Whenever people discuss movies for long enough, you can bet that someone will talk about how tired they are of remakes.
And while Hollywood was able to duck this backlash for a while by "rebooting" classics instead of remaking them, both practices became overused and tired enough that it's kind of hard to distinguish between them. And yet, it seems that every year without fail, something from our childhoods falls victim to another plan to remake it.
As easy as it is to hate unnecessary sequels, those at least try to tell us a new story with familiar characters. But when they remake something, it's often more akin to copying someone's homework and changing it just enough so the teacher doesn't notice.
But if you're wondering why this keeps happening, I'm afraid the biggest answer lies in the hearts and especially the wallets of your fellow viewers.
