New Vs. Original?

There are a lot of movies being made nowadays that are either a remake of an older film, or a cinematic adaption of an already established universe. It seems that no matter what the creators of these new films do, they always get a lot of hate for showing the world their take on this idea that wasn't originally theirs. 

I personally will watch just about any film and enjoy it, because most of the time I shut my brain off a bit when I walk into a movie theater. For example, a movie that got a lot of flak last year was the live action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. I am a huge Ninja turtles fan, and have been for very long time, and this film is one of my favorites of all time. I enjoy films like this(and other poorly received films like Transformers) because I love seeing characters or worlds that I've enjoyed since childhood that aren't real, be real! Films like this were actually what influenced me to go into animation.

But when I hear a lot about how others didn't like the film for reasons such as it didn't match the old cartoon, or their appearance wasn't like the comics, I even heard some say they didn't like it because it was purely different from any other renditions of the Turtles. Hearing these things come from others who I know love TMNT as well really shocked me, because the biggest reason I enjoyed the film is because it was almost all completely new! It seems to me that a lot of people want art to stay the same. Wants art to tell the same story, have the same characters, say and do the same things. But I love seeing other people's interpretation on things I know and love. I wouldn't have enjoyed this movie if it was the same thing as every other TMNT piece of media.

Am I the only one who feels this way? To be able to enjoy someone else's view on something I like, without criticizing it on what I would've done differently?
