I'm not going to dissect this movie or it's creator. I'm just going to give a basic opinion.
I wanted to love this movie but I didn't quite get there. Part of that is my fault with not being able to let go of the original story and movies. I wanted more of the old. That's on me, not the movie. If you haven't seen it already, go into it with a semi blank slate and accept that it's going to be different.
