the reboot really is that. the rules are totally different, so you have to come at it as a completely different experience.
it's neat if i'm being generous, but really can't compete with the original.
I remember while watching the reboot thinking, this would have been better as a sequel with new Cenobites, but the same lore. In a franchise that has so many sequels there is no reason to reboot. Changing the lore is not going to endear any old fans to the franchise and it is not going to pull in new fans.
i can only imagine they wanted to explore new ideas and angles and didn't want to retread. which is fine as far as it goes.
