Changing the characters to fit our modern times doesn't bother me except when they left out changing the protagonist of the story. In a way, it is a bit fitting the Sandman doesn't fit with our modern time considering the plot. This doesn't make him likeable in any way, though.
In reality, the character Sandman is Neil Gaiman's "Mary Sue", which is a bit sad considering the Sandman is considered premier storytelling.
I kept expecting the Sandman to break out in song and sing "Friday I'm In Love" by the Cure, hang out at a mall with no money, or ruin the vibe at a party by being a constant downer.
Although the visual effects are pretty cool looking, at least.
