I'll be honest, I haven't seen the original in awhile. It might be sacrilegious, but I didn't really mind this remake all that much. It's completely unnecessary, yes, and doesn't quite follow the comic book source material very closely, but it's entertaining enough when isolated on its own terms. Bill Skarsgård excels at playing these types of offbeat characters, along with his roles in Boy Kills World, It (Pennywise) and the forthcoming Nosferatu reboot.
It may not be a total success, but there is a sweet romantic thread and a decent amount of violence and gory kills, if nothing else. I like Bill's take on Eric Draven, but he's still not as cool as Brandon Lee.
