I now really hate remakes. Like for instance new remake of "The Magnificent Seven" looks lazy. Some can argue that previous "The Magnificent Seven" was remake of "7 Samurai" and although "M7" was inferior to it's Japanese original it added something new. It set the story to the wild west and explored it. Like "A Fistful of Dollars" which did the same with movie "Yojimbo" or, in other cases, like "Scarface" which moved the story in that present time and really re-made the original.
These current re-makes are none of that. They don't add nothing new. They don't take "The Magnificent Seven" and set it let's say in outer space (although that has been done). "Ghostbusters" what new did it add? Women? That's not enough. Plus the movie is awful. I tried to watch it and it's not even a movie. It has no construction, nothing but forcing of lame jokes one after another. You know like Melissa McCarthy's character being obsessed with food - because, you know, fat people are obsessed with food.
I mean why don't they just make something new? Why re-make Star Trek? If you want to make a movie about star ships it doesn't have to be automatically Star Trek. Or it doesn't have to be Star Wars because you feel like the story of Star Wars will never have an end, so you even ask yourself why even something bother with something endless?

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
