I have always been fair enough to give remakes a chance no matter what material they are based on. Some are amazing (I.E. Scarface) and some are just dreadful (Platinum Dunes catalog), but that's the risk of seeing any movie.
Now as people avoiding subtitles, that can be chalked up to an aesthetic sort of deal (though, I am sure there are plenty who just don't like reading). When people go to the movies they want to really be sucked into the movie, but for some subtitles can be a sort of barrier that keeps someone from truly enjoy movies in a cinematic way. I've never had a problem with subtitles, but I usually do have an easier time getting into movies in my native language and I am sure that there are similar cases in other countries.
I have yet to see Let Me In, but I am actually looking forward to it. From what I've heard, its at least worth a watch.
