Though I was always a fan of the original TV series, I never really found the modern movie remakes to be as appealing or enthralling... too much hype and not enough story... but then again, back in the old days the idea of some of the gimmicks was pretty high tech and 'beyond imagining' whereas today it is simplicity itself to scan a document and change the writing, or jump onto a computer and find almost any information you need by legal, or other, means.
