And this movie isn't a remake even, it's a new Superman story. It's about Superman returning to Earth after seeing Krypton. Batman Begins was a retelling of Batman but it was needed since Burton did such a great job of going over the top and making Batman look like a goof in his 2 movies. He took the Batman that had finally gotten serious after 50 years and turned it into a circus. Then in part 2 he turned it in Beetlejuice.Besides, making new movies with comic book characters is fine. It's when you remake real movies that it becomes stupid. Like if someone tried to remake Forrest Gump.

Like if someone tried to remake Forrest Gump.Rumours for years that they're going to do Gump 2.I don't feel Burton was the one who harmed Batman, I think the first two movies yes weren't dark but they were both good. The third and fourth movies were the shitty ones that caused the damage. I don't mind them making new movies based on old characters or sequels, I just get pissed when they remake the exact same fucking movie. Oceans 11 for instance. While it was a great movie, it had already been done. Oceans 12 was a joke, too killing my 'sequels are alright' argument.
Here are some cool movies that have been remade, IMO-Angels in the Outfield-Vanilla Sky-Cape Fear-Gone in 60 Seconds-The Mummy-The War of the WorldsI havent seen it but a lot of people really liked Charlie and the Chocolate Factor. You really have to eliminate the not so good ones when it comes to remakes, but hey thats pretty much with any type of film

iraq would just get annexed by iran
alfie and thomas crown affair are both good remakes, i gotta check out the original movies tho, and vanilla sky was mentioned, wat was the name of the orignial movie???
"Scarface" wasn't really a remake, the first film was about Al Capone in New York, they just took the essence of that film and translated it to cocaine dealing in Florida, which for me is how it should be. The film could quite easily have been called something else, and you wouldn't have even imagined it being a remake, it was simply inspired by another film.

Apart from moving the action to Florida and making the main character Cuban, 1983 Scarface has basically the same plot (updated, of course) with some characters, scenes and dialogue lines copied directly from the original. And I don't know why you mention Al Capone and New York - wasn't he from Chicago?
