The more the better… or not?


Why so many superhero films (and series as well)? And most of them reboots, sequels, prequels? Of course, they sell, so that is probably why the film studios create more and more. The question is, do we really need a remake of a series of films that were released 10 years ago? It just seems forced.

A quote from one of the articles on this subject: Hollywood has become sensational at predicting what its audiences want to see. And, ironically, for that very reason, it's become better at making relentlessly average movies. Apparently, people want their expectations to be fulfilled on the screen that is the plot lines should be tailored as to deliver the most satisfaction to the viewer. The test-audiences decide what they dislike and the production team changes it. They instinctively want the next blockbuster reminds them of the last summer’s one.

The thing is, that the superhero films tend to dominate the entertainment news. The rivaling studios want to come out on top of this race. Honestly, I don’t mind watching a film of this genre from time to time but it looks as though most of the promotion materials are about these films.
