On the face of it, it could be disappointing that there are so many remakes these days, as remakes are almost always poor. I think that the noticeable increase in remakes is down to Hollywood being much more receptive to the idea of adapting foreign language movies (Asia in particular).
This is a good thing when you think about it. It is exposing the people who are too closed minded/lazy to watch a subtitled movie to a wealth of culture.
As well, those with English as a first language don't have exclusivity on making quality cinema. So, if the adapted movies are well done it is a welcome development.
