Of course, you're right. We all want that heroic everyman to stand up and save us... or maybe a robot from the future.

The essence of the original story cannot be regained, since it was so tied in with the blossoming of the Machine Age and the arrogance of man.

There was also the imperialist aspect of it -- which God forbid anyone would see in the Speilberg version -- you know, like the Mujahadeen pushed the Soviets out like a 'splinter in the finger.'
