They took what was one of my favorite works of fiction, one that had great cynicism of the power structure and the military industrial complex, and turned it into garbage. The themes of war and peace, hero and anti hero, with no clear cut good guys, have been replaced with simple characters portrayed with no depth.
You didn't like all the heroes in the original. They weren't all great people. They were flawed. In fact the heroes WERE the villains. Now we have cartoonish portrayals of a white boogeyman, instead of punching at the system that hurts us all it punches at a race. It's pathetic.
