30 Best Movie Remakes (and Reboots) of the Past 30 Years
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: 13 Assassins (1963), directed by Eiichi Kudo
Takashi Miike's excellent 2010 samurai film is a remake of Eiichi Kudo's black-and-white film of the same name. Both are loosely based on true events occurring during the mid-1800s, but Miike's is the superior work, thanks in part to a much larger budget and more ambitious filmmaking. Both are evident in a stunning closing battle sequence that runs for nearly 45 minutes.
