I have slowly been learning that I hate remakes of classic films. I am of the firm belief that if a film has been made well there should no need for a remake. Dawn of the dead is a perfect example for me, the original is a horror classic and there as no need to attempt to create a new version, it just felt to me that it fell into the trap of becoming another modern day horror film which has no insight into social issues like the original had. If a filmmaker believes that they have something to say and express then they should create a film in which you will be able to do so and not be constantly compared to the first version. The only exception to this is the upcoming remake of the John Wayne film, True Grit, which may just give hope for any future remakes and what and what not to do.
