Hollywood may be in love with remakes, but critics don't usually share those warm feelings. Nevertheless, revisiting an old property can sometimes prove fruitful, and not just commercially. In the gallery above, you'll find the best-reviewed remakes and franchise reboots of the past three decades, ranked by Metascore. (Note that a movie must have at least 7 reviews from professional critics to be eligible.)
Original: Short Term 12 (2009), directed by Destin Daniel Cretton
Based on his own experiences working at a group home for teenagers, film student Destin Daniel Cretton's 22-minute short won the Jury Prize at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. He re-worked the film four years later into an award-winning full-length feature starring Brie Larson.
