I've noticed that studios are into "remaking" movies nowadays. So my question for y'all have you seen any remakes and liked the remake better than the original or did they butcher it? What are your thoughts on remakes anyways? Any remakes you are actually looking forward to seeing?
I think anything from Shakespeare can't really be considered a "remake." Those stories have been around for hundreds of years. It's not the same as redoing, say, Breakfast Club.
