Remakes: Hooray or no way?

Generally I'm not a fan of remakes because they just try to rehash something which was perfectly good the first time. If they wanted to take something that was garbage originally and make it into something good, then I'd be all for it.

I like remakes of TV shows better than remakes of movies.

I have a love-hate relationship with remakes. Sometimes they're fantastic, but other times they just aren't very good.

I don't like remakes because I'm constantly comparing it to the original. Take Sabrina for example and in black in white, it was unmistakably far better than the one in color.

I've seen great modern remakes of movies that originally sucked (it's a series, but Battlestar Galactica!) and remakes of great older movies that totally flopped (ugh, Manchurian Candidate from 2004)

Sure, they're not bad.

They give you something to write comparison-contrast essays about

No, but in all seriousness I'm not for them or against them. I hate movies in general to the point that I don't care if they want to make another bad movie off of an already bad movie.

Remakes can be pretty good, though it's definitely a hit or miss.

Depends on the how it's done, and what the original is.

I like remakes when it's including something new and interesting but I don't like them when they're just boring and plain rehashes.
