I saw it Sunday, and I write this as a 30-something who grew up on the original films, and loved them and got really geeky about them. The new one just felt lazy and soulless. In the other movies, I always knew the characters would survive..but I didn't sense that THEY knew it. Not this one. It just felt like they knew they'd get threw and just had to sit there and watch while they were transported to the end. I mean, at least before they had to try and they looked surprised when whatever they tried succeeded.
It wasn't terrible, and I liked the first half, then it just sort of seem to stop trying once they got into the jungle. I was happy to see Marion back, though. "Don't look at this movie Marion! Close your eyes! Don't look at it!"
