I think it is new, for a new generation but it does not make sense to me to re-do an original. If if was good, you can't make it better. One I really did not like was Footloose back in 2011.
But I'm just saying everybody has their own opinion and there are some bad remakes that are box office flops , however there are some good movie remakes that everybody whats to see .
The next thing I'm going to mention even Disney movies that we all grew up on are getting remade. I don't have a problem with it after I saw Into the woods back in 2014. Into the Woods is the last Disney movie that I ever Liked and I almost gave up on Disney movies but the 2015 remake of Cinderella gave me hope again .
The Jungle book back in 2016 and Beauty and the Beasts in 2017 are both movies that won me over. Disney seems to be the king of all Remakes. Look at the Parent Trap, Freaky Friday and 101 Dalmations.
There is no shame in liking remade movies from good , bad , worst and box office flops. Everybody has their own favorite whether it is the original or a re-do.
Movie nerd fans, tell me your favorite movie re-make.
