I can't say I completely agree, but I see where some of this "stigma" comes from. Saban and Co. may have "rushed" the original adaptation into production and gambled on several details without realizing how the world was going to perceive it. There are several details when watching the original that are...sadly laughable and hard to listen to. Given that most of the Mighty Morphin' people were 18 and over at that time, it's hard to see how some of them got all of that dialogue out at all. However, like every franchise before and after, it's getting a "shot in the arm" in an attempt to revitalize it. The movie could go several different ways, as most who watch these modern "Superhero" franchise movies work are those who want nothing to do with the franchise as a whole. Sure, long-time fans are looking to see exactly what the offering will be, but there are plenty who never gave "Transformers" or "X-Men" or "Batman" a second thought and are still responsible for a large portion of the box office gross.
