I certainly agree with you......but on the same note, how can Hollywood possibly release a new 'blockbuster' "Spiderman"????? I mean, the last three of 'em were all done in the last few years or so.........so it's time for a remake? They didn't get it right? Their CG wasn't good enough?
The ONLY time I've seen such a strategy work was with the "Batman" franchise. The first few sucked hugely; a different Batman every time with increasingly idiotic scripts.........but when new directors took on the subject with Christian Bale as the Dark Knight, it suddenly got very interesting (vs. stupidly camp).
