The movie wouldn't even exist without all the mean people who said mean things about it. They weren't being jerks, they were disappointed in a remake of something they have loved for a long time.

Personally, I think the movie could have just been a two-hour examination of the futuristic city they designed, which was beautiful and enthralling. The actual story was not very interesting at all.

My problem with the new movie is that its only good parts felt like cheap remakes of bits of the old movie, and it left the best parts behind. There's no reason to watch the new one if you saw and liked the old one.
