But that's not unreasonable, really. The only point of a remake is to improve upon the original. Whether or not it does is another matter, but I can't think of any other good reason for remaking a film.
I'm talking about true remakes, of course- not something like the various Frankensteins, which are all variations on a completely separate, literary work; and should be viewed as such.
