times it is permitted to break the forth wall. If you do it four times the joke is pretty much ruined.

Absolutely horrible to watch, an unpleasant challenge - that eight-minute single shot halfway through the devastating and horrible apotheosis. Yet it works, both as a horrific straight-ahead home invasion thriller and a blood-tinged satire of such. Nauseating, but that's the point. The acting is excellent, from all parties, making the despair, devastation and humiliation all the more convincing. Haneke's direction is spot-on for what he's trying to do. It's simultaneously a 5/5 and a 0/5.

This is probably the most disturbing movie I have ever seen. Directed by the great Michael Haneke, this post-modern movie is essentially an essay on movie violence and "gorn" / "torture porn" or, to put it simply, anti-Saw. The acting on all sides is superb. Oh, and extra props go to "Funny Games" for making brilliant use of John Zorn's music. Twice. Once in the opening credits. However, it is best seen with friends if you're sensitive, since the emotions might be too much to handle alone.

Although the original had the privilege of coming out first, this shot-by-shot faithful American remake is more technically polished which makes it slightly more effective than its twin sibling. The performances are just as convincing and the near-brilliance of the message packs a wallop as hard as the first time round -it's just that it seems pointless to make the same film twice, even if this one improves on some of the 1997 version's minor directorial misteps.

I have a feeling a lot of people are going to dislike Funny Games for the same reason I really enjoyed it. It's a movie that deals almost entirely in its subtleties. It manages to get its point across without being up-front about it. It has well-developed characters, all of which have differing personality traits. The villains of the story aren't stereotypical, but instead are incredibly polite young men. Funny Games isn't always the easiest film to watch, but it's one that'll be hard to forget.

Haneke remakes his own pedantic crank movie with the same results – once again, establishes the condescending premise that his audience is incapable of dealing ethically with screen violence without his superior moral guidance, and then rubs his audience’s nose in ugliness for two hours! Admittedly well performed by both captors and captives, but the film says more about Haneke’s troubling processing of screen violence (not to mention the films' champions) than it does of the plebs!

Funny Games is infinitely more sophisticated than its distant compatriots in the horror film milieu. It's elegantly sardonic, narratively clairvoyant, and fiendishly polite. It's more than just a distillation and radical reinterpretation of the junk-art horror aesthetic, it's completely genre defying as it takes on metaphysical themes that veer into the philosophical. Haneke reveals his mastery of the medium with a near perfect execution of ideas.

This movie is so slow that at times it's difficult to justify watching the entire thing just to get to the few good things it has. The nice stuff includes the cast of actors, who all do a very awesome job, and few very tense moments that are filled with pure sadism. The 'gimmick' that the movie has, and which I'm not going to mention as it'd spoil the whole thing, is effective only once and other times it's just plain weird. It's got some good stuff, but overall it just doesn't quite get there.

Haneke is a very gifted director, and this is a critique of popular culture, although not that much of a film. It is very obvious, from early on, but I fail to see how it could not be if it didn't want to risk being ambiguous. Uncomfortable to watch, but not because of the gore, which isn't out of the ordinary for a thriller. The beginning and the end are good, but the middle is slow and monotonous. It might have been deliberate, but it hurts the power of the film a bit.

I think I understand Haneke's reasons for remaking the original for an American audience, but it loses some of its power in the process (or maybe I'm just comparing it unfavourably since I saw the original first?). Of particular note, the American Paul has a generic playful teenage killer feel to him, whereas the Austrian Paul had a cold smirk that worked better with the film's themes (since the killers are doing it for narrative convention rather than out of enjoyment).

Watching the original at a film-festival in the late '90s was a great experience, and the key-scenes in this one still felt very familiar and with less of an impact the second time around. Also seems like the on-screen villains in this one were less charismatic; that and what seems like a copy-remake makes this one a lesser film - unless you're very game on Naomi.W in her underwear. *Preview*: 'original', creator Haneke/1, Naomi.W!/10, R2.

I love the idea. I love the acting. I love the cinematography. However, a lot of the scenes, such as Naomi Watts trying to free herself and her and Tim Roth trying to get the phone to work just go on way too long, even past the point where they serve any sort of artsy purpose from a filmmaker perspective. Perhaps a reimagining of the movie rather than a shot-for-shot remake could have improved it further.

I have no experience with the original version of Funny Games, but I have to say after all is said and done I really liked this movie. The atmosphere is unsettling and at the beginning it's a little campy reminscent of Lynch's style; what you end up getting is a gripping, tense, provacative thriller that does a good job with its mature subject matter. I've heard that the original is significantly better, and if that's the case then it must be one hell of a movie 'cause this one was great.

Having not seen the original or even knowing anything about when I seen this probably helped a ton in my enjoyment. This is a pretty twisted little story being told here with good cinematography and a good setting for the events that fall into place. Pitt is once again really good at playing some kind of weirdo, Roth is also good, and I thought Watts was great as the good looking sometimes weak or sometimes strong character here.

A disturbing meta-horror that forces the audience to rethink their expectations of the genre, and how violence is portrayed in the media in general. Pitt is entirely convincing as the psychopath with seemingly no motivation and Roth, Watts and Gearhart are decent as the victimised family. The 'breaking of the forth wall' ruins the narrative but surely that's the point. I'll be seeking out the original for sure.

Frighteningly realistic; their 'routines' could've come from a police report, brilliantly acted and with Hanekes wonderful use of time and framing. Haneke tells you (to your face) not to expect any Hollywood BS but you still do so he punishes you. Exhausted for the rest of the film you'll go along with whatever happens, mind opened enough for you to need to check if your morality is still there afterwards.

This excessive Michael Haneke outing - a remake to his own 1997 cult classic of the same name - manages to be more pretentious than thought-provoking, something the original avoided as an indie film; in this update, viewers receive tighter cinematography, an improved soundtrack, and better actors, as Haneke errs the initial message behind Funny Games in favor of spreading his vision - now overdone and forcibly uneven - to more American screens.

It's always interesting to see how a director remakes their own movie. It doesn't always work out, but it certainly did in this case. It's been a few years since I saw the original version, so it's not exactly fresh in my mind, but I think this edges it out, mostly on the overwhelming strengths of the cast, though like usual, I do think you may as well just make the family British if you're going to cast two British actors as the leads

Critics always criticise the actions of victims in horrors; luckily they have never been in that situation. This is a film that asks the question "why are you watching this?" The re-wind, 'to camera' & last boat scene are genius at saying "No, sorry! no such luck viewers!". One review says "Any film...kills off a boy and the dog is trying too hard to be outrageous". No, not outrageous, "REAL". No 'end of film hollywood smile' here, no "bad guy gets it" .. just a well crafted cinematic question

This movie is so good in what it does that I never ever, under no circumstances want to see it again.

Why did the director wait more than a decade for this remake and then add NOTHING original to the film. I swear even the clothes are the same as the original. I get it, its not a reboot, not a new movie. Its a remake, by the same director, with the same script. But for entertainments sake, dont make exactly the same movie with English actors,improve for fucks sake! Still,an entertaining watch.And i actually preferred the acting from the 2 bad dudes in this one more than in the original.

Michael Pitt makes a good psycho kid. While watching this movie you'll often feel the urge of screaming at the computer/tv screen to tell the mother and father not to act so damn stupid...

Pitt and Corbet make for a smooth pair of yuppie lunatic villains, but otherwise it didn't do it for me too much. This is a thinly-plotted two-hour movie, and trust me, you feel every second of that running time. (But, all that said, I had a friend in college who loved weird movies and he spent DAYS raving about this supposed masterpiece after seeing it. Six years later and I still remember that. I've now seen it and I don't agree with him at all, but it's worth noting.)

Haunting, disturbing, horrifying and I enjoyed every second of it. Funny Games plays as an essay of random acts of violence done by truly psychotic people. As the two young men torment the small family, all sense of hope slowly drains and the moment it kicks back up, it's quickly taken away. Even with that, there's an element of not only satire, but slight comedic elements that make the film an easier watch, if only by a little. Not for the squeamish but certainly an excellent picture.

Any film in which the director kills off a boy *and* the family dog is trying too hard to be outrageous.

It's certainly competent -- it has a plausible plot development, you know --, but I just can't understand why Haneke had to do it all over again. I really don't.

Nowhere near as good as the previous versions of this film, Fun Games, Funny Games (italy) Funnygames (Ireland/uk) et al, though worth a watch. This version looses most of the "horror" aspect of the film, be it intentional or otherwise. It's replaced with a semi-gripping plot, and true suspense. Not much of a thrill(er) though.

Hasn't moved me an inch because I had seen the original which was identical to this remake but somehow much better. The first time Haneke has disappointed me.

A disturbing and mind bending film. By no means pleasant viewing but the film knows what it's setting out to do and achieves this in a effective way. There's a lot of clear artistic choices and it serves the film well in it's attention to detail.

Brutal uncompromising take on our relationship with violence given added poignancy by its American setting and cast.

Very frustrating, but in a good way. Haneke really makes the viewer feel like a guilty observant with his long, uncomfortable takes. Important things happening off-screen adds to the at times unbearable tension. I actually enjoyed the breaking of the 4th wall, didn't expect that. Rewinding the movie made me chuckle, then feel guilty for what came next. Excellent work all-over.

Makes you ask yourself why do you watch the media you do. Original piece of work which explores our fascination with violence.
