Shame I've heard nothing but bad, bad things about the new show. Makes my rush to watch everything else almost not worth it, but I've been enjoying it anyway so oh well. Still plan to watch the movies first too, but apparently I'll still be missing out on arcs because for whatever reason the new show is skipping over them? Is that right? Seems pretty dumb... Hope I can find some good summaries somewhere.

Well the original anime and the movies both adapt the same arc (Golden Age) while the new show is going to adapt parts of both the Black Swordsman arc and the Conviction arc, so you definitely won't be getting everything. It doesn't diminish everything though as I think the original is a damn close masterpiece without needing to know anything else about Berserk. Actually if you're interest I recently review both the entirety of the 97 show and the first episode of the new one.
