  Eh, I’d rather the remake makes some chances, otherwise what’s the point of just doing the same thing again. Generally speaking the closer the remake is to the original the less value it adds. Sometimes these changes work and sometimes they don’t but I’d rather they take a swing. Like Psycho or Funny Games and Oldboy remakes are exactly like the original and feel completely pointless.

    I feel like there’s a difference between remakes of old movies and remakes of very recent movies that just weren’t American

  Yes to both.
