These reboots of movies that doesn't require reboots achieves only two things for me... it reminds me to go and watch the origial movie again, while guaranteeing that I won't bother watching the reboot.
Remake movies that had good ideas and poor execution, or visa versa. Don't bother remaking movies that are already good.
I just watched Highlander a few weeks ago and I think this one qualifies as good idea, poor execution. The one scottish person on the cast played a spaniard, and it's not just some scottish dude. Why didn't they make the main character a frenchman?! He doesnt even use a scottish sword!

Wash yer mouth out! It's definitely a case of terrible idea, great execution - in fact, it's such a terrible idea that there was literally nothing with which to build a sequel out of. Every other Highlander movie and the tv show was little more than an awkward retcon milking exercise and little more.

A French main character? In a USian movie? I guess you forgot about that whole anti-French "Freedom Fries" charade.
