My thoughts exactly, the first time through. I thought it was ridiculous to make a Michael Bay style huge budget remake of one of the most groundbreaking low-budget successes in history. It didn't capture the gritty feel of the original at all. When "The Beginning" came out, I knew what to expect, and actually liked it a lot because it I remember it being more cringe-inducing than the remake.
Having rewatched the remake a couple times, I don't mind it as much. It's like the Dawn of the Dead remake, just a completely different movie, and not too bad in its own right. I haven't rewatched the prequel yet.
