Couldn't agree more. Those movies are most fuckin' excellent, and really good
continuations of the original. Dammit. It's my opinion that people hate these movies because they wanted them to be remakes of the original. Nobody who rated the movies terribly can accept that they're continuations of a pre-established story. The mythology of the original can't be recreated, it can only be acted upon. I guess that's what people who didn't like the movies were expecting, that there would be something earth-shattering and unexpected like in the original. Hell, if that was my expectation, then I would have hated them too, but since I was expecting these movies to be a continuation of the original story, then I wasn't dissappointed at all. In fact, I still think that there's an overwhelming amount of good things about these movies that few people can appreciate.
