I've been rethinking my stance on remakes after watching the new Dune. The original 1984 film was a cult classic, but the 2021 version brought depth to characters that felt flat before. Yet when I heard they're remaking The Crow, I felt that familiar dread—some stories are tied to their moment, and trying to recapture lightning in a bottle often ends up as a pale imitation. Does a remake have to surpass the original to be worth making, or can it stand alone as a fresh interpretation that adds something new to the conversation?
