The list of quality remakes, reboots and decades later sequels is super short. Especially if we remove remakes of golden age of Hollywood movies.
I'm going to catch flak for this, but I don't understand the fawning over Mad Max: Fury Road. Excellent cinematography, and that's about it.

It was just...weird. I've never watched the originals, so maybe it was the fact it was nostalgia and a mastery of the original concept?
