I'm glad you guys liked the movie. 

I was afraid that fans of the original would give it a far below average rating rather than the about average rating it deserves. Some are doing that.

You seem to be completely missing some things.

Why post this thread if I didn't want to hear what you had to say? Because I posting this thread with specific instructions that I only wanted to hear viewpoints from people who have actually seen the movie. That's why you got an immediate dismissal. That SHOULD be enough for you to understand this situation. 

Having a discussion with someone about something complex, when they've only heard someone else's views on it, is usually quite hollow and pointless.
