Jackal and Day of the Jackal:
Conclusion
So, taking everything into consideration, are reamkes ‘worth it’?
The two films have an obvious visual contrast; we can sum this is using an analogy.
The two films are both directed at different audiences, but both have one aim for the film; to make money.

This brings us back to our main two points; are remakes worth it, and are they less good, or just different?
Well they are both for different audiences and tick all the boxes of the criteria for each of the audiences.
Also, remakes must be worth it, as they have both raked in alot of money.
In my opinion, I preferred the second film, but have a strong appreciate for the first film, and the only reason for me preferring the remake is due to me being part of the more modern audience and the film being more modern and ‘upto modern society standards’.
