The Time Machine 2002

[HD Goofnut]

It's terrible when compared to the original, but on its own it's decent. I'd buy it for $8 or less.

Or did you just mean "Best REMAKE, compared to the 70's TV movie?")

So, "It's good if you've never seen the original in your life"?--Yeah, that seems to be the consensus.

(Of course, if you HAVE, it changes the judgment somewhat

I saw the original with Rod Taylor when it was first released as a kid. For its time it was fantastic. I even bought the Dell comic. But it is dated when you go back and see it.
The 2002 remake fits better for our day and age.
The next one (as it is a tradition to remake this classic will appeal to the newer audiences, as long as the story isn't overwhelmed by CGI or whatever future FX will be)
