I first started using the film boards on imdb back around 2000, which was over 20 years ago. The same type of people were posting the same kind of "hey Citizen Kane is wayyyy overrated" posts, which were met with the same type of reactionary responses. This will always happen, if you are going to be bold enough to go against the grain, then you have to be bold enough to deflect any harsh comments and keep it moving.

Rip off accusation is a slippery slope, nearly every filmmaker drew inspiration from films they grew up watching and incorporated that into their movies and style.

And it's this sort of accusation nonsense that's probably responsible for there not being the next generation of Oliver Stones, John Woos, or even the next Tarantino.
