The problem with this approach is that it's like doing a too faithful a remake of a great song. The end result is just bad karaoke.

If a remake just apes the original in every way why does it need to exist?

I Heard It Through Grapevine is a good example. Gladys Knight And The Pips recorded it first and it was a hit. But Marvin Gaye's version is probably the definitive one because he took a completely different approach.

The original is poppy and upbeat. But Gaye's version is slower paced, moody, and ominous.

So getting back to cinema, this is the reason why Steven Soderbergh's Oceans 11 is superior to the 1960 original Oceans Eleven. He took the same concept but wrote a different script thus elevating the material.
