I was thinking the same thing recently. I have to admit, not everything is remakes or sequels these days, but it does seem that way with all the buzz focused on those movies. Most of the original movies do not get the attention they deserve, I mean there are a few that do (example the Hurt Locker) but all you hear about usually is Spider-Man, Iron Man, The Wolfman etc.
I am tired of people making money off this stuff. They can't make enough Spider-Man, Batman, Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean, Shrek etc. movies. I think there should be a rule that you can only have three at max. Can you think of any sequel/prequel that followed a third movie that was actually good? I challenge you to come up with one. James Bond doesn't count.
I look forward to Toy Story 3, but I think 3 is enough. If they make a fourth one, even if the third if really good, I am still going to debate whether or not I should see it. I mean what's next a fifth one, and so on. Enough is enough.
