I'm not keen on remakes much at all. Usually they just take shows with manly heroes and replace them with unshaven metrosexuals.
That’s because these days they remake good stuff badly. Back in the early days of Hollywood they tended to remake bad stuff trying to figure out what they screwed up. The version of Maltese Falcon with Bogie was the 3rd time they made that book into a movie in 10 years, the first 2 stank, then they got it right and stopped screwing with it.
