If that's the case, then a good 90% of movies made, old OR new, are "cheesy".

"Cheesy" is a term that is so easily thrown around by people that just simply didn't like a particular movie or series, IMO.

I saw "Batman Begins" up there. It's just as cheesy as the original Batman was- The origin is basically the same in both. So if it's corny in one, then it's corny in the other. If it's unrealistic in one, then it is in the other as well.

I've seen people call the original BSG "cheesy" and the remake "cool". Why? The remake had VERY unrealistic characterizations.

A Cylon and a human having a kid? One is a machine, the other a human. Now THAT is "cheesy".

"We need to start making babies." An actual line from the remake mini. That on top of all the "sexualizations" in the series.

No... a more realistic line is: "We need to make sure the human race doesn't die out."

Then there is Star Trek. Many call the original cheesy. Why? It's no more unrealistic than "Enterprise" or, hell, even the latest, greatest SciFi flick.
