I’ll concede that the FIncher movie was a good remake that deviated enough from the source material to be worthwhile. However I guess we’ll need to agree to disagree because from my point of view the good foreign remakes are greatly outnumbered by a lot of lazy ones like the Let The Right One In remake, which would be another one which I felt was creatively bankrupt.
Surely Holywood could spend their resources on producing novel content as opposed to spoonfeeding people who dislike substitles.
“The Girl with the dragon tattoo” and “a man called Otto” are both good remakes.
So I don’t agree at all. A remake isn’t bad in itself.
What was that saying - " Exceptions prove the rule"?
No it was something about confirmation bias I believe.
