"Ya,I'm Original."

last.As I love Fanpop and it's members.Well down to the main point.I just want to point out that Hollywood is killing off the film industry.All today's films that get publicised are all recycled junk.Either Remakes or sequels or based on something.
Lets look at some of the films out now.
We have the Golden Compass,Hitman and the Mist.
We already have 2 based on books and the other is based on a game.Now i can't talk much about the mist and it has not been slated by critics.The Golden Compass however I haven't seen this but Critics are showing no mercy.Now hitman I have seen and it is rubbish.This is just from one week.An average one.
So lets look at the Summer Blockbusters from this year
Here are just some.
The Bourne Ultimatum.POTC:At World's end.Spiderman 3.Order of the Phoenix.Shrek 3.Simpsons Movie.Oceans 13.Rush Hour 3.Transformers.28 weeks later.Fantstic Four 2.Evan Alighty.Die Hard 4.0,Ratatouille and Halloween.
Before you mention it I realise I am leaving out a few that are original like(Once,Knocked up,Superbad) but these are just purely some off the top of my head.The Bourne Ultimatum.sequel POTC:At World's end sequel.Spiderman 3 sequel.Order of the Phoenix.sequel Shrek 3sequel.Simpsons Movie. based on tv series Oceans 13.sequel Rush Hour 3sequel.Transformers based on tv series.28 weeks later sequel.Fantstic Four 2. sequel Evan Alighty sequel .Die Hard 4.0 Sequel, Ratatouille NEW and Halloween.Remake
Only one Original idea in a sea of old ideas.come on Hollywood ye can do better.
Please don't bitch if you disagree this is just my opinion.

They do remakes because the originals are made in the 50's usually so they like to make things more up to date and appealing to this generation. Remakes of books also because this generation watches more tv/movies than reads books.
Sequels are made when they realise "oh, that movie drew in a lot of $$$ so people will sure see #2" and a lot of the times it works. Also with TV shows to movies people see it works on tv, why not make it movie length which brings in more of the $$$.
And you mentioned "based on something". That's just a way of telling a story but with some of your own creative control. To write a great 5 star solid movie isn't the easiest these days as there are so many movies made it will always be said "similar to so and so movie".
