This weekend I saw Batman Begins. Yes, it is a good movie. Certainly head and shoulders above all the previous Batman movies, driven primarily by actors who can act, and a script that wasn’t written for children. However, as I have repeatedly pointed out to my friends, Batman Begins was not original in the least. It AGAIN, shows us how Batman became Batman. Come on, didn’t we see this exact same thing in the FIRST Batman movie (remember Michael Keaton?)!!! I think this complete lack of creativity is what is killing Hollywood. And it looks like it is getting WORSE, not better. Almost every movie I saw advertised at the movie theater was a knock off (or even worse, DIRECT remake) of previous movies. Does Hollywood really think that people will pay $10 a head to go see a remake of Herbie the Love Bug? Or Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? Or the Bad News Bears (for the love of God, if you are gonna remake a movie, at least remake a GOOD movie!!!!)!!!!!
Hollywood, get some frickin creativity. You suck.
