Millennials, Gen-Z Want Original Movies and TV, Not Remakes — Survey
Nearly three-quarters of respondents to a study commissioned by Tubi said they want "stories that push the boundaries of what's possible."
You're viewing a single thread.
With that though, I'm happy with good sequels to old movies, franchises or shows. Not many actually do that, but a few gems IMHO include Rogue One and Ghostbusters: Afterlife.
Really though, if they're going to regurgitate old stuff why not take a movie/series that had a good premise and bad execution. It at least stands a chance of being better the second round.
Hell, you could even poke fun at the reasons the original sucked and/or make it a twist in the remake.

Sometimes there are movies that have absolutely nothing going for them except the background. And I want a movie about the things going on in the background.
Ad Astra may have been utterly god awful, but I would actually enjoy a movie about the moon base.
Lol, and whatever happened to the space monkeys.
Alf: the musical
The new Bill and Ted was pretty good. I'm kind of curious what movies you think could be rebooted to be made better..
Yeah, some stuff has including Bill and Ted.
Off the top of my head, stuff that had a neat idea but kinda didn't come out or do well:
- Krull
- RIPD
- Hancock
- A good portion of the Justice League movies (but too soon for that)
- Avatar (though I've heard the new series is ok, also: not the 3D one with the giant Smurfs)
- Solaris
Various book or game adaptations that tried and failed or were overshadowed by something else
- Narnia (failed vs Harry Potter and didn't get followed through, but wasn't that bad)
- Percy Jackson
- Eragon
- Dresden Files TV series
- Wing Commander
- Doom (the 3rd game in the series actually did have a plot and it was better)
I wouldn't mind remakes of old movies, because personally I'm not going to go watch a movie that was made in the 80s even if it is a classic or was amazing at the time.
I don't care for remakes of movies that are like 8-10 years old.
The 80s is too old? I understand not enjoying the style of the Golden Age of Hollywood, but what about movies like Back to the Future or Full Metal Jacket or The Princess Bride puts you off?
Not sure, I like watching movies but I'm no movie buff. I don't analyze movies critically for art and style, I just like it or I don't. I don't think I've ever seen a movie from earlier than 2000 that I can say I'll rewatch it again sometime because I loved it so much. Tried a few here and there but they just never caught my interest much.
Probably the oldest movie that I can actually say I loved and will rewatch every few years is 28 days later from 2002. I would even struggle to name any movie older than that.
