I know that the "Dawn of the Dead" remake was a licensed property, and everyone who owned the original got their money, etc. And I also know that film is a commercial medium; it's an art form that exists primarily to make money for its investors. Technically it's not a "rip-off," but it does have vibrations of money-sucking evil about it.
Man, what an unnecessary, crassly commercial, and badly executed abomination it was (in my personal and deeply heartfelt opinion)! I mean, a lot of people liked it, and that's cool, I'm not dissing those good folks, but I personally was appalled.
