Well i am a huge fan of movies, tv shows and all that stuff. But mostly Remakes fall flat on their faces for me. And i include the importation of a story from one medium into another into that. Sure there are good examples like the witcher series, The thing from another world (Which i freaking love) or even Game of Thrones. (and to an extent the marvel movies)
Buuut most of them are sadly just an attempt to cash in on something already popular. Most of the time its a misunderstanding of what made the original so great or the desperate need to be "New" and "EDGY!"
The Thing prequel, Robocop,Total Recall, TMNT, Transformers, the DC Movieverse and the list goes on and on and on.
Though making a remake is pretty simple. In the words of a much smarter man:
"all you fucking do is take the original..And make a movie just like it. If you wanna go a step further: Make the effects better. If you wanna go even further: Leave out things that did not work in the original. But for that of course you have to realize why people loved it. If you cant bother? Fuck off."
