I have no problems with the idea of remakes or re-imaginings, nor do I have any problem with gender/ethnicity changes*. My problem with these films is in execution. As Alex has already stated, making Starbuck a woman was brilliant. Of course, that whole remake was brilliant, barring the weak ending to the show.
*One exception. Ongoing stories (cough Harry Potter cough) should maintain gender/ethnicity identity. Making Hermoine Granger black in the latest production is ludicrous. Much the same as making Lee Jordan Caucasian or the Patil sisters Chinese would be.
