Why do people latch onto franchises that should have died ten years ago? Maybe it’s time to create new icons, instead of just reinventing old ones. Is Hollywood just that lazy now. No new Terminator or Pirates of the Caribbean. WHO CARES! Nightmare on Elm street and Friday the thirteen we’re better when I was a kid. Leave nostalgia alone.
Also why do we absolutely need trilogies. Why not have stand alone’s. Why make a franchise out of every movie. They will get your money anyways, so why not get some entertaining value in something new?
We have the responsibility to ask for better product, not rehashes of old used stock.
I fully and completely agree. Hollywood needs to come up with new ideas for movies. Some films based on past work are really good (last summer's Star Trek), but that's still using old ideas as a crutch.
