I think we have to differentiate between 'remake' .. and 'new version'.
Remake suggests that there is going to be an improvement on the origional.
Maybe thats why most people hate them
I think of them as new versions. Inspired by the origional but by no means an attempt to be a new improved version of the origional.
what this particular director would have done given the framework.
if you look at it this way ... then it makes it easier to like them.
Dawn of the Dead, and Savini's Night of the Living Dead movies get my vote in that light ..
