I think more than anything what we need is more movies made by low-budget places. I really don't want to see another sequel, redo, or comic book movie. It's just lazy on the part of the movie companies.

> I really don't want to see another sequel, redo, or comic book movie. Well millions and millions of other people do, so why should the movie companies cater to you instead?
Now all major movies originate in the same place. The last fresh blood had come mostly from Latin America, Mexico in particular.
And the place for experiments changed. Now it's TV series. If the concept works, they make another season. Two-hour feature films are reserved for proven concepts. For moviegoers, it turns to be more like a social experience, not an arty one.

Making a sequel of that thing means only the people who watched [AND LIKED] the first thing will watch the second one, also ensuring top tier ratings, making more people want to see what makes it so great.
Having original movies is a true blessing; but sequels, remakes, novel and comic book movies are true "office box smashes" with very, very little to risk.
Thing is, the ratings are irrelevant. Someone is paying to see these movies, else executives wouldn't approving them to be made. It's all about money, and brainless, rehashed, sequel nonsense makes tons of it. You want someone to blame? Blame the public. It's not Rotten Tomatoes or the Movie Industry. The latter is giving everyone exactly what they want. In response to below. The Mummy made $403,814,493 with a 16% !!…
I once plotted the TSPDT Top 1000 movies by year. That's an all-time ranking voted by critics. The distribution plot peaks around the 1970s and declines since then. For one, post-war European cinema was really great and influenced the American industry. Now all major movies originate in the same place.

I would go to see movie, if there would movie that I would be interested to see. Crickets,nothing, just sameness I have already seen hundreds times or comics/star wars or other old franchise I never cared about.
The CG people have their act together. When was the last time a big-budget movie flopped because the special effects were done badly? Effects are carrying many weak movies. People don't realize until it's over that it sucked.
See what's airing, google them all, if they get high marks read what they're about, if there's 3 or more films that are good and I want to see, go and see them in a day
