  They’re generally not.
  They’re typically an improvement in production quality. They only place they’re weaker sometimes, is when they try to make substantive changes to the story. That can be hit or miss.

    I mean I agree that there’s plenty if good to decent American remakes, but higher production value doesn’t necessarily make for a better movie man. Movies are an art form and there’s all sorts of things like style and tone that money isn’t necessarily going to solve for you. Sometimes a movie’s lower production value can add to it even if the filmmakers are inventive enough.

    Provide some examples? The only recent (“recent”) remake I can think of that was better than the original is…The Office lol

      Girl with the Dragon Tatoo
      Let Me In > Let the Right One In
      The Ring > Ringu The Italian Job
      Insomnia
      12 Monkies > La Jetée
      True Lies > La Totale!
      The Departed > Infernal Affairs

      They all have better production quality. Most keep the same story with minor alterations. A few make real story improvement or expansion.

        Thanks, didn’t realize those last 3 were remakes.

        I liked girl with the dragon tattoo but was kinda meh on the rest. Only saw the original of the ring, though
