I don't think it's "uncharitable"? Seems perfectly reasonable to not like a remake.

He says:

Context is that "this" is the 1999 film.

A sibling comment makes a separate point that even the 1992 film is not original content but nowhere in falcor84's comment does he refer to the franchise as a whole being "theft".

Regardless, it's clear from the post that the context is the 1999 film being `creative "theft"` which I inferred meant they changed the story in ways he didn't like but... he can weigh in if he feels like it.

That's not the uncharitable part of your comment.

> [...] but he wants it to be because he doesn't like the 1999 film

This is the uncharitable part.

Nothing charitable or uncharitable in the sentiment. Just interpretation.

Keeping context confined to the 1999 and 1992 films... What meaning do you infer?

I still can't find an alternative.
