    “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"?

        ‘Prove’ in this context means ‘test’. Like the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Just an aside.

      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.
