To think the new version of Dirty Dancing looks absolutely crap! (Spoilers I guess even though I haven't seen it either)

Just saw this advertised as a UK premier for Channel 5 so went on YouTube to see some videos. Now, remakes are generally crap but AIBU to think that they should actually make an attempt to surpass the original? Here is the dance to the finale in the original version:

Even if you're not a fan of the original at least it is talented dancing and an exciting scene to watch!

now to me the following is just lacklustre and pointless and uneventful compared to the original. It's just amateurish and crap, simple dancing! It's not even like I'm a huge fan but when I saw it I was utterly bored (although 'Baby's' 'run' at 3:25 really makes me laugh Grin):

It was such a bad ending!? What were they thinking? Everything was just so bad!

Why were the characters singing "I've had the time of my life"??! DH and I almost died laughing when Baby's mum and dad started singing. Grin

Crap.

Didn't help that the 2 main roles (Johnny and Baby) were really awkward looking and unattractive.

Sorry but you can't re-do a classic like this. The guy who played Johnny was odd looking and the girl who played Baby was awkward looking and schlumpy.
