Reboot this and Remake that. Hollywood got fat and lazy.

Its no secret that Hollywood love to remake films they have no right in messing with however in the last few years it has become somewhat of an insult. Growing up in the nineties I like to think I enjoyed the most of what Hollywood had to offer. Jurassic Park being one of the highlights and who can forget the Disney Renaissance era ;) however our public curiosity got the better of us and now we are in the remake period. Left right and centre, the Hollywood Remake/reboot is an unstoppable killing machine intent on driving up sales through curiosity at the expense of better films it has tried to portray. Believe me when I say remakes CAN be good. But alas for every good remake such as 'The Thing' and 'The Fly' comes a hailstorm of disappointments. Who thought to do a sequel prequel to The Thing would be a good idea, who thought Robocop would be a good remake. Did you know they are going to re make Gremlins, GREMLINS of all things. I smell cheap CGI Gremlins running around with Gysmo more resembling Pikachu. Its a shame its come to this but lets hope its just a fad that will soon die out. Just remember movie goers. We are the ones making this happen. Stop paying your hard earned cash on mediocre cheap film making and eventually Hollywood will back away. Come on we can do this.
