I love how people who get looked down on for whatever reason, always tell the other person to "get off their high horse".Erja_Perttu said:................
I think you're being very elite-ist. Do you expect people to come out of the theatre having enjoyed the movie and say 'yeah, that was awesome, but having only watched the original three hours ago I'm in no position to comment as to the series' themes and enjoyability.'
Get off of your high horse and accept that people can have a good time and not know everything about obscure movies you think you're more entitled to.

Let me answer for him.
NO!!!
Why don't, instead of telling someone else to lower their standards, you try to friggin' raise yours?!
So what if you weren't around for the original movie?!
I wasn't and still saw it over a DECADE ago.
You've had YEARS now.
So, unless you're a lazy douche-bag, you can USE YOUR BRAIN and find movies worth seeing.
Use the internet, ask friends and family, and people OLDER than you, look up critics' top choices, look at any "top movie" listing.
And go educate yourself on the spectacle and art-form that is movie-making.
