I do tend to agree with greencept on this subject. remakes only work in very, very rare instances. Often times, remakes that go in an unexplored direction can work, but I think that's dependant on a persons taste. For instance, I like the direction that the Spielberg WoW went while some of you on this board would disagree. In truth, I've never seen the original film nor did I watch the show. I am currently reading the book and the book feels like the remake. Maybe that's cause i only saw the remake, I don't know.
