I guess if you said "The quality of summer blockbusters has really declined" you'd be right, although there really wasn't too far to fall for them, now was there? I swear: if someone else reimagines something or makes another superhero movie (or worse, reimagines a superhero movie that was already one (cough) Spiderman(cough)) I think I may just finish building my escape craft and leave this planet to its own devices.
Originality, people! It may not put bums on seats but it puts brains in heads! |
People don't like originality. As much as people have this same argument all the day. They never support original films that come out during the summer. The last original film that actually got supported during the summer months was probably Inception. There might be others but that's the main one that sticks out in my mind and how well it did.
