Hollywood, We Have a Problem with Movie Franchises

Remakes and Franchises make movie watching boring these days. Same ol' this and with a sprinkle of that thing already imagined. Jurassic World and Ocean's 8 are two examples of films —this summer— whose failure to deviate from the plot and character development of it's precursors to produced a final product that hit all the marks of fanfare but lacked originality. What's In This Episode Weighing down Jurassic World: Kingdom is a story that went way off the grid of believability, but conforms to the beloved moments of the first film, Jurassic Park. Sicario, is new to the franchise market, but can it survive as a profitable film series to a story that needed no sequel? With a cast of eight actresses and the potential to breath new life into this forgotten franchise, Ocean's 8 failed to create a better version of the original film by sticking to the Soderbergh heist movie formula. I blame tween novels, and the social media experience.   We're always open for suggestions and/or a favorable comment But Machete don't tweet.
