RE: Reboot, Remake, Remaster, Sequels and going to hell in a hand cart!
Tim Burton is brilliant when crafting a film from his own mind, but abysmal when adapting an existing property. Dark Shadows, Planet of the Apes, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Alice in Wonderland were all forgettable films (though I love his version of Sweeney Todd).
Most of all I'm sick of Disney making live-action reboots of their own animated classics. We've already gotten Maleficent, Cinderella, The Jungle Book, Pete's Dragon and Beauty and the Beast. And they have live action adaptions of seemingly half of their vault in the works now that Beauty and the Beast made $500 million at the box office.
Its our fault. A live-action remake of a 25 year old animated movie is the top grossing film of the year so far (besting 2nd place by over $100M). If we stopped watching these reboots, they'd have to go back and look for new and fresh things to make.
Ya I'm sick of the live action animated remakes too. They just announced Aladdin w/ Will Smith as the genie! Ugh why just why would we ever need that?
We need to vote with our feet and wallets and stay away from them.
yeah seen that, strange news.
