  If a movie is good, I’m not sure how I follow that it is "unnecessary ". Nothing is necessary, outside of base needs.

    Because it’s not better than the original and it costs millions of dollars to make. It’d be better to spend that time and resources on something that’s actually new.

      So every movie needs to be better than the movie before it? If I were to talk about movies that were a waste of money, I wouldn’t be focused on the decent ones. Like 95% of movies made are total schlock.

        Not at all. I’m just saying that if it’s a remake, there should be a reason for making it other than just money, ideally.

      If the actors, crew and other businesses benefitted from making the film that’s ok with me. Let them spend their money. Though I’m sorry if you feel cheated when you pay to see the movie.

        I never said that.
