I feel as if it's good and bad in some ways. A lot of older films weren't necessarily anticipating sequels, so that made the originals more iconic, and often the sequels not nearly as good. Now it seems they make films with a sequel in mind so it might not seem as complete as older films, but the new sequels will be better than the old sequels.
So in short...
Originals > Remakes
Remake sequels > original sequels
This isn't always true of course, but it might be true in terms of continuity.
