Anyway, on point (slightly), it really bugs me when people get up in arms about what they call a remake, when in fact it's just a new adaptation of some source material, rather than remaking a film.

People wouldn't class the new Spider-Man as a remake of Raimi's one, so why do it to other source materials?
The Yanks haven't any really big ideas a lot of the time hence the remakes or new adaptations or whatever....
Some have been better than others but overall the originals very much are the best
Anyway who cares about The Weinsteins?
Luc Besson and co produced a fine film
