I understand why the idea of a remake induces eye-rolling, because too many producers out there are all too eager to capitalize on the popularity of a film to generate money, and very often deliver an inferior product.

I do think it's a mistake, however, to automatically assume that because a film is a remake it is destined for suckage. Shakespeare's plays have been performed countless times over centuries, in countless formats and variations, because of the strength of the source material. But like everything else, a poor production is a poor product, and a superior production is a superior product.
