Which was the 'better' remake?

Halloween is better at being a remake, but Death Wish is the better movie.

I went into RZ's Halloween with utmost optimism, and I left the theater more disappointed than I'd ever been. RZ botched that movie with his complete misunderstanding of what made the original great. He took it in all the wrong directions, and the movie fucking sucked.
I went into ER's Death Wish with no expectations (because Bruce Willis is a bit of a cunt these days), and I noticed in the trailer how much he'd changed everything around. It's almost nothing like the first movie, and from what I've heard about the original novel, it wasn't even close to that, but you know what? It was still entertaining enough.
I'll give this to DEATH WISH, easily.

I just watched the Death Wish remake. It's easily better.
I have a lot of issues with the Halloween remake. Death Wish wasn't perfect either. Some of the kill scenes felt generic, especially compared to the auto garage scene. The good outweighs the bad though. I'd watch a sequel.

Yeah, I feel like Eli Roth pussed out a bit on the Death Wish remake. I thought he for sure would've put in a rape scene, because that was kind of integral to the original, but he didn't. It was still a decent movie on its own though, but not as graphic as an Eli Roth movie ought to be. The bowling ball scene was decent though.
Then, of course... RZ's movie is more graphic than a Halloween was ever intended to be.

It was graphic enough.
It got a good shock reaction from the audience. Many of whom i'm willing to bet have no idea who Eli Roth was and were down for a Bruce Willis action movie.
So I dug being able to see that in the cinema.
More so than when I saw Infinity War and heard a big crowd getting excited and clapping to see Captain America in a movie for the millionth time.

Fuck Captain America! When I watched Avengers, he comes on screen for the first time and it's supposed to have this big impact, like "OMG! He's back to fight with the Avengers, even though he's a war criminal!" Well... dur. 
Fucker doesn't even say anything, and just puts on a dramatic expression. Then his stunt double does a few fight scenes and he gets paid millions for it.
I think Eli Roth is trying to play by the rules a bit more, and I can't really blame him. I love his horror stuff, but it's never quite as profitable as Bruce Willis' blank expression ever is. All jokes aside regarding Bruce's lack of acting, he did a better job in this movie than he's done a long while, so I'm happy about that.
