It can depend. Some people love certain takes on old ideas or franchises( Batman and Robin=best Batman film ). But we don't want a world where there are only sequels, remakes, and reboots. Your want a healthy mix of new IP and old IP.

This can also apply to prequels, which have a fifty/fifty of being dreadful.

Good Prequel:Snake Eater.

Bad Prequel:The Phantom Menace.
