Probably not the place to be saying this, but I'm sick and tired of these franchise movies. Transformers, Star Trek, and the endless barrage of comic book movies. Why doesn't Hollywood just come up with some original ideas that are suited for its medium? There are plenty of writers/directors who are capable of original thought.
A Green Hornet movie? Based on the success of other comic book movies it's a safe bet, sure; but I'm tired of watching "safe", formulaic movies. A Nightmare on Elm Street? Not even a continuation, but a remake of the original?
To hell with american cinema; god, has it ever become stupid. Kubrick, D.W. Griffith, Hitchcock... They must be rolling in their graves. American cinema has become so narcissistic in appealing to the juvenile youth demographic that it has become a laughable parody of itself. GROW UP!
Whatever happened to the auteurs? At least Tarantino is still working his magic. Forcing us to think on some level.
