Batman - the Tim Burton films were terrible on almost every level imaginable except set design, but Batman Begins and the Dark Knight were both amazing.

Battlestar Galactica - seriously, even if someone didn't like the ending I don't think they could argue the original is better.

Star Trek - I wouldn't really say I like it better than the original, but it was pretty damn awesome in it's own way and the shot in the arm the franchise desperately needed.
