 jp> Honestly, that's probably one of the best ways to experience almost any
 jp> movie - just going in blind without any preconceptions, expectations, or

Hard agree, if I have even the smallest amount of faith that a movie is going to be really good I go into a total blackout about it.  Did that with the latest Dune movies and so effing glad I did.  Best was going into The Matrix totally blind, I think someone told me it was a movie about ninjas without gravity or something and that's all I knew.  Mind totally blown

 jp> That said, yeah, this one gets what I feel are incredibly
 jp> disproportionate amounts of criticism on the Internet. So many people

This is the problem with well established IP, the audience somehow feels ownership over it to the extent that if it isn't done the way they want or think it should be done the entire thing needs to be burnt at the cross.  There can be no redeeming qualities at all if it deviates from what the base wants or expects.
