Why Are There So Many Remakes and Reboots

What's with Hollywood's obsession with retelling the same stories?

I think it doesnt even have to be a trailer or a picture that makes or breaks interest. Some are turning to hiring announcements of directors and writers. If they feel they had previously done bad films, they may not bite.

Also, when you bundled in beauty and the beast with alice and maleficient as examples of disney throwing them into the wasteland, does this indicate you already have seen the movie and found it mediocr at best?

WHY DID YOU BASH VACATION?! IT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES OF 2015! WHY WON'T YOU TREAT THESE REMAKES AND REBOOTS WITH MORE RESPECT?

I like it when a Reboot/Remake makes sense. Like, when the original is a little dated and could use an update.

Mat Brunet (AniMat)

Nope. That has nothing to do with the movie itself. It doesn't have to require seeing the movie to know that it'll be successful, but then in the long run, it'll just be overshadowed by the original, no matter how the remake will end up. Its fate is sealed

Long Story Short, TRUST is the key.

"The remake can make a bigger impact and be more beloved than the original." You don't realize how much I identify with that statement, and let me say 1 title; Little Shop of Horrors. Now which movie did you think of? Did you think of horror-comedy musical from the 80s, or the dark comedy public domain film from the 60s? Since I've only seen the 60s version, I get a little confused when I hear people talk about LSoH and it being a musical.

In the end, you just need to at least give a chance.

I'm probably seeing it on Friday, but by god am I dreading it. This is GB2016 all over again when it comes to the amount of hatred I have for it, but its a different kind of hatred.

The sound quality was a little bit off just so you know. And yeah, your right, quite right. Its not a new concept, and will never go away. Also hurah for liking Peter Jacksons King Kong, it may be overlong but you can tell the Jackson has an endless amount of love for the original and it shows.

Ok, so I might as well confess the truth and say that last week, I got a pre-screening for Beauty and The Beast, and I have to be very honest, it is NOT bad! It's not great either, and it definitely doesn't live up to the original, but it's not bad. I wouldn't really put it with Alice in Wonderland or Maleficent as it being bad, I would put it more in the lines of Cinderella and Pete's Dragon, because like those 2 films, it's not great, it's not terrible, it's just ok. I don't feel like anyone should be dreading to see it regardless of their feelings for the original. Just go in to expect an ok movie. Don't put your expectations too high, but don't put them too low either, because either way, you'll be disappointed.

I'm not gonna say that all live action remakes are bad, in fact some are good (like 2016's Jungle Book). However, the main reason is money whoring, considering how well 2010's Alice In Wonderland (which ruined big parts of the original imo) did, Hollywood discovered it as a way to milk money off of it.

Reviewer's Warehouse

They do it for how easily profitable it is. In 2010 when Tim Burton's remake of Alice In Wonderland came out (which ruined parts of the original which made it so good). I'll admit that not all of them are bad, like The Jungle Book is pretty good, and Cinderella and Pete's Dragon don't look half bad either. However, if there's one thing NO ONE can deny, it's that those also made a lot of money, which doing that grinds more and more money.
