I don’t know. I’d have to have specifics on what the original was like before I take their word for it being bad. Just because the studio wanted to “make it better” in their words does not actually mean that the quality of the original was poor. Think about that recent Fantastic Four movie. That was heavily reshot but based on the final product I doubt that it was because the original version was completely terrible.

Just for the record, I wasn’t being sarcastic with my comment on it being about sacrifice, I genuinely didn’t get any of that from the movie. I thought it’s message was about “learning to work together” and “doing the right thing” or something like that.
