Do old classics need a modern twist? Is it to showcase the latest special effects, refresh a concept for a new generation or to just spin a few hundred million dollars for Hollywood executives?
I totally agree about the new Freddie, he looked ridiculous compared to the Robert Englund Freddie, plus I felt he wasn't as menacing. Along with Jason X... no comment. Just goes to show that Hollywood is lazy and can't think of any good ideas anymore...
The one movie that does come to mind as a good movie remake was Zach Snyder's Dawn of the Dead, it wholly stuck with some original themes from the original Romaro movie, and was more of a "re-imagining" than a remake.
