This remake just made me wonder if the original source material is even any good. It's not just the way they are filmed; the story itself kinda sucks.
I didn't see the original until about a year ago, and I thought it was good but not amazing. I think it was a "time and place" thing, and the style and Brandon Lee legend appealed to a lot of teenaged kids. I suspect the remake just comes across as "trying too hard."
