15 Movie Remakes That Were an Insult to the Original (Collider)

"Remakes have consistently been a large part of the film industry almost since the beginning. From masterpieces that are generally acknowledged to be better than the original, such as David Cronenberg's 'The Fly,' to absolute disasters that make one wonder why anyone thought that a remake was even necessary in the first place, such as Jon Favreau's 'The Lion King,' it appears that Hollywood will never run out of old ideas to revisit and reimagine. Of this latter group, some of them fail so badly at being a remake that they serve only as an insult to the original film. Here are the most egregious films that insult their source material simply by being a remake of the original movie." - collider.com
