Really? They're reaching back almost thirty years for movies to sequel-ize. It was an okay movie, but come on. Hardly worth repeating. I bring this movie up because it is symptomatic of the sorry state of the industry. If there weren't comic books, the industry would be completely screwed, yet they hold fast against new ideas of any kind.
This is the problem when accountants are in charge of an art form.
Where is Hollywood headed? If you ask me, straight down the tubes.
What do you have? Comic books, Adam Sandler and his buddies, Will Ferrell and his buddies, Pixar and pretty much nothing else. Once in a blue moon something fresh comes down the pike and those tend to be independent productions where someone had a great idea, got rejected by all of Hollywood and spent X number of years scraping together the financing to do it outside of Hollywood.
If you have a good idea, you'd better be able to finance it yourself or it will never get made. If it doesn't look like three other big money makers, nobody wants to touch it.
That is all. Rant concluded.
