Movie Remakes


I, like many moviegoers, have noticed a growing trend in Hollywood over the past decade or so, or maybe even longer, of major studios putting out almost exclusively movies that are either based on books, based on comic books, based on video games, or are remakes. Am I the only one who is disappointed that there are no longer any original ideas out there, or at least that Hollywood has not latched onto them?

I think that instead of churning out remakes to movies that are already thought of as classics such as The Karate Kid and Friday the 13th, they should re-release them in theaters exactly as they were originally shown, so that they could get the younger generation to appreciate these films as I have and to gain whole new audiences without having to spend the money it would cost for one of these Blockbusters. They should do this with a lot of movies, including the original Indiana Jones and Back to the Future trilogies for starters.
