The endless wave of sequels, prequels, pre-sequels, remakes and reboots keeps hitting us with full force, and guess what...it still sucks.
That certain film companies don't care about film anymore has been abundantly clear. For years now mainstream cinema is feeding off the creativity of franchises from 20, 30, 40 or even 90 damn years ago. It's a sad process and certainly one we should stop supporting with our money and time. It's just not worth it.
When was the last time a remake or reboot did well? Alexandre Ajas "The Hills Have Eyes" from 2006? I certainly can't think of any other that actually added something to a franchise instead of just turning something great into something creatively bankrupt, bland and tasteless.
I hope these movies keep failing but I've been hoping so for years now... Until we don't demand originality we'll get the same kind of grey sludge over and over again.
