Well, to be fair, Lord and Miller stated that each LEGO film will be different in tone and style so that they will not feel like the orignal film done again.

Why? It already looks like Sony is learning their lesson by making a fully animated Smurfs film that is true to the source materiel. If they apply that same care to Popeye chances are it could be something great like The Peanuts Movie.
