Remade films are a tough call. I don't think I've really ever enjoyed a recently remade film, although it seems there are more out there than ever. On the other end, they're really nothing new. Ben Hur, was a remake, Maltese Falcon was done a few times, Casablanca was done on TV, House of Wax was done once before the great Vincent Price version. Even Hitchcock remadeThe Man Who Knew Too Much. I think the seperation between now and then is now it's all a Hollywood game. Its sadly not about making an artist type vision of a screenplay, but rather hyping and making the big opening day boxoffice. And I might add very little risk taken creativily. IMHO.
