ITT: post a reboot/remake that wasn't complete dog shit

that was shot for shot tho
does it really count?

Dredd isn't a remake or reboot

Kill yourself

Some dumb criticisms. Remakes weren't the nuisance in 2004 that they are today.
DoTD(04) had some pretty cool niggers. The cop nigger was an all around badass and his friendship with the gun shop guy was interesting. The nigger nigger was hilarious for how bat shit crazy he was at the end. I was glad they didn't go with the predictable "nigger with a heart of gold" path for his character.
Sprinters were what made the movie for me really. I don't find slow, shambling zombies intimidating in the least.
A pretty silly complaint. I thought the way they showed the blond girl working at the hospital and casually talking about the kind of injuries preceding a zombie apocalypse was great buildup.
Another silly complaint.
I suppose this could be debated.

Thanks for sharing user.

I liked the third act where it actually felt like evil dead

I'm digging how much love horror reboots are getting ITT. I always thought that a great remake ought to supplement the original without detracting from them while maintaining their own identity.

I personally enjoyed the original Texas Chainsaw remake, F13 and Evil Dead for going this route. The Nightmare on Elm Street redux eats asshole because it's just a tone deaf retread of the original, without bringing anything new to the table while in command of a character tailor made for such a treatment.

Now here is the real dividing line, I think. You either love this one, or hate it. I'm of the former, and it never made sense to me why this gets shit on the way it does.

I enjoyed it more than the original honestly. The only people I've heard shit on it are Romero purists who hate seeing running zombies in their zombie fiction. The only minor complaint I had with it was the last 30 minutes or so feel more rushed than the beginning, but it makes sense since they're trying to escape a giant zombie horde and so it was probably intentional.
