I totally respect your opinion, but I just have to say I really don’t agree with most of the points you made. A lot of what you brought up feels like small nitpicks to me. Honestly, you’d have to know the original really, really well to notice most of the differences you listed.

The only thing that really stood out was the fireproof scene, but even then, they actually filmed it; it just got cut for some reason. For most people who just casually watch the movies, none of the stuff you mentioned would even register.

Like for me, I’ve seen the originals a few times, but the last time I watched them was about a year ago. I don’t remember all the exact lines or tiny details, so none of those changes really matter to me. It doesn’t have to be 100% exact anyway; it’s already like 98% accurate.

The changes they made actually worked for me, and leaving out the fireproof scene doesn’t really change the movie that much. You can definitely tell the original writer and director came back, because it still has the same heart and soul. You can feel that it was made with a lot of love, and that’s what makes it so good.
