Remakes better than the originals.

Original Clash of the Titans >>> New Clash of the Titans. Really, the scenes with the giant scorpions almost made me lose all hope in the movie industry. That and the overall piss-poor acting of the movie.

And really, Boris Karloff Mummy destroy any of the crappy new Mummy trilogy. What's next? People telling that the Twilight Vampires are better than Nosferatu or Bela Lugosi Dracula? >_>

Thankfully, this is all just opinion and I think the newer versions I mentioned are better than the originals.

The Mummy (Just The Mummy, not Returns or Dragon), I find to be better. I also really enjoyed Clash of the Titans.

Would also like to add, I'm only 20, and my DVD/Bluray collection has many, many, many films from Years before the 90's/00's. I have more action films from the 70's/80's than you can shake a stick at... And my gangster collection is pure awesome! I love movies, from all generations. One of my favourite movies of all time is actually White Heat with Jimmy Cagney... 50's, if I remember correctly... Maybe earlier!

I may be wrong here, but where does the OP state that it's opinion only? The original Mummy is a timeless classic and pretty much one of the first horror films (at least one of the founders of the "monster" theme movies, just like Nosferatu, Dracula and Frankenstein). The mummy trilogy (of which the original mummy is an almost direct remake) is pretty much just summer popcorn flicks (I enjoyed the first two, but only because I'm an egyptian mythology fan). 

There's nothing wrong with your opinion about the remakes being better than the originals (at least you don't go around calling them shit or anything), but I thought that this thread was also supposed to ask what movies were critically recieved better than the originals.
