Sequels

Just read that Bad Boys 3 is officially a Go with Michael Bay.  Don't get me wrong, when I love a movie, I want more of it.  I want more of the characters, more of the story.  What else happened to them after I turned off the TV? I totally get our obsession with having sequels.  Plus it's proven that if you advertise it in the right way, people will see it.  I'm even looking forward to a few sequels (Bridesmaids being one of them...hurry up y'all, start working on it! lol).

I just wish that we could come up with different ideas instead of sequels or comic renditions. I love superhero movies (more now than I did growing up...never got into the comic book phase), I'm just starting to get over them.  Yes, someone with powers comes and saves earth.  I get it, and it's entertaining, but where's the newness?

Again, I love that we also re-make movies, however now that I'm growing up, the movies that are being re-made are movies that I grew up loving. I now understand why people get upset when they re-make a movie you grew up with.  I understand that it's to introduce an interesting story to modern society and again, I do enjoy it.  Part of me just wishes that they would do a better job at the re-make.  It's hard to pinpoint a specific thing wrong with all of the remakes and I could go on for hours talking about each one (mainly horror movies).  Anyway, my point is, I wish that you could come up with more original-ish ideas Hollywood!  Less re-makes and sequels (we've seen quite enough of Capt. Jack Sparrow. Please, move on).
