ALL remakes... All decent if not great.
sure it is harder to make a remake, but there are some excellent ones out there. I will say that there are some awful ones (Stepford Wives, Psycho, Poseiden Adventure, Alfie)... but really, you never know.

Wow, with the exception of Freaky Friday, The Ring, and Ocean's Eleven, I didn't know all those other ones were remakes. I kinda wonder if maybe it's easier for a remake to do well if the original is not hugely well-known...like people aren't going in to the theater with the original burned into their minds...like they aren't mentally comparing the new lead actor's performance with the iconic original actor's performance.
