Fkin remakes...

After reading about the Point Break reboot, I have an honest question, have there been any that were better or remotely as good as the original in your opinion? I pretty much refuse to watch any of them.
Examples that suck:
Willy Wonka
Karate Kid
Red Dawn
Footloose

Add Total Recall and they are always worse.

I really liked Tron Legacy (which I was ready to hate), but it was done more like a sequel.

What do you mean, more like? It was a sequel, not a remake. And it was terrible.
Wonka was even worse. Depp turned Wonka into Michael Jackson.
Footloose wasn't worth a watch.
Red Dawn was an embarrassment.
ARTHUR has got to be near the top of the charts for worst remake.
Didn't see Karate Kid because I hate that weird arse punk, but I heard it wasn't terrible.

All solid choices.
I didn't hate The Manchurian Candidate. I wasn't a fan of the original but that has to do with my irrational dislike of Angela Lansbury.

Not a remake, more of reboot, but the Dredd movie with Karl Urban is worlds better than the Stallone version.

You think these were remotely good?? Let me rephrase: You think any one of these was anything above a horrific abomination?
As far as good remakes: 3:10 to Yuma, Ocean's 11, True Grit, The Parent Trap all come to mind as better than the originals.

True. It's exactly a sequel, disregard entry. I dug it, but know there's a lot that didn't.

GOAT remake = Wizard of Oz

Not to hijack, but is this his thing now. I watched (regrettably) Seventh Son last night and I could barely understand him.

I Agree. Diana Ross was pretty fly in the Wiz.
