To all those defenders of the remake - Tell me what was original or worthwhile about the new movie to, other than doing it in English??
In my opinion, your making WAY too much out of this. You can't stop the production of remakes. Like it or not, they are a permanent fixture in Hollywood. I'm not really a fan of remakes myself, and I agree that remaking "Let the Right One In" was not necessary at all. My only point was that, as far as remakes go, they did a really good job on "Let Me In". Remakes usually remove everything that I thought was cool about a movie, and replace it with whatever is trendy or make huge changes in order to attract a new and younger audience. I have accepted the things I cannot change (the over bombardment of remakes) and in doing so, I can appreciate "Let Me In" as a horror movie that I enjoyed.
Just because we can't "change" the fact that remakes and "reimaginings" are a large part of Hollywood doesn't mean we can't argue about their merit. Remakes have been and always will be a good topic for debate and discussion. I have yet to see
Let Me In, but a lot of folks are making valid arguments as to why it was not necessary artistically.
