Frankly, I'm more surprised when a movie remake DOESN'T change much. Case in point, one of my favorite movies of all time is 12 Angry Men. I really dug the original, but found the remake completely pointless. (And I'm only 29, so it's not nostalgia or anything talking.) The remake was practically a shot-for-shot remake with basically the entire script intact, other than two changes that stuck out in my mind for some reason. (In the interest of brevity, I won't bother describing it unless you want me to.)
After the movie ended, I literally closed the browser and my first thought was, "Why?" It just seemed like such a waste of everyone's time. Unless one has something really against black-and-white, or the all-white cast of the original, I have no idea why a remake was created.
