i've seen the old ff movie in the philippinnes, though i don't think it was aired/ sold in the continetal US... when i saw it, t wasn't edited for special effects, so you can see the wires and everything... anyways, it wasn't good the way i saw it... and i was too young to bother with the story line... i just wanted to see them in real life action... maybe if i saw it edited, it would've seemed better... so i would say go for this new ff movie... it's gonna be better with the technology we ahve today... and hopefully they make one with doctor doom... james earl jones would be good... he rocks...
