Lets see, of the movies the article mentioned ......Spiderman II was a sequel to a reboot of a remade series.

XMen II was a sequel to a remake of a series.

Planet of the Apes was a sequel to a remake of a remake of a really bad series.

Transformers was the 3rd sequel in a series that only should have had one movie in it.

Am I the only one seeing a pattern, here?

Not at all! Their product SUCKS! Add to that the bad attitude and entitlement mentality of so many of the ‘stars’ and you get a really bad year at the old box office. Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of hypocrites.

Aren’t you looking forward to originals like

The Equalizer

and

Greatest American Hero

??

Yeah...they have no storytelling creativity. Been that way for a long, long time.

Only “sequels” or poorly done remakes of classics will do

All flash and glitter, no substance

Planet of the Apes was a sequel to a remake of a remake of a really bad series.

I think I would have phrased it: a remake of a really bad remake of a pretty good series (assuming you meant the original film series and not the short-lived TV series). Not all of the original "Apes" films were good, but the first one with Charlton Heston (written by Rod Serling) is generally regarded as a classic.

Yes...eventually every comic including the one at the dentist’s office about tooth decay will have 3 movies and a video game associated with it.
