on that note, Mike & Jay of RedLetterMedia (internet famous for the 90+ minute reviews that shred the Star Wars Prequels) show their NSFW (few f-bombs) enthusiasm for the Summer movie line-up.

It's pretty clear what's happened - too many terrible "original" movies combining with the recession and a more savvy consumer base who are prepared to wait and see if a film is reviewed as terrible before throwing cash at it. Ultimately resulting in Hollywood taking the lowest hanging fruit in reboots and sequels.

Just grim. Michael Bay particularly is the grimmest of the grim.
 
THat and Hollywood dumps far too much money into some movies, if they flop it destroys them financially.

Lone Ranger, anyone:
Budget:
$215,000,000 (estimated)
Opening Weekend:
$29,210,849 (USA) (5 July 2013)
Gross:
$89,289,910 (USA) (4 October 2013)

(Anchorman 2, another unnecessary sequel, apparently grossed $2.7m... weeeee)

So yeah, everything they do just follows a blueprint and uses prior successful franchises in an effort to pull on the name brand. It will just burn them out even faster when you have Hulk, Hercules, Spiderman, Superman reboots coming in shorter and shorter cycles. This will just burn the names out and drive less and less interest.

Never mind the moviegoing experience is expensive and ultimately crap nowadays. HD tvs and home theater surround systems mean a great experience without paying $20 for a ticket, a small popcorn and a thimble full of soda.

Honestly, though, I think I can count on my fingers the number of movies I've seen at the theater in the past decade.

TV has replaced movies for interesting viewing.
