People don't like remakes for an assortment of reasons. Personally I think a lot of it is just being unoriginal. Why would anyone want to just copy someone elses work and call it their own? only people that don't give a shit about art, and only care about profit are people that do that. Re-making movies is the easy "sell" for hollywood. Its easier to get people to go to a movie they've heard of before than sell them something new. Because most of america's movie going audience doesn't care about quality movies. Most people like what are considered poor movies. But this is also a public that found Usher's newest album "ground breaking".
movie remakes are un-original cop-outs mostly. Though there are some movie re-makes that turn out ok, but those are usually ones with long long gaps between the original and the remake.
