People are getting sick of Hollywood retreads.

They better start getting original or they will continue to have these major bombs in the box office.


This is a big problem, in my opinion, with Hollywood. They seem to be making remakes, which fans of the original often tell us were not as good as the original.

The all-woman Ghostbusters was a big bust. In that case, their remake to push girl power fell flat with audiences.

Then you have the whole action/adventure/superhero genre, with thin plots but dazzling computer graphics to shock and awe the audience.

And let’s not forget Disney seems to be on a quest to make live action movies out of their cartoons of the past, such as Dumbo and Aladdin and Mulan and even Lion King.

Well, the original Ghostbusters was a bad script saved by stellar chemistry and add-libbing.

The remake didn't have a cast that could improvise out of a similarly awful script, and the actors who can do that are hard to come by.
