The remake got rid of the strong themes in the original, making the movie, forgettable.
They are not willing to make films any more that have 'strong' themes. Therefore even though straw dogs 2011 has been more or less forgotten, the problems that helped to make the movie 'bad' will continue to plague most new films.
The only reason why I know that, is because I read that on Allmovie.com in the Straw Dogs remake review.
