Why? Because it came first? They're both adaptations of a book, neither are completely original works of fiction. However, both have their own completely distinct styles of directing, writing, acting, cinematography, and music. What makes the original so much more special? The fact that it came first? They're both great movies that are great for entirely different reasons. The author of the book agrees. There's absolutely no rule against watching the second adaptation before the first adaptation. Or watching either adaptation before reading the book. Or watching either adaptation or reading the book at all.

The people who say "you should have watched the original first. It's far superior." are the same people who say "I liked that band before they were famous. You should listen to their stuff when they were still indie." It's entertainment, people can choose to watch, read, or listen to and enjoy anything they want without people telling them what they SHOULD have looked into first.

Do you think The thing from the other world was remade for the same reason then you are fucking deluded..
If you think I said either of those things... You're bad at reading.
